This federal contract award, with the ID 80NSSC25K7433, was granted by the Shared Services Center (a civilian agency) to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents. The contract, valued at $997,259.00, is a grant for research to be performed over a period ending on January 19, 2029.

The contract requires the University of Arizona to execute a balanced science program based on guidance from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, administration priorities, and direction from Congress. The university is to participate as a key partner and enabler in the agency's exploration initiative, focusing on scientific research of, on, and from the Moon, lunar orbit, Mars, and beyond. Additionally, the university is tasked with advancing discovery in emerging fields by identifying and exploiting cross-disciplinary opportunities between traditional science disciplines, and developing a directorate-wide, target-user focused approach to applied programs, including Earth science applications, space weather, planetary defense, and space situational awareness.

This contract award is not designated as a set-aside. The University of Arizona has been awarded both federal contracts and grants, demonstrating its extensive capabilities in supporting various federal agencies across multiple scientific and technical domains.
