About the company
American Astronautical Society Inc. (doing business as AAS) is a tax-exempt non-profit organization based in Springfield, Virginia that organizes aerospace and space-technology symposia and conferences for federal agencies as a prime contractor on small-dollar purchase orders, with no subcontracting activity and no set-aside utilization across its federal footprint.
AAS operates exclusively as a prime on firm fixed-price purchase orders in the $22,000 to $37,500 range, delivering conference logistics, registration services, and attendee coordination. The organization's federal customer base concentrates heavily with NASA: NASA's Shared Services Center accounts for 18 awards totaling $430 thousand (78% of recent award count and 45% of combined potential value), while NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center provides 11 awards worth $191 thousand. The Department of the Navy's Office of Naval Research, NASA's Johnson Space Flight Center, NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, and the Smithsonian Institution round out the active customer set. The two top-customer rankings track closely — the Shared Services Center dominates both volume and dollar concentration — reflecting a stable, recurring relationship anchored to annual symposium events.
AAS's award portfolio consists primarily of purchase orders for three recurring events: the John Glenn Space Technology Symposium (organized by AAS, with NASA purchasing bulk registrations for civil servants), the Robert H. Goddard Memorial Symposium (similarly structured), and the Von Braun Symposium (Huntsville, Alabama). Recent examples include a $37,500 purchase order from NASA's Shared Services Center for Von Braun Symposium registrations (awarded October 26, 2026), a $37,500 order for the 63rd Annual Goddard Space Science Symposium (March 12, 2026), and a $23,500 order for 110 employee registrations at the 2025 John Glenn Space Technology Symposium (September 8, 2025).
Activity remains flat at approximately two awards per year across 2022–2026, with a combined potential value of $959 thousand across all 49 awards in the source data. The portfolio carries minimal recompete pressure — only one award (combined potential value $38 thousand) completes within the next twenty-four months. AAS categorizes under Professional Organizations (40 awards) and convention and trade-show-organizer activities, with federal spending predominantly coded under Education/Training services. The organization has served federal customers since at least 2003 according to the source data and maintains 100% obligated funding across its award portfolio, indicating consistent annual execution of contracted symposium events.
