This is a federal contract award from NASA to Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) for the LUCY space probe mission. The $171,359,821 cost-plus-fixed-fee contract supports SwRI's work to tour five Jupiter Trojans and one main belt asteroid through fly-by encounters. The contract does not have a set-aside designation, indicating SwRI's strong capability to compete for open federal awards. SwRI has involved several subcontractors, including Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, Planetary Science Institute, and various small businesses, to provide specialized expertise and supplies for the mission. As an independent, nonprofit research organization, SwRI has a long history of supporting NASA's space science initiatives through both prime and subcontract arrangements.
