About the company
Alaska Challenger Center For Space Science Technology Inc. is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Alaska that operates as a prime recipient of federal grants focused on space science education, community sustainability programs, and youth workforce development. The organization has received ten federal awards across a twenty-four-year span, with combined potential value of $5.5 million and combined obligated dollars of $8.3 million; 80% of recent activity sits in the prime recipient role, with 20% as a sub-recipient under larger grant programs.
The vendor's customer base is concentrated in federal science and education agencies. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration accounts for the largest share of activity: NASA Headquarters funded one award valued at $980 thousand, while NASA's Shared Services Center funded three smaller awards totaling $25 thousand combined potential value. The Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education each have placed one award. The top five customer relationships cover 70% of awards by count but only 18% by combined potential value, indicating a portfolio of modest-sized grants rather than large single awards.
Recent grant work includes a $25 thousand NASA research grant awarded in February 2022 through the agency's Shared Services Center for a community food security and sustainability program on the Kenai Peninsula, which ran through January 2024. The organization also acts as a sub-recipient: in October 2025, the University of Alaska Fairbanks named the vendor as a sub-recipient for simulated space missions targeting youth workforce development, and in March 2023, the Executive Office of State of Alaska included the vendor as a sub-recipient on an American Rescue Plan grant to support non-public schools. Across its grant footprint, the vendor operates primarily in space science education and applied research (PSC R&D- Space: Science/Applications), with secondary work in general science and technology research and community-focused sustainability initiatives.
