# Space Force Adds $95M to GPS IIIF Contract

On October 30, 2026, the U.S. Space Force awarded Lockheed Martin a $95 million modification to its GPS III Follow-On production contract, bringing the contract’s cumulative face value to $4.73 billion. The modification addresses production-line impacts from a prior year-long order hiatus; it does not add spacecraft. Options for future production of space vehicles 25 and 26 remain dependent on FY2027 budget decisions.

- The change adjusts the existing production contract rather than creating additional spacecraft work. Contractors and suppliers should distinguish this production-line adjustment from new vehicle procurement when assessing demand.
- The GPS IIIF contract’s cumulative value is $4.73 billion, and a separate June 2026 award covered vehicles 23 and 24 for $514 million. These awards indicate continued production activity, but the next vehicle options are not yet assured.
- Companies in the GPS supply chain can use the FY2027 budget dependency when planning capacity and communicating the timing and uncertainty of potential follow-on work.
