About this opportunity
NASA Headquarters' Space Technology Mission Directorate (STMD) is seeking research, development, demonstration, and infusion proposals for space technologies through the SpaceTech-REDDI-2026 Umbrella NASA Research Announcement (NRA), which will be released on or about December 9, 2025. The solicitation encompasses research and development in physical, engineering, and life sciences with a focus on developing transformational space technologies that address critical stakeholder needs and advance U.S. space technology innovation and competitiveness globally. Proposals will be solicited through multiple appendices issued under this umbrella solicitation as specific technology topics are defined and funding becomes available, with interested parties able to access appendices through the NSPIRES system by searching for the solicitation number and selecting "List of Open Program Elements." The evaluation criteria will prioritize technological innovation, advancement of U.S. space capabilities, contribution to economic growth within the expanding space economy, and the development of the aerospace technology community. The umbrella solicitation is anticipated to remain open for one year, with annual SpaceTech-REDDI solicitations expected to continue, allowing for multiple proposal windows as new appendices are released.
No set-aside designations are being used for this opportunity, and the pre-solicitation notice does not identify any specific incumbent contractors or current award recipients. The notice does not provide explicit award values or budget ranges, as funding will be made available through subsequent appendices tied to individual technology topics. The solicitation represents a framework approach where specific numerical details regarding contract values, timelines, and quantities will be defined within each released appendix rather than in this overarching umbrella announcement. Interested parties should monitor the STMD Solicitations and Opportunities webpage for announcements of anticipated appendix releases and check NSPIRES regularly for new program elements as they become available.
