About this award
The Space and Missile Systems Center awarded a firm fixed-price definitive contract to Blue Origin, LLC for Blue Origin capabilities for rocket cargo on August 1, 2025, with a $13.07 million ceiling value and no set-aside used. Place of performance is Merritt Island, FL 32953, and the ultimate completion date is October 29, 2027. Blue Origin holds no SBA set-aside designations.
The award traces to a Special Notice posted June 4, 2021, by the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory for the Rocket Experimentation for Global Agile Logistics (REGAL) program. REGAL explores commercially advertised rocket launch systems for point-to-point transport of Department of Defense cargo anywhere in the world in under one hour through potential service contracts. The notice covers two Calls: Call 001 for point-to-point transportation capability and operational demonstrations, and Call 002 for point-to-point rocket demonstrations. The associated Advanced Research Announcement does not itself solicit proposals; it instructs contractors to monitor future Calls issued before the July 1, 2027 closing date. Awards of up to $20 million each are expected for logistics demonstrations, operational experimentation, and special purpose experimentation using commercial rocket capabilities.
