Non-dilutive R&D lead from NASA; eligibility, timing, and fit require current official verification.
No application or relationship exists. This record does not establish eligibility, availability, funding, recommendation, provider interest, or authorization to apply.
Provider
NASA
Kind
Non-dilutive R&D
Status
active; appendix-based
Timing
Active program-year 2026 BAA released April 17, 2026 and valid through September 30, 2027; initial appendices were released April 21, 2026 and additional appendices are to be announced.
Eligibility
Each appendix and the BAA govern proposer, technology, and submission eligibility. NASA describes SBIR and STTR Phase I subtopics released through separate appendices, with proposal limits reset for each appendix.
Access notes
The BAA validity date is not a blanket proposal deadline. A company must match a current appendix and NASA mission need and comply with that appendix's own instructions and dates.

Relationship
indexed only; no formal relationship
Potential fit and evidence boundary
Defined technologies with NASA mission value
Evidence boundary: Official NASA program-year hub reviewed. It establishes the BAA transition, release dates, validity period, and phased appendices, but does not establish an applicable open subtopic, GShips eligibility, or an award.
Task-specific matches
No bounded task match is recorded.
Proposed founder action—not undertaken
Monitor released appendices for a narrow assurance, closed-loop, maintenance, materials, or autonomy subtopic; prepare a traceable NASA-mission-value case before seeking authorization to apply.
Conflicts and change triggers
Conflicts: Federal procurement, data-rights, export-control, security, and dual-use conditions vary by appendix and require legal and technical review.
What would change this record? A new appendix, amended BAA, relevant subtopic deadline, or confirmed entity and technology eligibility would materially change priority.
