Delivery Order #80NM0026F7058

Delivery Order for Lunar Deployable Arm System by Caltech

This award represents a delivery order contract issued under a broader indefinite delivery contract managed by the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), which operates NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Caltech, a leading nonprofit educational and research institution, is tasked with advancing aerospace technologies. The contract focuses on delivering and demonstrating a deployable arm system designed for lunar surface technology demonstration, known as the Cold Operable Lunar Deployable Arm (COLDARM). This contract is significant as it contributes to NASA's lunar exploration capabilities, supporting innovative surface technology demonstrations on the Moon. The scope of work encompasses the development, delivery, and demonstration of the COLDARM system, aimed at enhancing robotic operations in the lunar environment. This delivery order was competitively issued as part of ongoing NASA technology development efforts under the parent indefinite delivery contract, which is a sole-source arrangement with Caltech due to its unique role in managing the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The contract’s performance is set over a multi-year timeline, spanning from late 2026 through 2028, with operations based in Pasadena, California. The contract falls under a high-profile NASA program with historical significance, building upon a substantial base contract that governs Jet Propulsion Laboratory operations and related research activities.
