About this award
Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (SpaceX) has been awarded a delivery order valued at approximately $163 million under the National Security Space Launch Phase 3 Lane 1 (NSSL P3L1) program, with an ultimate completion date of October 31, 2027. This firm fixed-price contract, awarded on December 8, 2025, represents a task order for launch services to support the Space Development Agency's SDA-3 mission. The award carries no small business set-aside designation and is funded by the U.S. Air Force, with performance to occur at SpaceX's headquarters in Hawthorne, California. This delivery order leverages SpaceX's existing $5.6 billion NSSL P3L1 indefinite delivery vehicle, which was originally awarded in June 2024 and extends through June 2029, providing flexible procurement authority for national security space launch services using the company's Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy rocket systems.
This contract award reflects SpaceX's critical role in the federal government's national security space architecture. As a leading provider of assured space access, SpaceX maintains multiple large-value indefinite delivery vehicles across the Department of Defense and NASA, including an $11.8 billion NSSL Phase 3 Lane 2 vehicle and a $13 billion Proliferated Low Earth Orbit Satellite-Based Services vehicle for the Defense Information Systems Agency. The SDA-3 launch task order continues SpaceX's ongoing mission to deploy national security payloads to orbit and supports the Space Development Agency's objectives to establish resilient, disaggregated space architectures for military operations.
