About this IDV
The U.S. Air Force Space and Missile Systems Center awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract to United Launch Services, LLC, valued at $4.5 billion, on August 7, 2020, for National Security Space Launch Phase 2 launch services, with an ultimate completion date of March 31, 2028.
Work is performed at United Launch Services facilities in Greenwood Village, Colorado, with operational support from El Segundo and Hawthorne, California. The IDIQ procures comprehensive launch vehicle integration, assembly, testing, and launch operations to deliver national security payloads into low Earth orbit, geosynchronous orbits, and polar orbits using the Atlas V and Delta IV launch vehicle fleet operated by parent company United Launch Alliance.
The originating solicitation, posted in December 2018 as a pre-solicitation notice for the Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle Phase 2 program, sought assured access to space for national security requirements through fiscal year 2027. The procurement was structured to support up to 37 national security space missions across fiscal years 2020–2027, with potential value originally estimated at $1 billion to $3 billion.
United Launch Services, a wholly-owned subsidiary of United Launch Alliance (the joint venture between Lockheed Martin and Boeing), has received delivery orders under this vehicle from the Space and Missile Systems Center, Air Force Research Laboratory, and USAF DFAS. Recent task-order activity spans from mid-2022 through October 2024, with individual delivery orders ranging from under $20,000 to $170.7 million. Notable recent orders include a $170.7 million delivery order awarded August 19, 2024, completion August 19, 2025; a $123.5 million order issued July 2, 2024; and a $115.07 million order issued July 22, 2024, with completion February 28, 2027. Orders typically carry firm-fixed-price structures, support specific national security payloads and missions, and terminate on or before the IDIQ ceiling date of March 31, 2028.
