Description
SOURCES SOUGHT SPECIAL NOTICE 2026 NASA Ames Research Center (ARC) is seeking partners interested in developing competitive proposals in response to NASA Announcements of Opportunity (AOs), Broad Agency Announcements (BAAs), Missions of Opportunity (MoOs) and proposal calls from other government agencies. ARC is interested in identifying potential partners that can perform science investigations, conduct research activities, and develop and demonstrate new technologies that are aligned with NASA�s goals. Information is also sought regarding partners that, in addition to performing substantial research, can provide flight hardware (i.e., spacecraft, deployment systems, suborbital systems, ground support systems, equipment, or instrumentation) necessary to implement proposed science investigations, research activities, or technology demonstration missions. NASA often competitively selects scientific investigations, technology development, and demonstration missions through solicitations or announcements posted on NSPIRES https://nspires.nasaprs.com/external. These missions are typically led by a single Principal Investigator (PI), Principal Technologist (PT), or Project Manager (PM). The PI, PT, or PM may be from Government or non-Government institutions, including academic institutions, industry, nonprofit entities, one of NASA�s nine field Centers, NASA�s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), other federally funded research and development centers, or other U.S. Government
