SCOUT Analysis — NASA Market Intelligence
NASA obligated $13.6B across 12,994 contracts in the trailing 12 months (Apr 2025–Mar 2026, ≥$100K floor), with JPL operations and Artemis program spending driving the largest awards.
Commercial space partnerships (SpaceX, Blue Origin, and emerging providers) continue to reshape NASA's acquisition strategy — fixed-price commercial contracts are growing as a share of total spend.
IT modernization, digital engineering, and cloud adoption across NASA centers represent a rapidly growing accessible market for IT contractors outside the prime aerospace tier.
NASA's Agency Consolidated End-User Services (ACES) and upcoming SEWP VI task orders are generating significant competitive surface area for mid-market IT firms.
