The United States Deorbit Vehicle contract, awarded by the NASA Johnson Space Center under solicitation 80JSC023R0003, tasks the contractor with the design, development, manufacture, testing, and delivery of a safe and cost-effective vehicle to manage the end-of-life deorbit of the International Space Station. The selected contractor is responsible for ensuring the vehicle can successfully rendezvous and dock with the station, maintain attitude control, execute translational maneuvers, and perform the critical orbit shaping and reentry burns necessary for a controlled descent. This competitive procurement follows a rigorous selection process that began with a request for information in August 2022 and utilizes a hybrid contract structure combining cost-plus-incentive-fee and firm-fixed-price elements. Performance for this mission is centered in Hawthorne, California, and the project encompasses the full lifecycle of the vehicle from initial integration through NASA acceptance and sustainment to ensure the secure disposal of the space station.
