    NASA's Notice of Availability (NOA) seeks industry interest for the development of approximately 2,865 acres of non-excess, underutilized land at the John C. Stennis Space Center (SSC) in Mississippi. The primary objective is to identify public and private entities interested in leasing the land to enhance commercial access to space, diversify operations, and strengthen U.S. competitiveness in aerospace industries. NASA emphasizes development that aligns with its strategic goals and sustainability practices; thus, certain uses, such as residential housing and incompatible operations, will not be considered. Interested parties must submit responses electronically, outlining their operational concepts and organizational details, which will be evaluated for potential agreements. NASA clarifies that it bears no costs associated with land development and that respondents are responsible for compliance with environmental regulations. The NOA remains open for 15 days, after which NASA may issue an Announcement for Proposals (AFP) based on received responses, retaining the right to accept or reject proposals at its discretion. This initiative reflects NASA's broader aims of fostering partnerships that enhance space and aerospace capabilities.
