Sierra Space Corp federal award total
Sierra Space Corp is a tracked USAspending.gov prime recipient; this page reports its lifetime obligations across every award action filed under one recipient ID.
PlainFedContract reports USAspending.gov /recipient/ lifetime ledgers for Sierra Space Corp: cumulative prime obligations on this recipient ID, not a single fiscal year. Lifetime totals can exceed one year's national pool; do not read the scale bar as an annual share. Open linked agency or state breakdowns when present; see /methodology/#populations/.
Reading Sierra Space Corp's Federal Contract Record
Sierra Space Corp appears on USAspending.gov's public record with cumulative federal contract obligations at the child recipient level.
Sierra Space Corp is among the larger federal contractors tracked in this dataset, #1,279 of 5,000 tracked recipients, same order as the top-contractors rankings.
The awards, annual trend and peer sections below show what sits behind the header figures. See methodology.
How to read this obligation total (lifetime ledger, not annual spend)
This figure is a rolling aggregate of every prime-award action ever reported for this recipient ID, new awards, modifications, option exercises, and de-obligations all flow into the same total, so the dollar amount shown above is a lifetime ledger rather than an annual budget. Interpreting it as a single-year spend would overstate current activity; interpreting it as a guaranteed revenue stream would overstate commitment, because modifications can cut scope or scope can simply lapse unexercised. The child classification also matters for how this record should be read: prime recipients hold the contract directly with a federal agency and are fully responsible for performance; parent-level rollups aggregate awards across subsidiaries, which can inflate totals for large conglomerates whose operating units compete separately. The UEI in the header is the post-2022 federal identifier that replaced the DUNS number, it persists across name changes, acquisitions, and reorganizations, making it the most reliable anchor for tracking this entity over time. For researchers, journalists, and procurement staff, the practical layer under this total is verification: USAspending.gov exposes every underlying transaction by award ID, so any totals on this page can be reconstructed action-by-action through the agency's advanced search. Contract amounts displayed here reflect obligations, money the government has committed, not outlays, which is cash actually disbursed, and the gap between obligation and outlay can span multiple fiscal years on multi-year contracts, so a large obligation total does not imply equivalent cash flow in any single period.
2023–2024 trend for Sierra Space Corp
Across the calendar years on file, Sierra Space Corp’s annual contract obligations rose from $23.2M in 2023 to $25.2M in 2024. 8.6% vs 2023
Calendar-year prime contract obligations by action date (award types A-D). This annual series is a separate population from the lifetime total above and does not sum to it.
Sierra Space Corp's federal contractor value score
One verdict number from this portal's own compiled award data, benchmarked against the tracked contractor corpus: scale, recent momentum, and revenue consistency.
- Contract scale B $122,594,818 Total tracked federal contract value
- Recent momentum C +8.6% Most recent tracked year vs. the prior year
- Revenue consistency N/A N/A Year-over-year variation across every tracked year
Higher scale, stronger recent momentum, and steadier year-over-year revenue all score higher. A dimension with too little tracked history for this recipient drops out and its weight redistributes across the rest -- it never silently lowers the score. Full method: federal contractor value score.

IGF::OT::IGF NASA BAA/NRA AWARD. PROPOSAL TITLE "NEXT SPACE TECHNOLOGIES FOR EXPLORATION PARTNERSHIP - NEXTSTEP-2. THE NEXTSTEP-2 STUDY CONDUCTED BY SNC WILL EVALUATE MISSION ARCHITECTURE, SYSTEM INTERFACES, AND SUBSYSTEM COMPONENT DESIGN TO MEET THE OBJECTIVES OF THE THREE OPERATIONAL PHASES OUTLINED BY NASA. NASA'S HEOMD/AES DIVISION SELECTED THE SIERRA NEVADA CORPORATION PROPOSAL IN RESPONSE TO THE NEXT SPACE TECHNOLOGIES FOR EXPLORATION PARTNERSHIPS -2 (NEXTSTEP-2) BAA SOLICITATION IN THE AREA OF HABITATION SYSTEMS. THIS CONTRACT EFFORT WILL FOCUS ON REFINING ARCHITECTURES AND CONCEPTS OF OPERATION AND DEVELOPING A FULL SIZE GROUND BASED DEEP SPACE HABITATION PROTOTYPE UNIT FOR INITIAL HABITATION CAPABILITIES IN CISLUNAR SPACE WITH EXTENSIBILITY FOR IN-SPACE TRANSIT HABITATION. THIS CONTRACT WILL ALSO DEVELOP PLANS AND ESTIMATES FOR FURTHER ENGINEERING AND FLIGHT UNIT DEVELOPMENT AND PARTICIPATION IN A NASA-LED STANDARDS AND COMMON INTERFACES WORKING GROUP. KEY COMPONENTS AND TECHNOLOGIES WILL BE IDENTIFIED DURING THE STUDY PHASE. AS PART OF OPTION 1 SNC WILL DEVELOP A FULL-SCALE PROTOTYPE TO FURTHER MATURE THE DESIGN AND REDUCE RISK. TECHNOLOGIES AND SUBSYSTEMS WITH COMMERCIAL SPACE APPLICATIONS WILL BE IDENTIFIED BY SNC FOR USE IN EXPANDING SNC'S COMMERCIAL SPACE GOALS. ADDITIONALLY, THE TOTAL PROGRAM COSTS FOR EXECUTION THROUGH PHASE 2 WILL BE CONTINUALLY REFINED THROUGHOUT THE STUDY, AND CULMINATE IN A PROPOSAL FOR A FOLLOW-ON CONTRACT. THE PROPOSED SYSTEM ALLOWS FOR FLEXIBLE MATING OPTIONS TO CONNECT AND ACCOMMODATE A VARIETY OF ELEMENTS, INCLUDING DIFFERENT HABITAT ELEMENTS AND A DOCKING DESTINATION FOR NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION'S (NASA) ORION SPACECRAFT.

BAA R&D - THE NEXT SPACE TECHNOLOGIES FOR EXPLORATION PARTNERSHIPS -2 (NEXTSTEP-2) APPENDIX F: LOGISTICS REDUCTION (LR) IN SPACE BY TRASH COMPACTION AND PROCESSING SYSTEM (TCPS) BROAD AGENCY ANNOUNCEMENT (BAA) WAS ORIGINALLY ISSUED JULY 3, 2018. PROPOSALS WERE RECEIVED AND EVALUATED AND SELECTIONS OF SUCCESSFUL PROPOSALS ANNOUNCED OCTOBER 5, 2018. NASA ISSUED THIS SOLICITATION TO SOLICIT IDEAS AND TECHNOLOGIES TO ADVANCE TRASH COMPACTION AND PROCESSING (TCPS) CAPABILITIES. TRASH PROCESSING ENABLES REDUCTION IN MASS, VOLUME, AND THE CREW TIME DEDICATED TO LOGISTICS MANAGEMENT. THE CURRENT APPROACH TO TRASH MANAGEMENT ENTAILS MANUALLY COMPACTING, TEMPORARILY STORING IT, AND THEN DISPOSING OF THE TRASH EITHER BY RETURN TO EARTH OR INCINERATION DURING REENTRY IN A DISPOSABLE SUPPLY VEHICLE. LONG DISTANCES FROM EARTH AND LENGTHY DURATIONS WITH LIMITED OR NO RESUPPLY WILL CHARACTERIZE FUTURE HUMAN MISSIONS. RETURNING TRASH TO EARTH WILL BE IMPRACTICAL, JETTISONING DURING THE MISSION CAN RESULT IN LOSS OF VALUABLE RECOVERABLE RESOURCES AND DISPOSING OF IT LOCALLY MAY POSE A PLANETARY PROTECTION RISK, IF LEFT UNTREATED..NASA NEEDS A SYSTEM THAT CAN HANDLE ASTRONAUT TRASH IN SITU RATHER THAN DISPOSING OF IT OVERBOARD. HOWEVER, STORING TRASH INSIDE A SPACECRAFT CREATES PHYSICAL AND BIOLOGICAL HAZARDS FOR THE CREW, CONSUMES CRITICAL HABITAT VOLUME, AND SEQUESTERS POTENTIALLY VALUABLE RESOURCES. THIS WAS ONE OF THE SUCCESSFUL PROPOSALS FOR RESEARCH CONTRACTS IN AREAS FOR DESIGN, FABRICATION, AND TESTING OF CRITICAL COMPONENTS FOR A TCPS THAT COMPACTS TRASH TO REDUCE STORAGE VOLUME, RENDERS IT BIOLOGICALLY AND PHYSICALLY SAFE AND STABLE, RECOVERS TRAPPED RESOURCES, AND FORMS RESIDUAL MATERIAL INTO A STORABLE, POTENTIALLY USEFUL PRODUCT.
