NASA SBIR/STTR FY 2026-2027 Broad Agency Announcement (BAA)

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has issued pre-solicitation notice 80NSSC26R0003 for the FY 2026-2027 SBIR/STTR Broad Agency Announcement (BAA). This BAA establishes the framework for procuring research and development activities from small businesses under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR), SBIR Ignite, and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs for Phase I and Phase II projects. The solicitation is classified under NAICS 541715 for Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (except Nanotechnology and Biotechnology) and PSC AJ11 for General Science and Technology R&D Services; General Science and Technology; Basic Research. This opportunity is designated with a SBA (SBA) set-aside.

The program intends to release two to three appendices per fiscal year throughout the effective period of the BAA, which has an established response deadline of September 30, 2027. Each appendix will contain specific funding opportunities, including technical subtopics and instructions for submitting proposal packages. While the master BAA document outlines general objectives, eligibility criteria, funding information, and preparation instructions, the specific requirements detailed in individual appendices will take precedence for their respective opportunities.

Administrative oversight for this procurement is managed by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration with Kenneth E. Albright serving as the point of contact. The solicitation includes three attachments: an SF30 modification, the primary BAA document, and a link to program-specific Phase I information. This transition to a BAA format allows NASA to solicit proposals for various research and technology needs as they arise through the 2026 and 2027 fiscal years.
