All NASA Contracts — October 03, 2026

The firm-fixed-price structure of this $254.3M delivery order places cost overrun risk on Boeing, a known issue in prior fixed-price space contracts. Any delays or technical issues could pressure margins.

Boeing's $254.3M fixed-price contract carries medium pricing risk; cost overruns on fixed-price space contracts have historically impacted earnings (e.g., Starliner program).

NASA's Commercial Crew Program funding depends on annual appropriations; a continuing resolution or budget cuts could delay option exercises or reduce the total $363.6M potential value.

If NASA exercises all options, Boeing's total contract value could rise to $363.6M, providing incremental revenue through May 2027. Post-certification mission orders could further extend the program.

This 11.5-year contract (2015-2027) demonstrates NASA's long-term commitment to crew transportation for the ISS, signaling stable funding for human spaceflight programs despite budget uncertainty.
