AI Contract Overview

NASA Johnson Space Center has issued a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition to modify contract 80JSC022DA022 with Axiom Space, Inc. This sole-source modification adds Contract Line Item Number 5, which covers the production and delivery of Exploration Extravehicular Activity Services hardware. The scope of work includes the development, upgrades, enhancements, sustainment, maintenance, repair, and refurbishment of xEVA system hardware, as well as associated ground and test support equipment. This action is intended to ensure mission schedule resilience for the International Space Station and Artemis programs. The modification was executed on October 22, 2026, under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), as Axiom Space is the only responsible source capable of meeting the technical, integration, and schedule requirements for a lunar-capable xEVA system. NASA determined that awarding this work to another source would cause unacceptable delays and substantial duplication of costs. The period of performance for CLIN 5 extends through May 30, 2032, and the addition does not increase the existing 3.1 billion dollar contract ceiling or extend the overall contract period of performance.

Full Description

This notice provides the Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) supporting the sole-source modification of Contract No. 80JSC022DA022 (P00015) with Axiom Space, Inc. to add Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) 5, Hardware Production and Delivery, to the Exploration Extravehicular Activity Services (xEVAS) contract. CLIN 5 provides for xEVA system hardware production and delivery, including development, upgrades, enhancements, sustainment, maintenance, repair, and refurbishment. The CLIN 5 period of performance extends from contract modification issuance through the xEVAS ordering period end date of May 30, 2032. This action does not extend the contract period of performance.

NASA Johnson Space Center modified Contract 80JSC022DA022 with Axiom Space, Inc. on October 22, 2026, under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), "Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements." Axiom is the only responsible source capable of meeting NASA's technical, integration, compatibility, and schedule requirements because it is the only xEVAS contractor currently in active development of a lunar-capable xEVA system. Award to any other source would result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government and unacceptable delays in fulfilling agency requirements.

NASA conducted market research and published a notice on SAM.gov on June 11, 2026. NASA evaluated available information and determined that no alternative source could satisfy the agency's integration, compatibility, and schedule requirements.

This notice is published in accordance with FAR 5.301 and FAR 6.305.
