Scope
NASA’s strategic objectives include stimulating the growth of human spaceflight commercial activities while leveraging those same commercial capabilities to deliver mission capabilities.
The Next Space Technologies for Exploration Partnerships-3 (NextSTEP-3) Omnibus is a mechanism to support future NASA Broad Agency Announcements (BAA) for contracting with industry to develop deep space exploration capabilities.
It is an update to the NextSTEP-2 Omnibus that was released in 2016 and that supported NASA’s issuance of 17 solicitations as NextSTEP-2 BAA Appendices from 2016 through 2024.
NASA expects to issue individual NextSTEP-3 BAA Appendices periodically as needed to perform studies and conduct research and technology development and demonstrations that enable long-term human presence and exploration throughout the solar system, in accordance with NASA’s Moon to Mars exploration strategy, objectives, and architecture (https://www.nasa.gov/humans-in-space/nasa-details-strategy-behind-blueprint-for-moon-to-mars-exploration).
The NextSTEP-3 Omnibus is effective for five years, through September 26, 2029.
Contracts awarded through NextSTEP-3 BAA Appendices may continue to execute beyond the effectivity of this Omnibus.
This Omnibus document is not a solicitation.
Focused research areas will be announced by issuing solicitations in the form of NextSTEP-3 BAA Appendices.
Detailed information about Offeror eligibility, proposal submission requirements, proposal evaluation criteria, and additional administrative matters will be identified in BAA Appendices.

How to bid on this
This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.
- Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
- Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
- This listing has no set-aside restriction ("full and open competition"), meaning any business, large or small, can bid.
- Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
