NASA's Shared Services Center issued a purchase order to Regents of the University of Michigan on September 3, 2026, valued at $67,090 for research services analyzing Mars atmospheric evolution and climate habitability using Sample Analysis at Mars (SAM) instrument data and remote sensing observations. Performance occurs at Ann Arbor, Michigan through August 31, 2028. The government determined the university as the sole source capable of this effort under FAR 12.102(a) authority. Work focuses on interpreting in situ SAM data supplemented by ground-based telescope and spacecraft remote sensing to advance understanding of Mars' climate evolution, with emphasis on publishing results related to methane, CO2 isotopes, and volume mixing ratios. Administrative oversight is provided by NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. NAICS code is 611310 (Colleges, Universities, and Professional Schools); PSC is AJ11 (General Science and Technology R&D Services).
