The federal contract IDV is the Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) program, a multiple-award indefinite delivery contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Johnson Space Center to Astrobotic Technology Inc., a Pittsburgh-based space robotics and lunar landing company. Under this $2.6 billion CLPS IDV, Astrobotic has been awarded several delivery orders totaling over $400 million to deliver NASA payloads, including the Volatiles Investigating Polar Exploration Rover (VIPER) and other NASA-Provided Lunar Payloads (NPLP), to the lunar surface using Astrobotic's Peregrine lunar lander. The CLPS program enables NASA to partner with commercial providers to deliver science and technology payloads to the Moon in support of lunar exploration objectives. The task orders are firm-fixed price contracts without any set-aside designation, with periods of performance ranging from 2019 to 2025 and valued between $50,000 and $322 million. These awards demonstrate Astrobotic's capability to provide lunar surface transportation and payload delivery services to NASA under the CLPS program.
