Spaceport Authority Inc.

Spaceport Authority Inc., a for-profit manufacturer based in Woodbridge, Virginia, designs and develops sea-based launch platforms and responsive space delivery systems for the Department of Defense as a prime contractor under Other Transaction Agreements, SBIR contracts, and definitive contracts set aside for total small business participation. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime (100% of awards) with no subcontract footprint and competes across both set-aside and full-and-open small business awards.

The vendor's customer concentration is entirely within the Department of Defense. The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) leads by combined potential value at $4.8 million across two awards — a $4.7 million OTA for design of a sea-based launch platform under the National Security Innovation Capital (NSIC) program awarded May 31, 2023, running through January 30, 2027, and a $74,994 SBIR Phase I purchase order for "Launch Pads at Sea for Space Superiority" awarded June 25, 2024 and completed September 26, 2024. The Missile Defense Agency accounts for $3 million across three awards: a $2.96 million definitive contract for motion-compensated liquid-fueled launch support equipment for threat-representative target launches awarded November 1, 2025 under total small business set-aside, performed in Woodbridge, Virginia on a cost-plus-fixed-fee basis with completion by January 29, 2028; and a $500 delivery order under the SHIELD IDIQ awarded December 29, 2025. The Office of the Secretary of Defense contributed a $2.7 million OTA awarded April 29, 2024 for "Novel Responsive Space Delivery" capabilities with completion by April 30, 2026. All three customer agencies appear in both the award-count and potential-value rankings in identical order.

Spaceport Authority Inc. holds a position on the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) multiple-award IDIQ, an MDA contract awarded December 29, 2025 with a multi-billion-dollar ceiling extending through December 28, 2035. The SHIELD vehicle is structured for full-and-open competition and supports research and development, prototyping, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, and modernization across multi-domain defense systems. Activity has grown from one award in 2023 to three in 2025, with total awards reaching six and combined obligated value at $10.4 million. Two awards (combined potential value $7.7 million) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and present recompete exposure. The vendor's capability concentration sits in research and development in the physical and engineering sciences (four awards) and national defense R&D services focused on experimental development and applied research (three awards). All work is performed in Woodbridge, Virginia or Huntsville, Alabama.
