Federal contracting in Colorado

Colorado's federal footprint is built around space and missile-defense missions: Schriever SFB (Space Operations Command + GPS constellation control), Buckley SFB (missile warning), Peterson SFB (NORAD / NORTHCOM), Cheyenne Mountain Space Force Station, Fort Carson (4th Infantry Division), and the U.S. Air Force Academy. NREL (DOE National Renewable Energy Lab) in Golden, NIST Boulder labs, NOAA Boulder (Earth System Research Lab + Space Weather Prediction Center), and USGS Denver are major science buyers. NORAD's binational mission plus U.S. Northern Command HQ make Colorado Springs a defense-IT and command-and-control spending hub.
