How this page is built: the contract values under “As announced”, the suppliers, the schedule statements and the context are curated from primary sources and dated. The USAspending awards, GCAT payloads and launches are our own database rows, matched to the program by the rule printed under each table, so a row the rule misses is absent rather than guessed.

NASA buys CLPS deliveries as task orders under 14 vendor contracts. The USAspending total below is a floor: it counts only what our mirror holds for the companies we track.
21 award records with $1.43 billion obligated, dated May 30, 2019 to May 26, 2026. Obligated means money actually put on contract, not an announced ceiling. Newest row read from USAspending on Sep 24, 2026.

An indefinite-delivery vehicle's own amount is the sum of the orders placed under it, and those orders are counted above, so vehicles are listed but never added.
Our USAspending mirror is filled company by company for the 360 companies we track, so awards to anyone else are not in it. Rule: USAspending contract rows from NASA's CLPS contracting offices (award IDs beginning 80JSC and the 80HQTR19D vendor contracts) whose own description names CLPS or Commercial Lunar Payload Services, plus the task orders NASA announced as CLPS deliveries, listed by award ID. Any other task order whose description does not say CLPS is left out, so the total is a floor. Grants that mention CLPS are not counted. Source: USAspending.gov (US Treasury).
