About this opportunity
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Goddard Space Center is seeking industry-led capability studies and demonstrations in two areas under the Next Space Technologies for Exploration Partnerships-2 (NextSTEP-2) Broad Agency Announcement - Lunar Surface User Terminals and Network Orchestration and Management Systems. NASA requires state-of-the-art industry studies, system development, and demonstrations for a dual-purpose navigation and communication lunar surface user terminal that meets technical requirements to support lunar surface exploration and ensure interoperability. Additionally, NASA seeks innovative industry studies and demonstrations on advanced Network Orchestration and Management Systems to effectively manage a globally distributed network of satellite ground systems supporting the Near Space Network. Proposals will be evaluated based on technical merit, relevance, and price, and are due by August 7, 2024. NASA plans to make initial contract awards by September 30, 2024.
This solicitation does not have any set-aside designations. NASA reserves the right to select multiple, one, or none of the proposals received. The total cumulative award value has been allotted at $1,100,000, and the period of performance for any resulting contracts will not exceed six months. The place of performance is Houston, TX 77059, USA.

AMENDMENT 03: The purpose of this Amendment is to: (1) Provide additional Questions and Answers; and (2) Replace Appendix A which includes revisions to Section 4.1.3,h.v. - PN Turn-Around Coherency and Section.
AMENDMENT 02: The purpose of this Amendment is to "Revise Enclosure A by deleting the marking of "CUI/SP-PROCURE" from the entire document"
AMENDMENT 01: The purpose of this Amendment is to: (1) Provide Questions and Answers; and (2) Replace Appendix A which includes revisions to Section 4.2.17 - c, i. Compute Requirements, and Section 10, Organizational Conflicts of Interest (OCI).
"Any responses to questions will be made in writing, without identification of the questioner, and will be included in the amendment to the solicitation.
National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA} intends to release a solicitation under the Next Space Technologies for Exploration Partnerships-2 (Next STEP-2) Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) to seek industry led capabilities studies.
NASA's long-term vision to provide for a resilient space and ground communications and navigation infrastructure in which space mission users can seamlessly "roam" between an array of space-based and ground based networks has been bolstered by innovative studies delivered by industry through the Next Space Technologies for Exploration (NextSTEP) - 2 Omnibus Broad Agency Announcement vehicle. Initially, NASA seeks to create an interoperable architecture composed of a mixture of existing NASA assets and commercial networks and services. In the long-term, this will allow for a smooth transition to fully commercialized communications services for near-Earth users. The overarching goal is to create a reliable, robust, and cost-effective set of commercial services in which NASA is one of many customers.
The Commercialization, Innovation, and Synergies (CIS} Office's third Capability Studies BAA is seeking industry insights, innovative guidance, and demonstrations in the following two (2) Study Areas:
- Lunar Surface User Terminals
- Network Orchestration and Management Systems
To support lunar surface operations, NASA is seeking state-of-the-art industry studies, system development, and demonstrations for a dual purpose navigation and communication lunar surface user terminal. The terminal must meet technical requirements provided by the government in Appendix Q to support lunar surface exploration plans and ensure interoperability with developed standards. Additionally, NASA is seeking innovative industry studies and demonstrations on advanced Network Orchestration and Management Systems that effectively address controlling and interfacing with a globally distributed network of Satellite Ground Systems currently supporting the Near Space Network. The resulting studies will ensure advancement of NASA's development of space communication and exploration technologies, capabilities, and concepts.
Proposals awarded under this Appendix Q will be evaluated in accordance with the omnibus BAA, Section 5. NASA reserves the right to select for award multiple, one, or none of the proposals in response to this Appendix.
Technical and programmatic comments and questions may be addressed by e-mail to Diane.Hood@nasa.gov.
