[729efd75b6434fd6bcbe1f19cafcb4d2] Network Extension for User Continuity and Sustainability (NEXUS) Ka-Band Backward-Compatible Relay Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) NextSTEP-3 Appendix E - Final Solicitation

  • Source: sam.gov
  • Agency: NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION.NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION.NASA MARSHALL SPACE FLIGHT CENTER
  • Posted: 2026-06-04 · Deadline: 2026-07-07T10:00:00-05:00
  • URL: https://sam.gov/workspace/contract/opp/729efd75b6434fd6bcbe1f19cafcb4d2/view
  • Relevance: 6/10 · FFRDC: yes · Cost share: unclear · Foreign entity: unclear
  • Lexical hits: Broad Agency Announcement, BAA, NAICS:541715 (score 8.0)
  • Themes: Spacecraft power system architecture, Avionics hardware, Mixed-signal electronics
  • Fit: The NEXUS BAA focuses on Ka-band relay infrastructure for space communications. While primarily a communications and networking solicitation, the power systems required to support these relay payloads and the associated avionics integration fall within the scope of Section 345's expertise in spacecraft power and electronics.
  • Eligibility quote: > NASA Centers, including JPL, are eligible to propose to this BAA as part of a team or as a prime, provided they comply with the specific requirements set forth in the NextSTEP-3 Appendix E solicitation.

[7414f75ca49a408d95d8c230b4ff2127] Expeditionary Power- and Energy-Dense Implementations (ExPEDitions)

  • Source: sam.gov
  • Agency: DEPT OF DEFENSE.DEFENSE ADVANCED RESEARCH PROJECTS AGENCY (DARPA).DEF ADVANCED RESEARCH PROJECTS AGCY
  • Posted: 2026-06-05 · Deadline: 2026-08-19T16:00:00
  • URL: https://sam.gov/workspace/contract/opp/7414f75ca49a408d95d8c230b4ff2127/view
  • Relevance: 8/10 · FFRDC: yes · Cost share: unclear · Foreign entity: restricted
  • Lexical hits: power, energy, NAICS:541715 (score 6.0)
  • Themes: Power electronics, Electrochemical energy storage, Spacecraft power system architecture
  • Fit: The ExPEDitions program focuses on high-density power and energy systems, which aligns with JPL's expertise in advanced power electronics and energy storage. While the focus is expeditionary (terrestrial/defense), the underlying technology requirements for high-density, high-reliability power systems are directly applicable to spacecraft power architectures.
  • Eligibility quote: > All responsible sources capable of satisfying the Government's needs may submit a proposal that shall be considered by DARPA. Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs) are eligible to propose as a prime or team member.
