From the notice

NASA’s strategic objectives include stimulating the growth of human spaceflight commercial activities while leveraging those same commercial capabilities to deliver mission capabilities. The Next Space Technologies for Exploration Partnerships-3 (NextSTEP-3) Omnibus is a mechanism to support future NASA Broad Agency Announcements (BAA) for contracting with industry to develop deep space exploration capabilities. It is an update to the NextSTEP-2 Omnibus that was released in 2016 and that supported NASA’s issuance of 17 solicitations as NextSTEP-2 BAA Appendices from 2016 through 2024. NASA expects to issue individual NextSTEP-3 BAA Appendices periodically as needed to perform studies and conduct research and technology development and demonstrations that enable long-term human presence and exploration throughout the solar system, in accordance with NASA’s Moon to Mars exploration strategy, objectives, and architecture (https://www.nasa.gov/humans-in-space/nasa-details-strategy-behind-blueprint-for-moon-to-mars-exploration). The NextSTEP-3 Omnibus is effective for five years, through September 26, 2029. Contracts awarded through NextSTEP-3 BAA Appendices may continue to execute beyond the effectivity of this Omnibus. This Omnibus document is not a solicitation. Focused research areas will be announced by issuing solicitations in the form of NextSTEP-3 BAA Appendices.
