About the company
Vaya Space, Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business and manufacturer of goods based in Cocoa, Florida, specializes in advanced propulsion systems for aerospace and defense applications. The company focuses on developing innovative hypersonic propulsion technologies that enhance the capabilities of next-generation weapons systems and military platforms. As a small business manufacturer, Vaya Space has positioned itself at the forefront of hypersonic propulsion research, contributing to the Department of Defense's modernization strategy through contracted research and development efforts.
Vaya Space's federal contracting experience demonstrates a focused expertise in hypersonic propulsion system development through the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program. The company was awarded a Phase I SBIR contract valued at $74,976 by the Air Force Research Laboratory on May 15, 2024, focused on developing hybrid rocket ejector-ramjet hypersonic propulsion technology to strengthen anti-access/area denial (A2/AD) penetration capabilities, with work completed by August 19, 2024. Building on this initial research phase, Vaya Space received a significantly larger Phase II SBIR contract worth $1.24 million from the Air Force Research Laboratory on July 9, 2025, under a Total Small Business set-aside designation. This Phase II effort addresses the development of a hybrid-fueled ramjet (HFRJ) system with throttleable and restartable capabilities designed for hypersonic missile propulsion applications, with work to be performed at the company's Cocoa, Florida facility and completion targeted for January 11, 2027. Both SBIR awards demonstrate the Air Force Research Laboratory's confidence in Vaya Space's technical capabilities and its progression from feasibility research to advanced development of critical defense propulsion technologies.
Vaya Space holds an Other Transaction indefinite delivery vehicle (IDV) awarded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) on July 31, 2025, with a ceiling value of $299,842. This IDV provides DARPA with flexible procurement authority to support advanced research and development activities consistent with Vaya Space's core competencies in aerospace technology, enabling rapid prototyping and innovation in defense-related applications. As an indefinite delivery vehicle, this contract establishes a framework agreement under which DARPA may issue task orders to procure research outputs, analyses, prototypes, or related technical services. The Other Transaction classification allows DARPA to operate outside traditional federal contracting requirements, facilitating expedited procurement of innovative solutions. While specific task orders and technical deliverables have not been detailed, the contract structure suggests that DARPA may leverage Vaya Space's propulsion expertise for preliminary research phases, focused technical efforts, or proof-of-concept engagements within its broader research portfolio.
