The contract is not set aside for any specific business classification.

The research will focus on the Southern Margaritifer Terra region on Mars, which has a long record of aqueous processes including a high density of valley networks, the Uzboi-Ladon-Morava meso-scale outflow system, and younger alluvial fans. The research aims to build upon prior mapping efforts that demonstrated this activity began in the Noachian period and persisted at least into the late Hesperian or Amazonian. The Smithsonian, a renowned federal trust instrumentality and non-profit organization, will leverage its expertise across disciplines including planetary science to support NASA's research objectives. The contract has an ultimate completion date of June 30, 2026.
