Intuitive Machines is proud to announce our selection by the Space Force's Space Systems Command for the Andromeda $6.24B IDIQ contract

Intuitive Machines has officially announced their selection by the Space Force's for $6.24B Andromeda (RG-XX) and SG-XX previously part of the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) SilentBarker Surveillance constellation.

For more information and additional details, see earlier threads on this subject:

https://www.reddit.com/r/IntuitiveMachines/comments/1t4du83/space_systems_command_to_modify_andromeda_idiq/

https://www.reddit.com/r/IntuitiveMachines/comments/1sgem1l/space_force_awards_14_companies_up_to_18b_for/

Also, this article has some specific comments from the Space Force spokesperson:

https://www.airandspaceforces.com/space-force-andromeda-rg-xx-sg-xx-contract/

>“Shortly before the award decision, the space reconnaissance and surveillance budget for Fiscal Year 2027 was significantly increased to address the escalating threat environment projected for [calendar year] 2030+,” the Space Force said in the notice. “The revised budget results in increased demand for the same requirements already encompassed within the Andromeda [Multi-Award Contract] IDIQ.”

>A Space Systems Command spokesperson told Air & Space Forces Magazine the ceiling increase will support both RG-XX and SG-XX, though the solicitation for the surveillance satellites is not expected until this fall. The spokesperson said the vendors chosen to compete last month are not specific to RG-XX, but may respond to solicitations for either effort.

>The Space Force’s fiscal ‘27 budget request includes $355 million for RG-XX to fund satellite design and manufacturing as well as additional contract awards and experimentation. The service plans to field the satellites in increments, with the first batch launching in 2029 and the second in 2030. The budget also funds ground system development. Future-year projections show the service spending nearly $2.8 billion on the program between fiscal ‘27 and ‘31, hitting a peak of about $1 billion in fiscal ‘29. 

>For SG-XX, the Space Force wants $370 million in fiscal ‘27 to continue funding satellite development and to prepare for the launch of the first increment in 2030. The budget also would fund a two-satellite prototype demonstration called YSG-XX, which is slated to launch in 2028. The service’s five-year projection calls for $1.7 billion between fiscal ‘27 and fiscal ‘31.

What Is the Scope of the Planned Contract Modification?

According to a special notice published Monday on SAM.gov, Space Systems Command, through System Delta 89, intends to issue a sole-source modification to raise the shared ceiling by $4.4 billion from the original $1.84 billion value. The contract vehicle supports the acquisition of space-based space domain awareness technologies.

The effort covers systems engineering, design and prototyping, system build and integration, demonstrations and operational support. Work may also include analysis and studies supporting space domain awareness mission functions, including space-based surveillance and reconnaissance.

Which Contractors Are Part of the Andromeda IDIQ?

The Andromeda contract includes 14 awardees selected in April 2026 following a competitive process. Participants include:

Anduril
Astranis
BAE Systems
General Atomics
Intuitive Machines
L3Harris Technologies
Lockheed Martin
Millennium Space Systems
Northrop Grumman
Quantum Space
Redwire Space Missions
Sierra Space
True Anomaly
Turion Space

Why Is the Ceiling Being Raised?

The fiscal year 2027 budget for space reconnaissance and surveillance was expanded to address projected threats beyond 2030, driving higher demand for requirements already covered under the Andromeda contract. While the contract vehicle allows for adding new vendors annually, the notice does not request proposals. The planned modification is intended to prevent delays in issuing delivery orders and mitigate potential mission impacts.
