About this award
Butler Parachute Systems, Inc., a minority-owned, Hispanic American-owned small business based in Roanoke, Virginia, has been awarded a $93.6K firm fixed-price purchase order by NASA's Shared Services Center for the design and analysis of a high altitude parachute system capable of supporting large payloads. The contract, awarded December 17, 2024, with performance through August 15, 2025, responds to a total small business set-aside solicitation posted in September 2024. Under the "lowest price technically acceptable" evaluation criteria, Butler Parachute Systems will deliver design and analysis services for a parachute system meeting Brand Name or Equal To specifications, with two test articles required following a successful Critical Design Review and delivery to NASA's Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia.
This award leverages Butler Parachute Systems' extensive technical expertise in parachute system design and manufacturing for federal applications. The contractor currently maintains four significant Indefinite Delivery Contracts across the Department of Defense valued collectively at approximately $391M, including major agreements with Air Mobility Command for G-16 and G-15 cargo parachutes. The company's established track record of delivering specialized aerial delivery equipment for military and civilian agencies positions it well to support NASA's high altitude payload recovery requirements, a capability increasingly relevant to space vehicle testing and recovery operations.
