The federal contract IDV award is from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Johnson Space Center to Airbus DS Space Systems, Inc., a foreign-owned for-profit company. The contract, valued at $9.9 million, is for the extension of capabilities of the International Space Station (ISS) National Laboratory through the Bartolomeo external payload and science hosting facility.
Under this IDV, Airbus was awarded a $1 million firm fixed price delivery order to provide capabilities for the Bartolomeo facility on the ISS. This work will take place in Houston, Texas through June 2030 and is intended to further enable ongoing research and utilization activities aboard the ISS National Laboratory. No set-aside provisions were applied to this sole-source award. Airbus DS Space Systems holds several indefinite delivery contracts with NASA to support the ISS and other programs, including $7 million in orders for Orion program assistance such as Beluga airlift services.
