The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Goddard Space Flight Center awarded Blue Canyon Technologies LLC, a for-profit limited liability company, an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) under the Rapid Spacecraft Acquisition IV (RAPID IV) program. The RAPID IV contract, with a $6 billion ceiling value and a performance period ending August 31, 2025, provides a flexible mechanism for the government to rapidly acquire spacecraft, related components, equipment, and services to support NASA and other federal agency missions.
As a prime contractor, Blue Canyon Technologies is tasked with providing spacecraft design, development, manufacturing, and related services under the RAPID IV IDC. The initial task order, valued at $500, requires the delivery of spacecraft image files, data sheets, and performance details to populate the RAPID IV contract database and catalog. The RAPID IV contract was competitively awarded based on technical acceptability criteria, including primary responsibility for a minimum of two successful spacecraft developments and designs with at least 7 kg payload mass and 20 W power capabilities. There are no set-aside requirements for this multiple-award contract, which is expected to serve as a key vehicle for the government to acquire flexible spacecraft solutions over the next decade.
