The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) George C. Marshall Space Flight Center has issued solicitation M2M-MSFC-0001 for the Next Space Technologies for Exploration Partnerships-3 (NextSTEP-3) Appendix B, Moon to Mars Architectural Studies. This initiative seeks partner participation on a recurring basis to address topics including infrastructure, transportation, habitation, mission concept of operations, and Lunar and Mars mission science capabilities. NASA intends to establish a Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) using Firm-Fixed Price task orders with performance-based milestone payments. This procurement is classified under NAICS 541715 for Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (except Nanotechnology and Biotechnology) and PSC AR12 for Space R&D Services; Space Flight, Research and Supporting Activities; Applied Research.
The acquisition strategy includes directed-topic calls restricted to MATOC holders as well as open-topic opportunities available to any qualified organization regardless of MATOC status. Directed-topic calls will address specific areas of government interest identified in the Architecture Definition Document, while open-topic calls are intended to capture innovative solutions from the broader industrial base and may result in standalone Firm-Fixed Price contracts. Performance will take place in the United States. Six attachments accompany the solicitation, including a model contract, a sample task order, past performance questionnaires, and organizational conflict of interest plan instructions.
Proposals are due by February 20, 2026. Interested offerors are requested to notify the Contracting Officer, Maranda McCord, of their intent to submit a proposal and provide any written questions by February 6, 2026. There is no set-aside for this solicitation, and all awards will be subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulation and the NASA FAR Supplement. A Blackout Notice is currently in effect, requiring all communications regarding this acquisition to be directed solely to the designated Contracting Officer.
