About this agency
The Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a civilian sub-agency of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, procures research, development, and mission-support services for NASA's robotic space exploration programs. JPL operates as a federally funded research and development center and administers contracts for spacecraft design, planetary science missions, launch systems, and ground operations worldwide, with administrative oversight at its Pasadena, California facility.
JPL has awarded 3,320 federal contracts since 1998 totaling $64.26 billion in combined potential value, with $54.49 billion obligated to date. Recent activity shows 40 awards in 2022, 43 in 2023, 37 in 2024, 52 in 2025, and 49 year-to-date in 2026. The most recent award closed on October 19, 2026. The agency transacts with 147 distinct prime contractors across its portfolio history.
The competitive landscape is highly fragmented. Over the last five years, the top five primes by award count represent 100 percent of recent awards but account for only 4 percent of combined potential value, indicating a long tail of substantial single or limited awards. California Institute of Technology dominates by both count and value, with 219 awards totaling $2.12 billion in combined potential value over the last five years. Instituto Nacional De Tecnica Aeroespacial Esteban Terradas MDE holds the second-largest by-value position at $140.1 million across a single award. Seventh Sense, LLC and Tetra Tech, Inc. each hold four and one awards respectively, while the remaining 142 contractors in the all-time portfolio carry the majority of the award base. Many of JPL's awards are below-threshold or transacted through JPL's internal contracting mechanisms, limiting the visibility of combined potential value across the broader contractor base.
Set-aside activity is minimal. Ninety-three percent of awards carry no set-aside designation. Small Business set-asides account for 6 percent of awards, and Competitive 8(a) represents less than 1 percent.
No recent federal contract opportunities are currently recorded against JPL. Firms pursuing JPL work should monitor JPL's contracting office directly and track NASA-wide solicitations through SAM.gov and NASA's acquisition portal; JPL opportunities typically flow through NASA contracting vehicles rather than standalone JPL solicitations.
