Executive Summary
This digest covers a single NASA contract worth $115.2M awarded to YULISTA TACTICAL SERVICES LLC, an 8(a) Alaskan Native Corporation-owned small business, for aircraft logistics and maintenance at Huntsville, AL. The contract is entirely civilian (NASA), with no defense exposure, and carries a neutral signal strength of 5/10.
The cost-plus-award-fee structure implies stable, lower-risk revenue, but the performance period ended in February 2023, and the outlayed amount ($84.8M) trails the total obligation, suggesting incomplete performance or unexercised options. The key watch item is whether a follow-on award or extension has been issued, as the contract's expiration limits forward-looking revenue visibility for YULISTA TACTICAL SERVICES LLC.

Investment Signals (1)
- YULISTA TACTICAL SERVICES LLC Contract Expired with $30.4M Unexercised Potential (HIGH)▲
The $115.2M NASA contract ended in February 2023, with only $84.8M outlayed, indicating $30.4M in unexercised options or incomplete performance. This creates a revenue gap risk for YULISTA TACTICAL SERVICES LLC absent a follow-on award.
Risk Flags (2)
- Execution [HIGH RISK]▼
YULISTA TACTICAL SERVICES LLC's NASA contract ended in February 2023 with $30.4M of the $115.2M obligation not outlayed, suggesting potential unexercised options or performance shortfall. No follow-on award is identified in this data set, raising revenue continuity concerns.
- Concentration [CRITICAL RISK]▼
YULISTA TACTICAL SERVICES LLC's entire $115.2M obligation is concentrated in a single NASA contract. With the contract expired, the firm faces 100% revenue concentration risk from this award unless other contracts are secured.
Opportunities (1)
- ◆
YULISTA TACTICAL SERVICES LLC's 8(a) and Alaskan Native Corporation status provides preferential access to future NASA set-aside contracts for aircraft logistics, potentially enabling a follow-on award if the agency recompetes the requirement.
Sector Themes (1)
- ◆
This $115.2M cost-plus contract for aircraft component maintenance (PSC J016) underscores NASA's ongoing need for sustainment of its flight operations, but the contract's expiration highlights the lumpy, non-recurring nature of such awards in the civilian space.
