From #SpaceNews on the #SpaceX contract to build an #ISS deorbit vehicle for #NASA.
It's interesting that this is *not* a "commercial" contract like cargo and crew. SpaceX will build the vehicle then sell it to NASA, which will operate it, not SpaceX.
NASA will hold a separate bid for the launch vehicle.
All that said, I suspect that, in the end, SpaceX will do it all with NASA oversight.
