The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has obligated $22,437,793,941 under its prime contract with The Boeing Company for the International Space Station (ISS), according to USASpending.gov contract records.

The contract, numbered NAS1510000, was awarded November 15, 1993 and is administered by NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. Boeing serves as the prime contractor for the ISS program, providing systems engineering, integration, and operations support for the orbital research platform.

For aerospace and defense contractors in the GovCon marketplace, the ISS program represents a long-running, large-scale federal space infrastructure contract with extensive subcontracting and teaming arrangements. The program involves a broad supply chain of aerospace systems, life support, logistics, and ground operations contractors.

The ISS is scheduled for deorbit in January 2030, and NASA has been actively planning the transition to commercial low-Earth orbit (LEO) destinations through its Commercial LEO Destinations (CLD) program. Contractors tracking the future of NASA's human spaceflight infrastructure should monitor CLD solicitations and potential follow-on work as the ISS retirement approaches.

NASA's Johnson Space Center manages the ISS program and related human spaceflight contracts. Procurement opportunities related to ISS follow-on work are posted through Sam.gov under NASA solicitations.
