The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Kennedy Space Center awarded a $300 million firm fixed price delivery order to ABL Space Systems Company under the Venture-Class Acquisition of Dedicated and Rideshare (VADR) indefinite-delivery indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) master contract. Under this task order, ABL Space Systems Company will provide VADR Umbrella Task Order products and services from its place of performance in El Segundo, California, starting on March 29, 2023 through February 3, 2027. The original VADR IDIQ was solicited as a pre-solicitation notice by NASA Kennedy Space Center to establish an IDIQ contract for dedicated and rideshare launch services capable of delivering payloads up to 1,000 kg to various orbits, including escape trajectories, with high risk tolerance. The procurement used a full and open competition with no set-aside, under NAICS code 481212 with a size standard of 1,500 employees. NASA sought responses describing company capabilities, launch offerings, pricing, integration practices, analysis deliverables, and impacts from a modified technical oversight approach consistent with commercial risk postures.
