MERRITT ISLAND, FLORIDA — All Points Logistics, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business based in Merritt Island, Florida, was awarded a $250 million Air Force contract for space vehicle processing at Vandenberg Space Force Base, California, as announced on war.gov.

The firm-fixed-price award covers space vehicle processing facilities, with work expected to finish by July 30, 2029. The contract emerged from a competitive acquisition that drew four offers. Space Systems Command at Los Angeles Air Force Base, California, is the contracting activity under identifier FA8802-26-C-0005.

All Points Logistics was founded in 1997 and provides program management, engineering, information technology, cybersecurity and integrated logistics services to federal, civilian and defense agencies according to hsvchamber.org. The company operates under the leadership of Phil Monkress, a U.S. Navy veteran who assumed full ownership in 2009, and has supported clients including NASA, Lockheed Martin and the U.S. Army according to speedcommerce.com.

The award marks a step into a new line of business for the firm. All Points has been developing a “Space Prep” offering that provides space launch infrastructure-as-a-service, including payload processing facilities according to satelliteinnovation.com. The company employs roughly 300 people and keeps personnel at Vandenberg, Huntsville, Houston, Denver and other sites across the country according to satelliteinnovation.com.

“We want to make the hard things easy,” the company said on its website according to Google, describing a mission built around customer-centric logistics and sustainable growth.

The contract carries outsized weight for a small business. It represents the first award recorded for All Points Logistics in the tracked contract database and brings its total contract value for 2026 to $250 million. The award ranks as the 46th Department of Defense contract issued in Florida during 2026, and it was the only such contract announced nationwide on July 28, 2026.

For Vandenberg, the deal supports the processing of satellites and other spacecraft before launch, work that feeds the growing cadence of West Coast missions. A steady pipeline of national security and commercial launches depends on ground facilities that prepare vehicles for flight, and the base handles polar and sun-synchronous orbits that eastern ranges cannot reach.

The average American rarely sees space vehicle processing, yet the work underpins the satellites that carry weather data, GPS signals and secure military communications. Reliable ground infrastructure keeps launch schedules on track, which in turn keeps those services flowing to phones, farms and airlines.

Small firms have broken into major space work before. Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses receive set-aside contracts across the Defense Department each year, and All Points has built more than 26 years of engineering and logistics experience serving aerospace clients according to satelliteinnovation.com. This award, however, stands as its largest recorded single contract.

Space Systems Command will oversee performance and payments through the completion date of July 30, 2029. The command has not announced a date for any follow-on award or option decision tied to the facilities.

Space vehicle processing at Vandenberg carries a long history, as launch operations there stretch back decades. The base sent its first Thor missile aloft in December 1958, and it later became the primary U.S. site for polar-orbit launches. Over the following decades the range supported hundreds of national security missions, and the facilities that prepare each vehicle have determined whether those launches held to schedule.

This contract represents the 1st contract awarded to All Points Logistics, in 2026, bringing the company’s total contract value for the year to $250,000,000. It is also the 46th Department of Defense contract awarded in Florida during 2026. Because this is the first award to All Points Logistics recorded in the database, it establishes the company’s initial benchmark within the Air Force portfolio. Specifically, it falls between the 2026 Air Force portfolio’s year-to-date minimum of $17 and maximum of $5,600,000,000. Overall, this award was announced among 1 Department of Defense contract issued nationwide on July 28, 2026.
