About this award
NASA's Shared Services Center awarded a $25,000 firm fixed price purchase order to For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology (FIRST), a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in Manchester, New Hampshire, on March 18, 2026. The contract supports sponsorship of the 2026 FIRST Robotics Buckeye Regional Competition, a multi-state high school robotics competition running through June 30, 2026, with performance taking place at Cleveland State University's Wolstein Center in Cleveland, Ohio. The award was made without a set-aside designation pursuant to a sole source determination under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), with NASA determining that FIRST is the sole provider capable of delivering this specialized sponsorship. The $25,000 in funding is designated specifically for venue rental and related services supporting the competition.
FIRST brings substantial experience in federally-funded STEM education and robotics programming, with an established portfolio of NASA cooperative agreements and grants totaling over $14.8 million, including a $12.4 million Robotics Outreach Competition IV program extending through December 2029. The organization also maintains a five-year $747,050 Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Department of the Army for competition-based STEM education services and has received multiple Navy purchase orders totaling approximately $409,300. The Buckeye Regional Competition aligns with NASA's Office of STEM Engagement mission to develop a skilled technical aerospace workforce by providing high school students with hands-on robotics design and engineering challenges.
