About this award

Written by GovTribe AI ·

Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (SpaceX) received a definitive firm fixed-price contract award from the Air Force Research Laboratory valued at $1.75 million for Rocket Cargo Concept of Operations capability testing. The award, made on December 7, 2020, with an ultimate completion date of December 31, 2025, derives from a broad Broad Agency Announcement solicitation issued by the Air Force Research Laboratory Rocket Propulsion Division to advance rocket propulsion technologies. The contract carries no set-aside designation and will be performed at SpaceX's facility in Hawthorne, California. The work supports the Air Force's strategic objectives in developing advanced propulsion capabilities and rapid launch technologies, contributing to the broader government emphasis on assured access to space and responsive launch capabilities.

This contract award reflects SpaceX's established role as a critical prime contractor to the Department of Defense for space and launch operations. The company maintains multiple substantial indefinite delivery vehicles with federal agencies, including an $11.8 billion National Security Space Launch Phase 3 contract with Space Systems Command and a $13 billion Proliferated Low Earth Orbit Satellite-Based Services contract with the Defense Information Systems Agency. The Rocket Cargo capability testing effort aligns with the government's investment in innovative propulsion research and development to support both national security and tactical missile applications across multiple domains.
