About this IDV

NASA Johnson Space Center awarded a single-award indefinite-delivery contract to Alpha Space Test And Research Alliance, LLC on August 11, 2021, with a ceiling of $9.9 million and an ultimate completion date of November 30, 2026. The contract is not set-aside and carries no restrictions on competition.

Alpha Space is a woman-owned and minority-owned small business. Work is performed at the contractor's facility in Webster, Texas.

The IDIQ funds integration and on-orbit operations of selected experiments aboard the Materials ISS Experiments Flight Facility (MISSE-FF), including integration, manifesting for launch, on-orbit operations, and return of projects aboard the International Space Station.

The contract has generated substantial task-order activity under the MISSE-FF program. Recent delivery orders include a $159,129 firm fixed-price order (December 3, 2025) for mission integration and operations supporting the ASTRID thermal control investigation, with completion by December 31, 2027; a $197,420 order (July 29, 2025, increased from $177,678) for the Alpha Space 2 MISSE Amplified project, completing September 30, 2027; a $92,596 order (January 29, 2025) for the Passive Thermal Switch Avionics Simulator (PATHS) experiment, completing July 1, 2027; and a $44,840 order (August 22, 2024) for polymer and composite thin film testing in the space environment. Earlier orders supporting MISSE-FF missions include work on spectral characterization of spacecraft materials, high strain composite spiral wrapped antenna technology, AFRL VIV2 investigation operations, and near-infrared spectrum flight experiment support. A $9.9 million delivery order for in-space assembly of solar cells was issued October 26, 2021.
