About this award
The Space and Missile Systems Center, a defense-focused agency, awarded a delivery order valued at $86.8M to Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (SpaceX) on June 15, 2023, under the National Security Space Launch Phase 2 program. This firm fixed-price delivery order addresses launch schedule adjustments and adds postponement fees to SpaceX's existing NSSL Phase 2 contract. The work is performed in Hawthorne, California, with an ultimate completion date of August 30, 2026. No small business set-aside was applied to this award, reflecting SpaceX's specialized competitive capabilities in national security space launch services. The NSSL Phase 2 program represents a critical component of the Department of Defense's assured access to space strategy, leveraging SpaceX's Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy launch systems to deploy national security and intelligence payloads into orbit.
This delivery order is issued under the broader National Security Space Launch Phase 2 indefinite delivery vehicle established with the Space and Missile Systems Center, which is part of the Air Force Space Command's portfolio of launch services contracts. SpaceX maintains significant federal presence across multiple space-related programs, including the $11.8B National Security Space Launch Phase 3 Lane 2 contract and substantial satellite broadband connectivity agreements through its Starlink constellation. The schedule adjustment and postponement fee modifications reflected in this delivery order demonstrate the dynamic nature of national security space launch operations and the government's reliance on SpaceX's flexible launch infrastructure to support mission requirements across the defense and intelligence communities.
