NASA is consolidating how it buys logistics support across the agency, and 16 contractors now hold the agreements that will carry that work for up to eight and a half years. The space agency announced Thursday that it selected 16 companies for $1.4 billion in blanket purchase agreements for Enterprise Logistics Support Services. NASA placed the agreements against the General Services Administration's OASIS+ vehicle, and the five-year base ordering period opened Oct. 1.
In its release, NASA said it "selected 16 companies to provide Enterprise Logistics Support Services under new agreements that will standardize requirements, improve reporting, and streamline the management of costs and resources." GovCon Wire described the agreements as consolidating logistics support across the agency, with NASA saying it structured the requirements to standardize reporting, optimize resource allocation and manage operational costs.
What the $1.4 Billion Logistics BPAs Cover
The scope reaches across nearly every physical-asset function NASA runs on the ground. According to the release, "The $1.4 billion blanket purchase agreements will support equipment and property management, transportation, disposal, product support, flight hardware support operations, equipment maintenance and repair, export control, move operations, flight hardware, and other material purchases."
That list combines routine property administration with work that touches spaceflight programs directly. Flight hardware support operations and flight hardware purchases sit alongside disposal, move operations and transportation. Export control, a compliance function that governs how sensitive technical items and data move, also falls inside the same set of agreements.
GovCon Wire grouped the work into two buckets: hardware and logistics support, covering flight hardware operations, material purchases, transportation and move operations; and asset and operational management, covering equipment and property management, disposal, maintenance, repair and export control compliance.
How the OASIS+ Ordering Structure Works
NASA did not run a standalone contract vehicle. As GovCon Wire reported, "Awards were placed against GSA's One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services Plus, or OASIS+, the governmentwide multiple-award vehicle for non-information technology professional services."
Under that structure, NASA has the discretion to use firm-fixed-price, time-and-materials, labor-hour or hybrid contract types on individual task orders. The five-year base ordering period runs from Oct. 1, 2026, through Sept. 30, 2031. Three optional one-year ordering periods and a six-month option to extend follow, bringing the maximum ordering span to 8.5 years.
Being on the BPA does not guarantee revenue. Each holder will have to win task orders as NASA issues them, and the agency's choice of contract type on each order will shape pricing risk for the winners.
Who Holds the 16 Agreements?
The selected companies, as reported by GovCon Wire and NASA, are:
- Akima Facilities Operations
- Akima Global Logistics
- Alutiiq Operations Services LLC
- ASR International Corporation
- ASRC Federal Administrative Services LLC
- ASRC Federal Professional Services LLC
- IAP World Services Inc.
- KBR Wyle Services LLC
- Leidos Inc.
- LogiCore Corporation
- Prime Response Inc.
- S&K Applied Solutions LLC
- TechTrans International Inc.
- Tetra Tech Inc.
- TRAX International Corporation
- Yulista Support Services LLC
Several of the holders already do NASA logistics work. GovCon Wire noted that TRAX International won a potential six-year, $265 million contract in June 2024 covering disposal operations, export control, equipment management and transportation at Goddard Space Flight Center, Wallops Flight Facility and NASA headquarters. Akima Global Logistics secured a potential $96.3 million IDIQ the following month for logistics support at Marshall Space Flight Center. Leidos captured a potential five-year, $476.5 million contract the same year for International Space Station and Artemis cargo mission support.
Why Seven Native-Owned Firms Made the Cut
Alaska Native Corporation and tribal ownership runs through the awardee list. GovCon Wire counted seven of the 16 as subsidiaries of Alaska Native Corporations or a tribal government:
- Akima Facilities Operations and Akima Global Logistics operate under Akima, a subsidiary of NANA Regional Corporation.
- ASRC Federal Administrative Services and ASRC Federal Professional Services fall under ASRC Federal, wholly owned by Arctic Slope Regional Corporation.
- Yulista Support Services sits within Yulista Holding, owned by Calista Corporation.
- Alutiiq Operations Services operates under Alutiiq, a wholly owned subsidiary of Afognak Native Corporation.
- S&K Applied Solutions traces its origins to S&K Technologies, owned by the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes of the Flathead Reservation in Montana.
Those seven firms hold 7 of the 16 seats, alongside large integrators such as Leidos and KBR's Wyle unit.
Is a Small Business Pool Coming Next?
The announced value came in below at least one outside forecast. Capture consultancy OST Global Solutions tracked the procurement and estimated its value at $1.7 billion over 10 years, according to GovCon Wire. The agreements NASA announced total $1.4 billion with a maximum ordering span of 8.5 years.
OST Global Solutions also reported that NASA ran a dual-market request for information in April against both the OASIS+ unrestricted and small business pools under NAICS code 541614. The firm read that as a strong indication that a dedicated small business pool would follow. NASA's release does not mention a small business award, and the agency has not announced one.
What It Means for Contractors
For the 16 holders, the competition shifts from winning a seat to winning orders. Firms with incumbent center-level logistics work, such as TRAX at Goddard and Wallops or Akima Global Logistics at Marshall, will want to position for task orders that overlap the scope they already perform.
For companies left off the list, the base ordering period runs through Sept. 30, 2031. Teaming as a subcontractor to one of the 16 holders is the most direct route into the work during that period.
Small businesses holding OASIS+ small business pool contracts under NAICS 541614 should watch NASA's procurement notices. The April dual-market RFI, as OST Global Solutions reported it, covered both pools, and OST read that as a sign a small business award may follow.
The award also shows a civilian agency running a large agencywide services requirement through OASIS+ rather than a standalone vehicle.
