RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES IN SPACE AND EARTH SCIENCES (ROSES) 2025

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Science Mission Directorate (SMD) announces that its annual NASA Research Announcement (NRA), Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) – 2025 will be released on or about July 10, 2025. ROSES is an omnibus solicitation with many individual program elements, each with its own due dates and topics. Table 2 and Table 3 of this NRA, which will be posted at https://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2025table2 and https://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2025table3, respectively, provide proposal due dates and hypertext links to descriptions of the solicited program elements of this NRA. Together, these program elements cover the wide range of basic and applied supporting research and technology in space and Earth sciences supported by SMD. The ROSES NRA is written to allow program elements to issue awards to non-governmental organizations as grants, cooperative agreements, or contracts depending on the nature of the work proposed. However, at the time of release, all active program elements of ROSES specifically exclude contracts, because contracts would not be appropriate for the nature of the work solicited. Thus, unless otherwise specified by the program element, awards to non-governmental organizations deriving from ROSES will be federal assistance. Awards to government labs, including funded Co-Investigators on proposals non-governmental organizations, will be inter- or intra-agency transfers, as appropriate. Except for China (see Section III.c of the ROSES Summary of Solicitation), organizations of every type, domestic and foreign, government and private, for profit and not-for-profit, may submit proposals without restriction on teaming arrangements. However, not all organizations will receive funding; foreign organizations in general are not funded, see https://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/faqs/#faq-14. Also, Earth Science Division (i.e., Appendix A) program elements have a new eligibility restriction: Federal agencies other than NASA and FFRDCs other than JPL will not receive funding from Appendix A elements. Team members from government agencies other than NASA are welcome at no cost (as unfunded Co-Is or collaborators). Awards range from under $100K per year for focused, limited efforts (e.g., data analysis) to more than $1M per year for extensive activities (e.g., development of hardware for science experiments and/or flight). Periods of performance are typically three years, but some programs may allow up to five years and others specify shorter periods. The funds available and the anticipated number of awards are given in each program element and range from less than one to several million dollars, allowing for selection from a few to as many as several dozen proposals. Continued solicitation of proposals and issuance awards is contingent on appropriation of funding. Electronic submission of proposals is required by the respective due dates for each program element and must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization. Most program elements will be set up for application via Grants.gov only if requested at least 30 days in advance of the due date. For more on Grants.gov submissions see Section IV(b)v of the ROSES Summary of Solicitation, that may be found at https://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2025. Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to ROSES must be registered with NSPIRES; organizations that intend to submit proposals via Grants.gov must be registered with Grants.gov in addition to being registered with NSPIRES. Such registration must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who will submit the electronic proposal. All proposal team members must be registered in NSPIRES regardless of the submission system so we may perform automatic organizational conflict of interest checking of reviewers. Potential proposers and proposing organizations are urged to access the system(s) well in advance of the proposal due date(s) of interest to familiarize themselves with its structure and to enter the requested information. Notices of intent to propose and Step-1 Proposals will be due no earlier than August 11, 2025, and full (Step-2) Proposals will be due no earlier than September 8, and may be due as late as May 2026, at which time it is expected that the first full (Step-2) proposal due dates for ROSES-26 will begin. Potential proposers are strongly encouraged to read Section I(d) of the ROSES Summary of Solicitation and ROSES-25 FAQ#1 that list significant changes from recent ROSES. Compliant and responsive proposals are peer reviewed vs. the standard evaluation criteria defined in Section 12 of the NASA Grants and Cooperative Agreement Manual (GCAM) available on the Grants Policy web page at https://www.nasa.gov/grants-policy-and-compliance-team/#Regulations. ROSES clarifications, corrections and amendments occur over the course of the year; TBD program elements are finalized, and due dates released. To learn of the addition of new program elements and all amendments to this NRA, proposers may: (1) Subscribe to the SMD mailing lists (by logging in at http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ and checking the appropriate boxes under "Account Management" and "Email Subscriptions"). (2) Get automatic updates of due dates using the ROSES-2025 due date Google calendar, see How to Subscribe to the ROSES-2025 Due Date Calendars at https://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/library-and-useful-links; and (3) Check the ROSES-2025 Blog at https://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/grant-solicitations/roses-2025/ Frequently asked questions about ROSES-2025 will be posted at http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/faqs/ shortly after release. Questions concerning the individual program elements in ROSES should be directed to the point(s) of contact in the Summary Table of Key Information at the end of the program element and at http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/program-officers-list/.

We will not be able to provide a copy of any of the attached documents until the form DD 2345 has been approved. For more information regarding obtaining an approved DD 2345 see the website below: https://www.dla.mil/HQ/LogisticsOperations/Services/JCP/ FAR 5.207(a)(1)-(18): See RFP FA813425RB004. Description: The purpose of the N2CS ID/IQ is to procure sustainment and modernization services for mission communications systems aboard E-4B aircraft. This includes engineering, program management, field service representative support, specialized software sustainment and modernization, cybersecurity support, and facilities management support and expansion development of the System Integration Lab (SIL) necessary to perform the sustainment and modernization of the critical capabilities for the mission communication suite. The mission communication system's primary mission is to serve as the NAOC and is the key component of the National Military Command System (NMCS) for the President, the Secretary of Defense, and the Joint Chiefs of Staff. In case of a national emergency or destruction of ground command and control centers, the E-4B aircraft provides a highly survivable command and control communications center to direct United States Forces, execute emergency war orders, and coordinate action by civil authorities. Additionally, the E-4B provides outside the continental United States travel support for the Secretary of Defense and his staff to ensure Title 10 command and control connectivity; and it supports Federal Emergency Management Agency by providing communications and command center capability to relief efforts following natural disasters. The success of the E-4B mission is dependent on its ability to communicate effectively.

This Class J&A covers all contract actions including options and task orders for all CLINs. The ID/IQ will have a $500,000 minimum order amount, which will be met with the first order issued in conjunction with the basic contract award. A ten (10) year ordering period broken up into options that are based on three-year increments mirroring the anticipated pricing arrangements until the last year is in the Government's best interest to provide uninterrupted service.

This ID/IQ CLIN structure will include separately priced CLINS for intellectual property (IP) rights. All applicable data rights clauses will be contained within the base ID/IQ contract and each task order will identify the appropriate IP rights the contractor will grant and elver under the task order.

AFRL is interested in receiving white papers regarding nuclear-related research and development, including, but not limited to modeling and simulation of re-entry environments, materials characterization, nuclear explosion monitoring, and design, fabrication and experimentation of nuclear delivery. Dialogue between prospective Offerors and Government representatives is strongly encouraged. This solicitation intends to use the acquisition authority provided by 10 U.S.C. §4023. This authority applies to the acquisition of items related to “…ordnance, signal, chemical activity, transportation, energy, medical, spaceflight, and aeronautical supplies, including parts and accessories, and designs thereof, that are necessary for experimental or test purposes in the development of the best supplies that are needed for the national defense.” Consequently, white papers and proposals should address how the proposed effort provides benefits to the national defense relative to the parameters of this authority, and a strategy for verifying those intended benefits. *Please see the attached Neutron Star Industry User Guide for guidance on definitions, processes, submission requirements and evaluation criteria.* BACKGROUND: AFRL’s Geo Space Division (RVBN) positions AFRL to steward, develop, and deliver leading technologies to the warfighter and the nuclear enterprise to ensure the National defense. Thus, proposed solutions should be innovative and substantially improve national defense capabilities across the domains of national nuclear deterrence operations. While the Government describes discrete topic areas below, it also anticipates that certain comprehensive technology solutions and prototypes may require multidiscipline approaches that address two or more topic areas. The topic areas covered under this announcement may be used in any combination. The Government reserves the right to add, delete or modify the topic areas as necessary. Industry-Government Communication: Dialogue between prospective Offerors and Government representatives is strongly encouraged throughout the life of this ARA. However, communication shall be limited to the Contracting/Agreement Officer once full proposals are submitted for evaluation/review. Discussions should focus on understanding Government objectives and requirements, feasibility of prospective offeror approach, and prospective offeror prior similar efforts. Discussions shall not constitute a commitment by the Government to subsequently fund or award any proposed effort. No guidance related to technical approach will be given. Offerors are advised that only Contracting or Agreement Officers are legally authorized to contractually bind or otherwise commit the Government. ANNOUNCEMENT DETAILS: This is a HYBRID ANNOUNCEMENT. This announcement includes an open request for white papers as described below. Additionally, individual solicitations for white papers (Two-Step solicitation) and/or proposals (One-Step solicitation) related to discrete requirements may be issued. AFRL reserves the right to collapse a white paper (Two-Step solicitation) into a One-Step if the situation warrants and the white paper contains sufficient technical detail to do full technical proposal evaluation instead of white paper evaluation. Open Announcement Request: AFRL/RVBN is soliciting white papers on the research effort described in the below topic areas pursuant to the authority of 10 U.S.C. §4023, Procurement for Experimental Purposes. White papers submitted pursuant to the open announcement request follow the two-step procedures described below. White papers submitted under the open announcement request may be retained for 12 months. Open Announcement Submission: Unclassified White papers must be submitted to the Neutron Star Org Box at afrl.rvkb.afrlneutronstardms@us.af.mil. DO NOT DELIVER any classified portion of the white paper to this address. If it is determined that a classified white paper is required, please contact the Neutron STAR Org Mailbox for specific delivery instructions. Additional instructions for white paper submissions can be found in the Neutron STAR Industry User Guide attached to this announcement. Individual Solicitation Request: Individual Solicitations, except for Limited Solicitations, for white papers and proposals will be issued under this announcement via the Government Point of Entry (GPE) at https://sam.gov.

Individual Solicitation Submissions: Submission requirements for Individual Solicitations will be specified in the solicitation details of each Individual Solicitation. Individual Solicitation Variations: Variations of the ARA Individual Solicitation process are available for use. The following types are commonly used but are not considered all inclusive. One-Step: The one-step process is used to request full technical and cost proposals from each Offeror. The proposals are reviewed in accordance with the solicitation criteria and typically all, part, or none of a proposal may be selected for award. Two-Step: The two-step process is used to request white papers and Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) costs. The Individual Solicitation must state whether an unfavorable white paper review will bar the Offeror from further consideration. The Government may retain unselected white papers for a specific period, which will be identified in the individual solicitation. White papers submitted under the open announcement request may be retained for 12 months. Full proposals are requested from those Offerors selected in the white paper review process. After proposals are received, they are processed and reviewed in accordance with the One-Step process. Limited Individual Solicitations: This approach allows for solicitation to a limited group of potential offerors. Request for Proposals (RFP) or Requests for white papers will be issued directly to potential offerors without a requirement to publish to the GPE. The Government may issue solicitations that combine one or more of the above approaches. Announcement Modifications: Due to the dynamically evolving nature of US nuclear deterrent mission and warfighter needs, this announcement is subject to updates, revisions, or additional topic areas. Therefore, Offerors are highly encouraged to continually monitor https://sam.gov to ensure they receive the latest guidance for this announcement. The Government shall provide updates to this announcement no less than annually. Updates may include changes to topic areas, submission requirements, administrative changes, evaluation criteria, solicitation methods, etc. (not an inclusive list).
