Redwire Lands $25M NASA Contract for ISS Support Services

Redwire has been awarded a $25M IDIQ contract by NASA for a five-year period to provide biotechnology facilities, on-orbit operations support, mission integration, and related services for the agency on the International Space Station. The contract has a $25M ceiling and Redwire was recently issued a $2.5M task order to support drug development investigations on the ISS using its PIL-BOX technology.

Redwire Corporation has been awarded a $25 million, five-year indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract by NASA to provide biotechnology facilities, on-orbit operations support, mission integration, and related services for the International Space Station (ISS). This contract, with a ceiling of $25 million, was announced on August 28, 2025 [2].

The contract includes a recent $2.5 million task order from NASA's In Space Production Applications (InSPA) program, which will support additional drug development investigations on the ISS using Redwire's PIL-BOX technology [1]. Redwire will provide turnkey services to manage, integrate, and facilitate experiments and support on-orbit operations for NASA-funded research investigations aboard the ISS.

Redwire's capabilities are intended to support the diverse set of life and materials sciences research investigations that NASA processes every year. The company's expertise in microgravity research and development technologies has enabled it to support notable research partners such as Bristol Myers Squibb, Eli Lilly and Company, and Butler University [2].

Redwire's PIL-BOX technology, which allows for the growth of crystals in microgravity, has been a key asset in advancing space biotechnology and pharmaceutical development. The company recently formed SpaceMD, a new entity focused on growing seed crystals in orbit for use on Earth to create new and reformulated pharmaceuticals [2].

This contract underscores Redwire's role as a global leader in space and defense technology solutions, with a strong focus on biotechnology and microgravity research. The company's approximately 1,300 employees are committed to delivering innovative space and airborne platforms that transform multi-domain operations [2].
