Network Extension for User Continuity and Sustainability ( NEXUS) Ka- Band Backward- Compatible Relay Broad Agency Announcement ( BAA) NextSTEP- 3 Appendix E - Draft Solicitation - Update 2: NASA removed controlled access from Appendix E, Solicitation to make Draft Appendix E attachment publicly available Update: NASA release of the draft competitive Appendix E solicitation under the Next Space Technologies fo
NASA seeks to accelerate maturation of commercially viable capabilities through competitive research demonstrations to support transition to future operational services, while preserving full and open competition for those services. All proposed satellite orbit solutions are acceptable notwithstanding that the proposed solutions will be expected to include all elements necessary for industry to develop, deliver and sustain the end to end relay service capability, including, but not limited to: space segment, associated launch services, as applicable, ground and network infrastructure, and service operations and maintenance.

This is a draft solicitation for NASA's Next Space Technologies for Exploration Partnerships 3 (NextStep 3) Omnibus for Project Nexus. NASA aims to acquire an end-to-end Ka band relay service, including space, ground, launch, integration, and operations, that is backward compatible with legacy TDRSS users for at least 15 years. This capability is needed to support missions that cannot modify flight hardware or transition to commercial services. The acquisition will be phased, with multiple initial firm fixed-price awards and progressive down-selections based on performance, technical credibility, and commercial viability. NASA anticipates that proposed solutions will have a broader commercial business case beyond NASA. The solicitation includes ITAR-controlled technical data, requiring contractors to have valid export clearance for access. The acquisition schedule includes Phase 1 (6 months) for concept development, Phase 2 (15 months) for capability development and integration, and Phase 3 (6 months) for on-orbit flight demonstration. NASA may also issue pilot service contracts as a Phase 4. The final BAA solicitation is tentatively planned for May 14, 2026, with a proposal due date of June 5, 2026. This is a full and open competition, and foreign offerors are not permitted.
The proposal due date for the final BAA solicitation is tentatively set for June 5, 2026. Phase 1 awards are anticipated no later than September 2026, Phase 2 option exercise around February 2027, and Phase 3 option exercise around May 2028 for a flight demonstration by June 2028 and verification through September 2028. A Phase 4 pilot is expected to be one year, starting October 2028, with a one-year option.
NASA anticipates multiple initial firm fixed price awards with progressive down-selections based on demonstrated performance, technical credibility, and commercial viability.
Contractors must have valid ITAR export clearance to access controlled technical data. The solicitation is for full and open competition, with no foreign offerors permitted.
A final solicitation industry day walk-through is expected to occur on or around May 13, 2026.

Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition
AI helper
This document is a justification for other than full and open competition for the maintenance, sustainment, upgrade, and replacement of Search and Rescue (SAR) systems, hardware, software, and technologies for NASA's SAR Lab Ground Systems. The contract is intended to be a sole-source follow-on with Technosciences, LLC (TSI) due to their unique knowledge and expertise as the proprietary vendor responsible for the original installation and ongoing maintenance of GSFC's SAR Lab infrastructure. TSI's proprietary software is critical for operational SAR support, anomaly resolution, and future research and development activities, as it is shared with partner agencies like NOAA, USCG, and USAF. Any alternative solution would incur undue cost, schedule, and operational constraints. Market research confirmed that no other commercial company possesses the necessary data and technical rights to the existing hardware and software. A notice of intent to award this sole-source contract was published on SAM. gov on May 21, 2025, closing on June 5, 2025. Two companies, BGIN Howard Private Equity (BHPE) and Oready LLC, expressed interest, but neither demonstrated the capability to perform the required services or provide a viable alternative solution. The contracting officer has determined that the anticipated cost to the government will be fair and reasonable, subject to proposal evaluation and negotiation.
The bid notice states that the award will be based on a firm-fixed-price indefinite-delivery indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract with a five-year ordering period. The contracting officer will determine that the anticipated cost to the government will be fair and reasonable, and a proposal analysis will be performed to ensure the final agreed-to price is fair and reasonable. Proposed costs will be evaluated to determine that direct labor rates, direct labor hours, skill mix, other direct costs, indirect costs, and profits are fair and reasonable.
The bid notice states that Technosciences, LLC (TSI) possesses unique knowledge and expertise as the proprietary vendor responsible for the original installation of GSFC's SAR Lab hardware and software, as well as continual maintenance of proprietary and company-specific geolut and meolut infrastructure. TSI is the current awardee for the GSFC meolut SOGSFCZOCL sustainment and maintenance contract, as well as the prior iteration NNG LSVI OOC, responsible for the continual upkeep of unique and specialized ground station equipment and software. This includes the TSI proprietary software used for beacon geolocating/reporting representative of operational SARSAT meoluts and geoluts.
The notice of intent to award this sole-source action was posted on SAM. gov on May 21, 2025, and closed on June 5, 2025.
