The award, announced February 21, 2019, with an ultimate completion date of November 23, 2023, supports critical national security space launch operations. This contract represents a core element of ULA's mission to provide integrated launch vehicle services, including assembly, testing, and launch operations for Department of Defense and intelligence community payloads destined for low Earth and geosynchronous orbits. The contract was competitively awarded without set-aside designations, reflecting ULA's established competitive position in federal space launch procurement.
