All NASA Contracts — October 17, 2026

The cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order runs 2018-10-01 to 2028-09-30 with a $21,669,510 base-plus-options ceiling and $11,042,681 outlayed, indicating sustained NASA JPL-managed R&D funding. The recipient is a nonprofit higher education institution, so no public-equity vehicle is identified.

The time-and-materials delivery order under NASA Marshall Space Flight Center's Logistics Support Services II vehicle has only about 34% ($6,313,381) outlayed and is rated high pricing risk. Revenue realization depends on option exercises toward the $18,300,000 ceiling, and the parent's public status is not stated.

Akima Global Logistics' MSFC delivery order shows high pricing risk on a time-and-materials basis with only about 34% outlayed; slow burn or scope changes could delay revenue recognition.

The data contains no NASA budget trend information, so the durability of civilian funding behind both awards cannot be verified from this digest.

Remaining options on the Caltech JPL delivery order could raise obligations from $17,137,851 toward the $21,669,510 ceiling as NASA space science work continues through 2028.

Akima Global Logistics could expand MSFC Logistics Support Services II revenue by closing the gap between the $15,530,739 obligation and the $18,300,000 base-plus-options value.

Both awards are civilian NASA obligations totaling $32,668,591 with zero defense-related awards, signaling that this sample reflects steady civilian R&D and facilities support rather than defense-driven demand. The contracts span applied space science research and flight hardware logistics support.
