Lockheed Martin’s $39.95M cost-plus-fixed-fee contract from NASA ended in August 2020, with $17.3M obligated at award. The non-competitive award and cost-plus structure historically reduced risk, but the contract is no longer generating revenue.

Lockheed Martin’s historical sole-source position for NASA advanced technology R&D at Ames Research Center may face recompetition, potentially eroding incumbency advantage.

Lockheed Martin’s historical sole-source award for NASA R&D suggests potential for future non-competitive follow-ons if the agency continues to rely on its specialized capabilities.

The single contract reflects NASA’s stable but non-recurring investment in advanced technology R&D through cost-plus vehicles, which historically provided predictable margins for Lockheed Martin.
