## Description

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.
