The Monte Carlo replica technique is used to study phase transitions and the thermodynamic and critical properties of the three-dimensional Heisenberg antiferromagnetic model on the body-centered cubic lattice with the inclusion of the interaction of the nearest and the next-nearest neighbors. The studies are performed for the proportions of the values of the exchange interactions of the nearest and the next-nearest neighbors in the range of values of k [0.0, 0.6]. The phase transition character is analyzed based on the histogram method. The overall set of static critical indices is calculated in terms of the theory of the finite-dimensional scaling. It is shown that the class of the critical behavior universality of this model is conserved in the above range of values of k.
