The primary objective is to provide comprehensive support for NASA's peer review lifecycle, facilitating research proposal submissions, reviews, and selections across various NASA research programs. Potential offerors must submit technical and contractual questions electronically to Jasmine N. Jett and Chanda M.

Proposals will be due approximately 30 days after the RFP release, around May 29, 2025. The evaluation will likely focus on technical approach, management capabilities, past performance, and the contractor's ability to support NASA's research announcement and selection processes.
The contract is designated as a competitive 8(a) Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 541611, with a size standard of $24.5 million. It will be structured as a Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee (CPFF) Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with a 5-year ordering period beginning June 1, 2026. The anticipated contract has a minimum guaranteed value of $5 million and a maximum potential value of $365.2 million, with a 60-day phase-in period to be awarded under a separate firm-fixed-price purchase order. The primary place of performance will be in Washington, DC (ZIP code 20546), with work to be performed primarily at contractor facilities. While specific incumbent information is not explicitly detailed, the solicitation suggests this is a follow-on to previous NRESS contracts, indicating potential continuity of services with modifications to meet evolving NASA research support requirements.
