Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS 2.0)

CLPS 2.0 is the upcoming recompete of NASA’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services program, designed to maintain and expand rapid, frequent, and affordable access to the lunar surface through commercial partnerships. Building on the original CLPS framework established in 2018, this next-generation contract will continue to utilize an indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity structure awarding firm fixed price task orders to selected vendors, who are fully responsible for executing end-to-end lunar deliveries including securing launch vehicles, obtaining all required FAA and federal regulatory approvals, and managing subcontractors. The program emphasizes commercial innovation and procurement efficiency, with deliveries targeted exclusively to the Moon to support NASA’s Artemis objectives and broader lunar exploration goals. This forecast solicitation, posted by NASA’s Johnson Space Center, is anticipated to open in 2026 and will be managed under NAICS code 927110, with Adam Schlesinger listed as the primary point of contact and Tumarrow Romain serving as the small business specialist to ensure opportunities for small business participation.
