About this award
NASA's Shared Services Center awarded a purchase order to The Regents of the University of Colorado for $227,526.00 on October 1, 2026, for development and validation of a speech-based AI system to monitor team functioning and detect psychological risk during Mars Exploration Analog missions.
Work is performed in Boulder, Colorado, with integration and evaluation at NASA Johnson Space Center. The system will adapt existing speech-based AI models from HERA mission data to the MEA environment, extracting acoustic and linguistic features including fundamental frequency, jitter, shimmer, MFCCs, loudness, and pronoun use. Deliverables include a preprocessing pipeline, visualization components for operational psychologists' use during Private Psychological Conferences, an operational playbook, curated datasets and pre-trained models, a documented open-source code repository, and evaluation support during MEA mission operations. Performance runs through September 30, 2028. The procurement originated as a special notice with capability statement due date of September 22, 2026, under NAICS 611310.
Description
