Required question 1 (exact ID: question-1) Does the official source support the opportunity identity, status, timing, eligibility, and access constraints?
Required question 2 (exact ID: question-2) Is the proposed fit specific and proportionate without implying availability, invitation, selection, or funding?
Required question 3 (exact ID: question-3) What deadline, rule, jurisdiction, cost, conflict, or accessibility fact would change the proposed next action?
Explicit exclusions
Review does not submit, register, apply, contact, commit, purchase, or establish eligibility.
Provider prestige and apparent fit cannot replace current official terms.
Frozen-evidence decision window: 30 days from the packet freeze. Not applicable to this packet family.
Complete primary record set
Every record below has one primary packet owner. Decisions must bind to the exact record and packet fingerprints; a changed lesson body, evidence grade, citation, locator, source snapshot, requirement, policy, release, or commit expires the old packet.
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.
Fit
Defined technologies with NASA mission value
Status
active; appendix-based
Verified At
2026-07-25
Current Until
2026-08-01
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.
Founder Action
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.
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.
Relationship
indexed only; no formal relationship
Action Status
proposed; not undertaken
Conflicts
Federal procurement, data-rights, export-control, security, and dual-use conditions vary by appendix and require legal and technical review.
What Would Change
A new appendix, amended BAA, relevant subtopic deadline, or confirmed entity and technology eligibility would materially change priority.
Source inclusion does not determine the disposition. Reviewers must inspect the cited locator and relation, note inaccessible material, and identify stronger or conflicting evidence.
Sources, verification dates, scope notes, and exact fingerprints
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.
Downloads contain no reviewer contact details. Downloading does not create an account or store a review response in the GShips application. Ordinary provider request or analytics logs may record the download request. Work locally: the public site has no review account, upload endpoint, or decision-submission API.
Do not paste a completed decision, identity documents, private contact data, confidential conflict evidence, medical information, controlled material, or exploit details into a public form. Until a separately authorized private handoff exists, retain the completed worksheet locally.
Add another --decision for each independent reviewer.
Interpret the result narrowly. A zero exit proves structural consistency only. Neither command appoints or qualifies a reviewer, establishes independence, accepts a decision, or authorizes publication.
Every primary record must receive the required number of valid, current-fingerprint approvals; every complementary scope group and required domain must be covered; any unresolved revise, contest, or reject disposition blocks publication.
Named medical, reproductive, nuclear, radiation, cybersecurity, governance, and dual-use conclusions require two distinct qualified independent humans covering complementary domain-method and rights/public-interest scopes.
Reviewer identity, qualification, independence, conflicts, and compensation must be assessed by accountable human governance; local validation can only report structural validity.
Approve, revise, contest, reject, and recuse remain visible. A negative finding cannot be hidden by an aggregate approval percentage.
Revision creates a new record and packet fingerprint. Prior approvals do not carry forward automatically.
AI may assist with clerical comparison but cannot count as an independent reviewer, identity attestor, appeal authority, or second person.

Assumptions and limits
The exact packet, record, source, policy, release, and source-commit fingerprints bound this prepared page; human review has not started.
Downloading, local structural validation, or completing notes does not appoint or qualify a reviewer, establish independence, accept a decision, authorize publication, or create a relationship.
What would change this page?
Staffed governance, appointed qualified reviewers, completed record-level decisions, published conflicts, minority findings, corrections, or changed review policy would change this page.
