All NASA Contracts — September 12, 2026
This digest covers $339.7M in NASA contracts from September 2026, with one defense-related award (the Artemis/ULA contract) and one civilian IT services contract. The dominant theme is NASA’s deep-space exploration push under Artemis, anchored by a $59.5M sole-source award to United Launch Services for Centaur upper stages. The highest-conviction signal is the stable, long-term revenue visibility for ULA’s parent from the $177.4M total potential contract through 2031, though the fixed-price structure introduces execution risk. A key risk is the expired $280.2M ASRC IT contract, which signals potential revenue decay for Arctic Slope Regional Corporation unless new NASA awards materialize. Overall, the digest highlights a bifurcated NASA spending profile: high-priority exploration (Artemis) versus legacy IT services.
