About this award
NASA Goddard Space Center awarded a $4.82 billion definitive contract to Intuitive Machines, LLC for Near Space Network services covering GEO-to-CISLUNAR and XCISLUNAR direct-to-Earth communications relay on February 1, 2025, under firm fixed-price terms with no set-aside.
Performance extends through September 30, 2034, with place of performance in Houston, TX. The originating solicitation, posted April 29, 2022, sought Near Space Network services in subcategories 1.2 (GEO to CISLUNAR direct to Earth) and 1.3 (XCISLUNAR DTE). Service Contract Inventory reporting reflects minimal labor invoicing: 0.1 FTEs in FY2025 with self-performed hours and no subcontractor reporting, indicating the contract's economic footprint centers on hardware, payload operations, and systems integration rather than labor-hour services. The ceiling value of $4.82 billion positions this as a foundational asset for NASA's space communications infrastructure modernization, anchoring Intuitive Machines' portfolio of lunar and cislunar operations contracts with Goddard and Johnson Space Center.
