All Points Awarded On-Ramp to NASA Spacecraft Processing and Operations Contract

August 18, 2026

On August 18, 2026, Merritt Island-based technical services firm All Points Logistics announced it received an on-ramp selection for NASA’s multi-award Spacecraft Processing and Operations Contract (SPOC).


The contract addition allows the company to compete for task orders covering prelaunch satellite processing, integration, fueling, and ground support operations at both Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida and Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.

Contract Scope and Service Delivery Architecture

Under the SPOC vehicle, All Points will deliver specialized launch site infrastructure and logistics for civil space, science, and exploration payloads. The contract scope encompasses hazardous fueling operations, cleanroom processing, high-bay integration, payload encapsulation, and transportation to the launch pad across multiple rocket launch providers.

The SPOC award leverages the company’s dedicated Space Prep initiative, an infrastructure model designed to provide multi-user, commercial launch support facilities that eliminate the need for satellite operators to build dedicated ground facilities.

Expanding Commercial and Defense Spaceport Footprint

The NASA contract award follows significant infrastructure expansions for All Points across 2026. On July 29, 2026, the U.S. Space Force Space Systems Command awarded All Points a $250 million firm-fixed-price contract under the National Security Space Launch (NSSL) program to expand space vehicle processing capacity at Vandenberg Space Force Base.

Additionally, the company finalized a 50-year lease agreement for a 60-acre parcel at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. The lease underpins the development of a 260,000-square-foot spacecraft processing facility alongside a 270,000-square-foot logistics center to support rising launch cadences on the Space Coast.

Operational Timeline and Spaceport Support

With the SPOC on-ramp finalized, All Points will immediately begin bidding on upcoming NASA mission processing task orders. Construction of the company’s new commercial processing infrastructure at KSC and Vandenberg is slated to advance through 2028 and 2029 to meet scheduled launch manifests for both NASA and defense space customers.
