The contract follows the previous contract NNA17BF41C and was validated through a SAM.gov notice posted from December 16-23, 2024, which received no alternative responses. While the exact award amount is not specified, the contract falls under the NAICS category 541715 for Research and Development in Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences, with a Product Service Code (PSC) of AR11 for Space R&D Services.
