About this IDV
The United States Space Force Space and Missile Systems Center awarded a multiple-award indefinite-delivery indefinite-quantity contract to Relativity Federal, Inc., with a ceiling of $17 billion, on July 7, 2026, to procure National Security Space Launch Phase 3 Lane 1 launch services.
The contract carries no set-aside. Place of performance is the United States, with all launch services provided in support of national security space operations. The originating solicitation, posted December 8, 2025, with proposals due January 22, 2026, seeks to provide assured access to space for the integrated space architecture at affordable prices while delivering national security space capabilities to the warfighter. Offerors must comply with the U.S. Commercial Provider definition under the Commercial Space Act of 1998, requiring companies to be organized under U.S. laws and more than 50 percent owned by U.S. nationals.
The contract runs for a three-year basic ordering period with a five-year option ordering period, with an ultimate completion date of June 13, 2034. The award is one of multiple awards under the National Security Space Launch Phase 3 Lane 1 Fiscal Year 2026 On-Ramp program. The Space Force intends to compete approximately 30 missions annually through task order competitions and will reopen the IDIQ solicitation annually to on-ramp emerging providers. The program has implemented a tiered mission assurance approach that accepts higher mission risk to address specific mission needs.
