About this IDV
NASA Kennedy Space Center awarded an indefinite-delivery contract to Rocket Lab USA Inc. for the Venture-Class Acquisition of Dedicated and Rideshare (VADR) Launch Services with a $5 billion ceiling and an ultimate completion date of January 27, 2032, as a multiple-award vehicle with no set-aside applied. The contract was awarded February 1, 2022.
Place of performance is Long Beach, California. The originating solicitation sought capability statements for an IDIQ to provide dedicated and rideshare launch services capable of delivering payloads up to 1,000 kg to various orbits, including escape trajectories, with high risk tolerance. Responses were required to address company information, launch capabilities, commercial pricing and terms, customer involvement practices, analysis deliverables, mission management approaches, and any costs or schedule impacts associated with modified technical oversight requirements.
Two delivery orders have been issued under this IDIQ. On March 29, 2023, NASA Kennedy Space Center issued a $300 million firm fixed price delivery order to Rocket Lab USA Inc. for dedicated and rideshare launch services extending through January 27, 2032, with place of performance in Long Beach, California. A prior task order for TIME-RESOLVED OBSERVATIONS OF PRECIPITATION STRUCTURE AND STORM INTENSITY WITH A CONSTELLATION OF SMALLSATS (TROPICS) LAUNCH SERVICES was awarded November 22, 2022, with performance through September 2023; that order was administratively closed and its remaining value migrated to the $300 million delivery order via modification.
The contract applies NAICS code 481212 with a size standard of 1,500 employees.
