Chicks In Space Inc.

Chicks In Space Inc. operates as a woman-owned small business (WOSB) subcontractor delivering technology maturation and research support services for astrophysics space telescope development to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, exclusively through Lockheed Martin as prime contractor.

The vendor holds no prime contracts or government-wide vehicles. All four recent awards are subcontract positions on Lockheed Martin efforts supporting NASA's Technology Maturation for Astrophysics Space Telescopes (TECHMAST) program. The subcontracts span October 2024 through September 2025 and cover platform engineering support and technology maturation activities tied to specific program leads (Mike Jacoby, Larry Dewell). Combined obligated value across the four sub-awards is $84 thousand, placing Chicks In Space in a technical specialist or small-task execution posture rather than a systems integrator or large-scope performer role.

Customer concentration is absolute: NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center accounts for 100% of recent awards. Work falls under primary NAICS 541712 (Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences), grounding the vendor's portfolio in scientific research support rather than operations, integration, or production contracting. The vendor has demonstrated consistent activity — two awards in 2024 and two in 2025 — but remains entirely dependent on Lockheed Martin's continued engagement with the TECHMAST program; no independent prime vehicle position, no multi-prime diversification, and no secondary customer relationships are visible in the award record.
