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 NASA logistics agreements run through GSA's OASIS+ vehicle, with a five-year base ordering period open through Sept. 30, 2031.
