About THE AEROSPACE CORPORATION federal contract activity
THE AEROSPACE CORPORATION recorded $1.11 billion in obligated federal spending across 546 awards in the last full year, for an average award value of about $2.04 million. Activity was concentrated in a relatively small number of high-value obligations, indicating a mix of large programmatic awards and a much larger count of smaller transactions.
Agency mix and customer concentration
The DEPT OF THE AIR FORCE dominated the vendor’s federal footprint, accounting for $944.36 million across 23 awards, or the clear majority of total obligation. NASA was the second-largest customer by volume of awards, with 466 awards totaling $103.61 million, while the DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY, NOAA, and US GEOLOGICAL SURVEY contributed smaller but meaningful amounts. This mix shows strong dependence on defense and space-related civilian science agencies.
Industry profile based on NAICS activity
Obligations were overwhelmingly classified under NAICS 541715, which alone represented $1.11 billion across 465 awards and effectively defines the vendor’s core federal business as R&D in the physical, engineering, and life sciences. The remaining categories were marginal by comparison, with small amounts in guided missile and space vehicle manufacturing and scientific consulting. Negative obligation in NAICS 541330 suggests deobligations or net downward adjustments in that line of business during the period.
Annual contract trend over the analysis window
The annual trend shows all recorded activity in 2025, with $1.11 billion obligated across 546 awards. Because the analysis window is limited to the last full year, the trend does not show multi-year growth or decline; it instead indicates that current-year obligations were substantial and heavily concentrated in that single fiscal year.
How to interpret this page
This summary is based on FPDS-observed obligations tied to CAGE 12782 and UEI YA8LJBJCND19 during the last full year. Totals reflect obligated dollars and award counts as reported in the provided dataset; category groupings are based on the highest-obligation agencies and NAICS codes, and negative values are retained where the source data indicates deobligation or adjustment activity.

Insight
THE AEROSPACE CORPORATION’s obligations in the last full year were highly concentrated in NAICS 541715, which accounted for about 1.11 billion of 1.11 billion total obligated dollars and 465 of 546 awards. The remaining activity was limited and fragmented across a small set of NAICS codes, with only minor positive obligations in 336414 and 541690 and offsetting deobligations in 541330 and 541712. This pattern indicates a procurement profile dominated by research and development in the physical, engineering, and life sciences, with limited spending dispersion outside that core category.
