About this award
NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center issued a delivery order to The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory LLC on January 21, 2022, under the ARDES II (Aerospace Research, Development and Engineering Support) Indefinite Delivery Contract 80MSFC20D0004, with a ceiling value of $31.696 million for wideband terminal flight demonstration.
ARDES II is a cost-plus-fixed-fee indefinite delivery contract supporting advanced systems engineering, research and development, and prototype development across NASA and other federal agencies. Place of performance is Laurel, Maryland, with ultimate completion September 30, 2027.
APL has invoiced $23 million across fiscal years 2022–2025, declining from $11.7 million in FY2023 to $3 million in FY2025 as the program matured and labor footprint contracted. The FY2025 labor base consisted of 3.4 FTEs, with all work self-performed by the prime; no subcontractors were reported in FY2025. Derived government-paid hourly rates ranged from $217.62 in FY2022 to $286.66 in FY2023, settling to $249.97 in FY2024 before the FY2025 reporting period.
Subcontractors engaged on discrete technical tasks include York Space Systems LLC (materials), Boeing Commercial Satellite Services (GEO relay and materials support), SSC Space US Inc. (services and satellite communications), SES SD Mission Partners, Inc. (materials), and SES Space & Defense, Inc. (senior engineering manpower). APL's teaming posture reflects its model of internal capability delivery with specialized subs on narrow technical work rather than broad system integration.
