About this IDV
The Office of the Secretary of Defense awarded an Other Transaction IDV to Katalyst Space Technologies, LLC with a ceiling of $21,631,591.02 on July 20, 2026, to deliver Deorbit as a Service (DAAS) solutions enabling rapid, safe, and reliable deorbit of unprepared satellites. This OT IDV sits outside the FAR and draws on Other Transaction authority to support prototype development and rapid acquisition in the space domain.
Katalyst Space Technologies is a small disadvantaged business based in Flagstaff, Arizona, with demonstrated expertise in orbital perception systems, space domain awareness, and responsive space technologies. The company's technical portfolio directly supports satellite deorbit operations through advanced perception, cislunar observation networks, and propellant transfer interface development—capabilities the company has refined across recent SBIR Phase II/III efforts and Air Force Research Laboratory programs focused on contested-environment asset relocation and counter-space defense.
This DAAS OT IDV reflects the Department of Defense's focus on rapid, innovative solutions to the growing orbital debris challenge and satellite end-of-life management in contested environments. The vehicle provides Katalyst a dedicated pathway to mature and potentially produce deorbit capabilities outside traditional contracting timelines.
