NASA Adds Four Firms to Spacecraft Processing Contract On‑Ramp

Overview

• NASA selected All Points Logistics, Blue Origin, Firefly Aerospace, and L3Harris for the Spacecraft Processing Operations Contract on‑ramp, formally adding them to the pool of providers that can receive task orders.
• The contract is a multiple‑award, firm‑fixed‑price IDIQ with a shared aggregate ceiling of $100 million and an ordering period through Feb. 1, 2033; that figure is a cap not a guaranteed payment to the winners.
• Kennedy Space Center’s Launch Services Program will manage task orders and will request services only as missions need prelaunch processing at specific launch locations.
• NASA did not disclose individual task‑order values or which missions each firm will support, and reporting noted that some awardees already have existing ties to the agency such as Firefly’s recent CLPS lunar work and L3Harris’s supplier roles.
• The award can broaden options for universities and science teams that need local payload processing and could speed launch-site readiness, but actual work and revenue will depend on future task orders and mission scheduling.
