The agency said Thursday it will place firm-fixed-price task orders through the Venture-Class Acquisition of Dedicated and Rideshare contract over five years.
NASA’s VADR program follows the Venture Class Launch Services and VCLS Demonstration 2 procurement efforts announced in 2015 and 2020, respectively.
The new acquisition vehicle contains a provision for incumbents and other vendors not selected for the existing contract to participate in a future on-ramp process to propose new launch service offerings.
The VADR awardees are:
ABL Space Systems Astra Space Blue Origin L2 Solutions Northrop Grumman (NYSE: NOC) Phantom Space Relativity Space Rocket Lab Spaceflight SpaceX United Launch Services Virgin Orbit Firefly Aerospace The combined capabilities of Detroit Defense and Athenix will support operations in complex and contested environments.
