About American Astronautical Society Inc.
American Astronautical Society Inc., doing business as AAS, is a tax-exempt non-profit organization based in Springfield, Virginia, that organizes professional symposia and conferences for the aerospace and space industry as a federal prime contractor operating in the full-and-open market without set-aside designations.
AAS operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of awards) across a small footprint of federal purchase orders. The organization's federal work centers on organizing and managing registration services for recurring annual symposia, primarily the John Glenn Space Technology Symposium, the Robert H. Goddard Memorial Symposium, and the Goddard Space Science Symposium. Representative awards include a $37,500 purchase order from NASA's Shared Services Center for the 63rd Annual Goddard Space Science Symposium (award date March 12, 2026, completion March 13, 2026); a $23,500 purchase order for registration of 110 federal employees at the 2025 John Glenn Space Technology Symposium (award date September 8, 2025); and a $24,950 purchase order for the 2025 AAS Goddard Space Science Symposium (award date March 19, 2025). Individual purchase orders typically range from $22,000 to $37,500 and cover conference logistics, registration services, and attendee coordination.
Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward NASA. Of 48 total awards spanning more than two decades, the top five funding entities account for 77% of awards and combined potential value. NASA's Shared Services Center anchors the footprint with 17 awards valued at $393 thousand, followed by NASA Goddard Space Center with 11 awards worth $191 thousand. The Department of the Navy Office of Naval Research, NASA Johnson Space Center, and NASA Marshall Space Flight Center round out the active customer set with significantly smaller award volumes. AAS has no parent contract vehicles or IDVs; all work flows through direct purchase orders.
Activity has remained flat and small-scale — two awards per year across 2022 through 2025, with one award in early 2026. Combined potential value across all 48 awards in the source data stands at $921 thousand, with 100% of potential value obligated. AAS does not subcontract; the organization serves solely as a prime contractor delivering event management and registration services directly to federal customers. The vendor operates in a specialized, low-dollar niche focused on professional symposia management within the aerospace and space community.
