About this award
The California Institute of Technology's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) has received a delivery order contract valued at $1.35M from JPL to support lunar surface propagation research and development activities. Awarded on August 21, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of November 21, 2027, this cost-plus-fixed-fee contract represents continued investment in JPL's core competencies in space exploration and advanced technology development. The work will be performed at JPL's facility in Pasadena, California, and is not associated with any set-aside designation, indicating the award was based on technical merit and specialized capabilities.
As a federally funded research and development center operated by Caltech, JPL brings extensive expertise in spacecraft systems, propulsion technologies, and lunar mission support to this engagement. The lunar surface propagation work aligns with NASA's broader lunar exploration objectives and leverages JPL's track record in developing advanced engineering solutions for space missions. The contract utilizes a cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing structure, which is characteristic of complex research and development efforts where precise resource requirements cannot be fully predetermined, allowing for flexibility in resource allocation while maintaining cost controls through the fixed fee component.
