About the company
York Space Systems LLC, a Denver-based for-profit limited liability company and manufacturer of advanced satellite systems and space vehicles, operates as a prime contractor (88% of recent awards) under full-and-open competition with no small business set-aside designations, delivering space vehicle development, integration, testing, manufacturing, and launch services to the Department of Defense and related national security agencies.
York Space Systems has established itself as a primary contractor for the Air Force's Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture (PWSA) program family. The company's largest active award is a $617 million Other Transaction Agreement for Tranche 2 Transport Layer Alpha, an OTA extending through August 1, 2032, under which York develops and integrates advanced space vehicles and payloads for resilient satellite constellation deployment. A second major OTA for T2TL Gamma carries a ceiling of $170.3 million and runs through February 28, 2033. Earlier work includes a $233.6 million OTA for Tranche 1 Demonstration and Experimentation System (T1DES, completed December 15, 2030) and a $454.2 million OTA for Tranche 1 Transport Layer (completing September 30, 2029), both foundational PWSA efforts. York also holds a $237.6 million Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Air Force Research Laboratory (STEP 2.0 IDIQ) extending through April 2035, which provides task-order authority for space access, space vehicle development, and launch vehicle activities. Most recently, the Missile Defense Agency awarded York a seat on the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) multiple-award IDIQ with a multi-billion-dollar ceiling, focused on advanced multi-domain defense systems including research, development, prototyping, systems engineering, weapon design, production, and test and evaluation across air, missile, space, and cyber threat vectors.
Customer concentration is extreme. The Department of the Air Force accounts for 7 awards totaling $1.61 billion in combined potential value (87% of York's total portfolio), with the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory adding 3 awards valued at $237.7 million. The Office of the Secretary of Defense and the Missile Defense Agency together represent $1.6 million and $500 in potential value. The top five agencies cover 100% of combined potential value. Combined obligated spend across all awards stands at $1.27 billion against a combined potential ceiling of $1.85 billion. Activity has accelerated in recent years, with four awards in 2025 and three in 2026 year-to-date, though the portfolio carries significant recompete exposure: two awards with completion dates in the next twenty-four months hold combined potential value of $132.3 million.
York subcontracts at low volume. Recent sub work includes a materials task under the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory's Aerospace Research, Development and Engineering Support contract (January 2026) and a data-communications-links task under L3 Technologies' Warlock Phase 2 effort (January 2026). The company's work is concentrated in national defense R&D and experimental development, with secondary exposure in guided missile and space vehicle manufacturing. All identified work is performed in Colorado (Denver, Albuquerque) or Alabama (Huntsville) and supports PWSA modernization and broader Air Force space architecture objectives under Middle Tier Rapid Prototyping and Middle Tier of Acquisition pathways.
