LWP Technologies LLC

LWP Technologies LLC, a small disadvantaged business sole proprietorship headquartered in Aurora, Colorado, provides technical and professional services supporting NASA's student launch and STEM engagement programs as a prime contractor on sole-source purchase orders with the NASA Shared Services Center. The vendor operates exclusively in the research and development and engineering services space, with all four recent awards routed through NASA's Wallops Flight Facility student programs and carrying no competitive set-aside designation despite the vendor's small disadvantaged business status.

LWP Technologies' federal footprint is narrow and specialized. The NASA Shared Services Center accounts for 100% of the vendor's recent awards and combined potential value ($385 thousand across four purchase orders). Work centers on the RockOn Workshop and RockSat student launch opportunity programs, which support undergraduate rocket design and flight initiatives at minority-serving institutions and other universities. The vendor's four awards span April 2023 through October 2025, with contract values ranging from $40,700 to $130,000. Representative work includes a $130,000 firm fixed-price purchase order awarded December 31, 2024, for RockOn student and faculty workshops, experiment kit preparation, and launch support through September 2025; a $120,000 purchase order from October 2023 supporting RockOn and RockSat C programs with an MSI workshop component; and a $94,000 purchase order effective October 1, 2025, covering selection and support of 10–20 RockSat teams, 40–80 design reviews, surface mount component installation, and onsite launch support during May–June 2026 at Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia. All awards were made on sole-source justification citing LWP Technologies' eight-year history and unique technical expertise in supporting NASA's student engagement initiatives.

Award activity is minimal and intermittent — two awards in 2023, one in 2024, one in 2025 — with only one award ($94 thousand) facing completion within the next twenty-four months. The vendor operates as a pure prime contractor with no subcontract footprint. LWP Technologies' narrow customer concentration and single-agency dependence positions it as a specialized student-program support vendor rather than a broader federal services provider.
