SAM #26-01-PS70

NASA Marshall Space Flight Center is seeking industry input on commercial lunar transportation solutions to support a permanent, continuously crewed U.S. lunar base as part of the Artemis program. - Government Buyer: - National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) - Marshall Space Flight Center - OEMs and Vendors: - No specific OEMs or vendors are named in the opportunity - Products/Services Requested: - Concepts and information for commercial lunar transportation solutions - Capabilities to support sustained lunar base buildup, logistics resupply, and crew rotation - Emphasis on rapid, resilient, commercially provided space infrastructure - Solutions must be interoperable with current and future Artemis architecture elements - Unique/Notable Requirements: - Focus on enabling a permanent, continuously crewed lunar base - Seeking innovative commercial partnership models and new industry entrants - No specific products, part numbers, or quantities are specified at this stage

THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL. NO PROPOSALS ARE TO BE SUBMITTED IN RESPONSE TO THIS NOTICE.

NASA is seeking information from established commercial providers and new industry entrants to help shape a future acquisition strategy for Artemis Commercial Lunar Transportation Solutions that deliver the human cadence required to establish and sustain a permanent lunar base.

This RFI is aligned with the Executive Order “Ensuring American Space Superiority” (December 2025), which directs the United States to:

• Establish a permanent, continuously crewed U.S. lunar base • Leverage rapid, resilient, commercially provided space infrastructure to maintain U.S. leadership in the cislunar domain

Consistent with the EO’s call for accelerated human mission cadence, high tempo space operations, commercial partnership, and reliable interoperability with current and future elements of the Artemis architecture, NASA is seeking transportation concepts capable of supporting the sustained buildup, logistics resupply, and crew rotation tempo required for lunar base operations.  Additional Information is found within the attached RFI No:26-01-PS70.
