The National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Johnson Space Center has awarded a $15 million Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) to Chemring Energetic Devices Inc., a foreign-owned, for-profit manufacturer of energetic materials, detonators, and ordnance products. This IDC, which does not utilize any set-aside designations, enables NASA to rapidly procure a variety of specialized pyrotechnic and energetic materials to support its space exploration programs.
Under this IDC, Chemring has received several firm fixed-price delivery orders to provide NASA Standard Initiators (NSIs), NASA Standard Detonators (NSDs), and other critical flight hardware from its facility in Downers Grove, Illinois. The total value of the delivery orders awarded to date is approximately $10 million, with performance periods extending through 2025. These products directly support NASA's development of spacecraft, the International Space Station, and other high-profile agency initiatives. Chemring's extensive experience as a supplier of specialized ordnance and energetic components to both defense and civilian government customers makes it well-positioned to fulfill NASA's requirements through this flexible contract vehicle.
