NASA has chosen four companies to offer payload processing services under the Spacecraft Processing Operations Contract on‑ramp provision, according to the latest updates. This provision allows capable providers to offer commercial services for agency missions launching from various locations where such capabilities were not available when the initial contract was awarded. The contract awardees are All Points Logistics LLC, Blue Origin LLC, Firefly Aerospace, and L3Harris Technologies Inc.
Under this contract, NASA procures the required facilities and services to perform prelaunch processing of spacecraft and associated rocket hardware destined for the launch pad. The contract is a multiple-award, commercial, firm-fixed-price, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract vehicle with an aggregate ceiling price of $100 million and an ordering period extending until Feb.
