About this award
NASA Marshall Space Flight Center issued a $1.633 billion delivery order to The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory LLC on March 4, 2022, for the Dragonfly Extended Phase B mission under the Aerospace Research, Development and Engineering Support (ARDES) II indefinite delivery contract 80MSFC20D0004, with performance extending through August 31, 2028.
ARDES II is a NASA Marshall Space Flight Center vehicle supporting aerospace research, development, and engineering across civil space missions. Place of performance is Laurel, Maryland, where APL maintains its primary facility, with subordinate operational locations at secondary sites as required by mission scope.
The Dragonfly Extended Phase B mission delivers advanced systems engineering, research and development, and prototype development for an interplanetary exploration program. Work encompasses flight hardware, materials, parts, equipment, services, and software integration across multiple technical domains. The ceiling value is $1.633 billion, reflecting the scope and complexity of extended mission-phase system development.
APL, a federally funded research and development center, operates as a not-for-profit subsidiary of Johns Hopkins University headquartered in Laurel, Maryland. The company competes exclusively on full-and-open basis with no set-aside participation and delivers mission-critical systems engineering and research support across defense and civilian federal agencies.
Subcontracting extends across approximately 50 named suppliers including Glenair (aerospace-grade electrical connectors and interconnect assemblies), Sierra Space Corp (hardware and aerospace support), Lockheed Martin (spacecraft integration and flight system engineering), Dytran Instruments (precision accelerometers and sensors), Thales Components Corp (electronic components and hardware), Exxact Corporation (high-performance computing hardware), Advanced Cooling Technologies (thermal management systems), Boye Engineering (aerospace engineering services), Container Research Corp (aerospace components and services), and additional specialists in optics, materials science, machining, electronics, and systems integration.
Service Contract Inventory reporting captures $73.8 million (FY2022), $201.3 million (FY2023), $289.8 million (FY2024), and $349.2 million (FY2025) in government-invoiced labor across 166 to 572 FTEs annually. Derived government-paid hourly rates average $213–$254 per hour across the reported fiscal years. APL self-performed substantially all reported hours; subcontractor labor was minimal in FY2025.
