All NASA Contracts — March 25, 2026

$2.95B obligation with $2.43B outlayed underscores NASA's commitment to Caltech/JPL for space science through 2028.

Delivery order structure exposes value to future NASA task orders beyond base funding.

10-year term to 2028-09-30 vulnerable to NASA funding shifts or delayed task orders.

$202M in unexercised options elevates potential to $3.15B; signals scope for expanded space R&D work.

Single $2.95B non-competed award to Caltech/JPL reflects heavy reliance on nonprofits for core space science R&D.
