York Space Systems (York), the Denver-based aerospace company dedicated to the rapid deployment of complete space mission solutions, today announced its selection by the U.S. Space Force for a $237 million Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to procure small satellites supporting national security missions. The contract award is designed to enable faster and more flexible acquisition of spacecraft, integration, and launch support.

The award highlights York's role as a trusted partner for defense space programs and builds on the company's launch of its Space Systems Services offering, designed to provide mission-ready space capabilities under a commercial framework. This new contract vehicle provides a streamlined path for the Space Force to access York's rapidly scalable production model and operational spacecraft services.

"This award is another important step forward in how our national security partners are leveraging proven commercial providers to meet urgent and evolving mission requirements," said Melanie Preisser, GM and Executive VP of York. "York has been demonstrating for years that we can deliver high-performance, affordable satellites fast and at scale. We're thrilled to be selected and ready to respond at the speed of need as these missions are conceived and then activated under this contract."

This new contract supports a range of future missions, including remote proximity operations, space situational awareness, and Golden Dome demonstrations. York satellites performing these missions, and several others have all been built, integrated, and tested in Denver, Colorado, leveraging a now fully scaled domestic supply chain that continues to operate at high throughput.

"This contract opens the door for the Space Force to field resilient capabilities with the speed and agility the moment demands," said Michael Lajczok, CTO of York. "We're proud to be a part of this exciting new procurement framework and look forward to supporting a wide range of mission types that strengthen our nation's security."

York's inclusion in the contract reflects the Department of Defense's continued shift toward proven commercial partners to deliver space-based capabilities at speed and scale.
