About this award
The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory LLC (APL) received a $17,377 cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order contract from NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center on September 27, 2024, for the Helioswarm SRB RF Communications Project. The work will be performed in Laurel, Maryland, with completion targeted for June 30, 2026. This delivery order was issued under one of APL's existing Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicles, enabling rapid procurement of specialized technical services. The contract was not set aside for any specific business category.
APL, a not-for-profit research center affiliated with Johns Hopkins University, is well-positioned to support this space science initiative given its extensive experience in advanced technical solutions for federal agencies across defense and scientific domains. The modest contract value reflects the specific scope of work related to radio frequency communications systems for the Helioswarm mission, which is a NASA-led multi-satellite project designed to study solar magnetic reconnection and improve understanding of space weather phenomena. As a child entity of Johns Hopkins University and a frequent prime contractor on complex federal projects, APL brings sophisticated engineering and research capabilities to support NASA's space exploration and scientific research objectives.
