This federal contract IDV was awarded by the U.S. Air Force Space and Missile Systems Center (SMC), a defense agency, to Astra Space Operations, LLC, a for-profit company that provides dedicated small launch services and on-orbit mobility for small satellites. The $986 million single-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, awarded in August 2021, is for Astra to provide space launch services and mission integration support through October 2028. Under this IDIQ, SMC has issued multiple firm-fixed price delivery orders to Astra, including a $495,400 order for ASTRA QUINT studies, an $11.45 million order for the STP-S29B program, and a $50,000 minimum award order for the OSP-4 On-Ramp #1 effort. The original solicitation sought proposals for the OSP-4 On-Ramp #1 multiple-award IDIQ to expand SMC's vendor pool for launch services, with a small business-friendly approach but no set-aside. Astra, which does not have a small business designation, was one of the selected vendors.
