ASTRO

The General Services Administration Federal Acquisition Service Assisted Acquisition Services Federal Systems Integration and Management Center is procuring services supporting manned, unmanned, optionally manned platforms and robotics under the ASTRO Master GWAC, with authority to place orders through November 14, 2031.

ASTRO was established November 15, 2021 and remains actively ordered. The vehicle has awarded 30 task orders totaling $25.35 billion in combined potential value, with $5.93 billion obligated to date (23% of total potential value). Ordering momentum has strengthened significantly: annual task-order count grew from one order in 2022 to eleven in 2024, with ten orders in 2025 and three awarded as of March 2026. The vehicle spans ten subcategories—Aviation, Data Operations, Development Systems Integration, Ground, Maritime, Mission Operations, Research, Space, Support, and Training—with recent awards running across intelligence operations platforms, aircraft maintenance, training readiness infrastructure, and development systems integration.

Booz Allen Hamilton and Science Applications International Corporation dominate by order count and combined potential value, holding $6.54 billion and $4.54 billion respectively. By potential value alone, Vertex Aerospace and Smartronix each hold single mega-orders worth $3.67 billion and $3.27 billion, concentrating roughly 78% of total vehicle value among five primes; the broader field includes Mantech Advanced Systems International and a longer tail of smaller awardees. The Army (including Materiel Command and Training and Doctrine Command) funds roughly 53% of awarded task orders by count, with combined potential value exceeding $7.7 billion across those orders. Air Force and USAFRICOM complete the customer base.

All 30 task orders carry no set-aside designation; the vehicle is fully unrestricted and driven by open competition. Task-order ceilings range widely—from under $40 million to over $3.6 billion—with recent mega-awards including WARFIGHTER TRAINING READINESS SOLUTIONS ($3.67 billion ceiling), SYSTEM SOFTWARE LIFECYCLE ENGINEERING ($1.77 billion ceiling), SERVICE SOLUTIONS FOR MODERNIZATION ANALYSIS READINESS CAPABILITY THREAT AND TRAINING ($2.57 billion ceiling), and BREAKTHROUGH ENGINEERING AND ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS ($936.8 million ceiling). Pricing structures include Cost Plus Award Fee (predominant), Cost Plus Fixed Fee, Firm Fixed Price, and Time and Materials. Performance periods extend from near-term (months) to multi-year efforts expiring in 2031 and 2032.

ASTRO is a broadly scoped series of contract vehicles encompassing virtually all services supporting or involving manned, unmanned, or optionally manned platforms and robotics.
