About Firefly Aerospace Inc.

Written by GovTribe AI ·

Firefly Aerospace Inc., a Cedar Park, Texas-based commercial space transportation and lunar payload delivery company, operates as a prime contractor on federal space exploration and defense programs for NASA, the Department of the Air Force, and the Missile Defense Agency. The company competes exclusively in full-and-open procurements with no set-aside posture. Firefly is a subsidiary of Noosphere Venture Partners LP and operates within a corporate family that includes Firefly Research Inc., Firefly Space Transport Services LLC, Spaceflight Inc., and Scitec Innovations LLC — a portfolio spanning dedicated launch services, rideshare logistics, lunar lander development, and advanced propulsion research.

Firefly's federal footprint is dominated by space transportation and lunar payload delivery work. The company holds a $300 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with NASA Kennedy Space Center for Venture-Class Acquisition of Dedicated and Rideshare (VADR) launch services, enabling delivery of payloads up to 1,000 kilograms to various orbits through January 2032. Under the Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) program at NASA Johnson Space Center, Firefly holds seven task orders valued at $746.1 million combined potential value, with awards spanning lunar lander studies, mid-sized lander development, and incremental lunar payload delivery services. Recent prime work includes a $176.7 million CLPS delivery order issued July 29, 2025, with completion scheduled for April 2, 2030; a $144.2 million CLPS delivery order issued June 30, 2026, for mission design finalization and milestone delivery through August 2027; and a $113.5 million CLPS delivery order (CS-3) issued March 14, 2023, running through August 2027. Beyond lunar work, Firefly secured a $4.5 million HELLBENDER definitive contract from the Air Force Research Laboratory on November 14, 2024, completing January 2027, and a $3.1 million OTV Nozzle Effort contract from AFRL issued September 26, 2024, completing December 2026. The company also holds a $151 billion Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contract with the Missile Defense Agency for the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) program, a multi-domain defense system development vehicle running through December 2035, with a single initial task order valued at $500 to date.

Customer concentration is extreme: NASA Johnson Space Center accounts for 8 awards carrying $3.35 billion combined potential value — 91% of the company's total portfolio dollars — with NASA Kennedy Space Center adding 3 awards and $308 million. The top five funding organizations account for 85% of award count but 100% of potential value, reflecting NASA's overwhelming dominance. Within the next twenty-four months, seven awards valued at $292.7 million reach ultimate completion and face recompete exposure, including the full CLPS CS-6 delivery order ($176.7 million, April 2, 2030) and the June 2026 $144.2 million CLPS order (August 30, 2027). Firefly's work sits on the CLPS master IDIQ (7 task orders, $746.1 million) and the VADR launch services IDC ($300 million umbrella task order). The company operates as a prime on 95% of recent awards and holds a single subcontract position under Valkyrie Enterprises LLC for MIT Lincoln Laboratory research and development work dated December 2023. Award activity shows growth from one award in 2022 to six in 2024, with three awards each in 2025 and 2026 year-to-date. Top NAICS categories are Nonscheduled Chartered Freight Air Transportation (11 awards) and Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (6 awards), with primary PSC classification as Space R&D Services and Space Flight activities. Combined potential value across the 20-award portfolio totals $3.68 billion, with $472.1 million obligated to date, representing 13% drawdown.
