About this award
The Center for the Advancement of Science in Space, Inc. (CASIS) was awarded a cooperative agreement valued at $127.0 million by a civilian federal agency through its Shared Services Center to manage the International Space Station (ISS) National Laboratory through September 30, 2030. This award, made on February 4, 2026, supports CASIS's mission to maximize the value of the U.S. government's substantial investment in the ISS and demonstrate the scientific and technological productivity of the orbital facility over the next decade. The cooperative agreement structure enables collaborative partnership between the government and CASIS to advance research and development initiatives leveraging the unique microgravity environment and capabilities of the ISS.
The contract is performance-based at the Merritt Island, Florida location and represents a continuation of CASIS's role as the designated manager of the ISS National Laboratory. Under this agreement, CASIS will be responsible for identifying research opportunities, facilitating user access to ISS resources, promoting commercial partnerships, and documenting scientific outcomes that demonstrate the platform's value to the scientific community, industry, and the nation's technological advancement. The absence of a set-aside designation indicates this opportunity was competed on an unrestricted basis.
