Eligible proposers include other Federal Agencies, State Entities, and United States Commercial Providers, with specific exclusions for entities associated with China, debarred parties, and those on terrorism watch lists. NASA will evaluate proposals based on four equally weighted factors: Fair Market Value Rent, Financial Capability/Viability, Technical Approach, and Impact to Glenn Research Center and Local Economy.

The facility is located at NASA's Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio, adjacent to Cleveland Hopkins International Airport, and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
