Contract Option Exercises — May 04, 2026

Option exercise maintains $351,035,113 total obligation (with $246,907,027 outlayed) on this 8(a) set-aside cost-plus-fixed-fee contract for Goddard Space Flight Center engineering services through 2023-11-30. Signals steady NASA civilian funding but neutral investment impact given low materiality (2/10) and small business recipient.

ALCYON TECHNICAL SERVICES (ATS) JV faces potential completion risks post-2023-11-30 end date despite 2026 option exercise, with only $246,907,027 outlayed of $351,035,113 obligated and $7.38B subawards across 2690 transactions requiring monitoring.

As an 8(a) competed set-aside under full and open competition after exclusion, ALCYON JV's position may face re-compete scrutiny despite low pricing risk on this cost-plus-fixed-fee structure.

ALCYON TECHNICAL SERVICES (ATS) JV benefits from ongoing 8(a) designation as SBA Certified 8(a) Joint Venture, Women Owned Small Business, enabling $351M NASA obligation in space engineering.

$7,385,356,524 subawards across 2690 transactions on ALCYON JV's NASA contract highlight downstream supply chain opportunities in space systems engineering.

Single $351M option exercise to ALCYON JV sustains engineering/technical support (PSC R425) for flight/ground systems at Goddard SFC, with $247M outlayed and massive $7.38B subawards.
