All Points Logistics Wins $250 Million Contract for Vandenberg Spacecraft Processing Facility

All Points Logistics has been awarded a $250 million contract by the U.S. Space Force to design and build a commercially owned Spacecraft Processing Center at Vandenberg Space Force Base, expanding payload processing capacity for national security, civil, and commercial space missions.

The new facility will be constructed within Vandenberg's Mission Development Zone and will complement the company's existing operations at Space Launch Complex 2.

Designed under an Infrastructure-as-a-Service model, the center will remain commercially owned and operated while supporting U.S. Space Force mission requirements through a combination of private investment and government funding.

The processing center will feature multiple high- and low-bay integration areas, dual payload encapsulation bays, blast-rated hazardous processing facilities, secure mission spaces, conditioned storage, and advanced communications systems.

The design will allow multiple spacecraft to be processed simultaneously, increasing launch throughput, reducing scheduling bottlenecks, and supporting tactically responsive space operations.

The award further expands All Points Logistics' growing space infrastructure portfolio, which also includes a 65-acre NASA land lease at Kennedy Space Center where the company is developing more than 540,000 square feet of spacecraft processing and logistics facilities.
