About this award
Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) issued a delivery order to the California Institute of Technology on July 1, 2026, for Microwave Limb Sounder mission operations, with a ceiling value of $6.13 million under a cost-plus-fixed-fee structure.
This delivery order is issued under one of JPL's three parent NASA indefinite delivery contracts and covers mission operations support for the MLS instrument, with ultimate completion on March 31, 2028. Place of performance is Pasadena, California. No set-aside applies to this order.
JPL operates exclusively as a prime contractor on cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery orders flowing through internal NASA IDIQs; it does not function as a subcontractor or pursue work through GWACs or multiple-award schedules. The laboratory's federal portfolio is concentrated within NASA (95 percent of awards by count, $117.09 billion of combined potential value), reflecting its statutory role as NASA's primary federally funded research and development center for space missions. The Service Contract Inventory does not capture JPL's work, as its delivery-order-based spacecraft, instrumentation, and research infrastructure activities fall outside the SCI reporting threshold and structure.
