This document is a Solicitation for the Next Space Technologies for Exploration Partnerships-2 (NextSTEP-2) Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) Appendix R: Lunar Logistics and Mobility Studies issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Headquarters.

The solicitation seeks industry-led concept definition and maturation studies to address lunar surface logistics and uncrewed surface mobility capabilities. The key objectives are to identify innovative strategies and concepts for logistics and mobility solutions, evaluate driving technology maturity, cost, and schedule drivers, and obtain data to support NASA's definition and validation of lunar logistics and mobility requirements. Specific areas of interest include logistics carriers, handling and offloading, cargo transfer, staging/storage/tracking, trash management, surface cargo transportation and mobility systems, and an integrated logistics strategy. Proposals will be evaluated in accordance with the NextSTEP-2 omnibus BAA evaluation criteria, and NASA reserves the right to select multiple, one, or no proposals for award. The detailed study requirements and acquisition strategy will be provided in the forthcoming Appendix R solicitation.
