About this award
Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (SpaceX) was awarded a delivery order valued at $159.5 million on August 19, 2023, under the National Security Space Launch (NSSL) Phase 2 program. This firm fixed-price delivery order, issued by the Space and Missile Systems Center under the Department of Defense, supports the federal government's assured access to space for critical national security payloads. The contract encompasses launch services utilizing SpaceX's Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy rocket systems to deploy intelligence and defense-related satellites into orbit. The performance location is SpaceX's headquarters in Hawthorne, California, and no small business set-aside designation was applied to this award, consistent with SpaceX's status as the sole provider of certain advanced launch capabilities.
This delivery order represents one component of SpaceX's extensive role in the federal space launch enterprise. The company maintains multiple major indefinite delivery vehicles totaling tens of billions of dollars across the Department of Defense and NASA, including an $11.8 billion National Security Space Launch Phase 3 contract and a $13 billion Proliferated Low Earth Orbit Satellite-Based Services agreement. SpaceX's NSSL Phase 2 and Phase 3 programs are critical to the Department of Defense's strategy of maintaining responsive, assured access to space for national security missions, with the company serving as a primary launch provider for both classified and unclassified government payloads.
