Barrios Technology

What Barrios Technology does

Barrios Technology is a privately held, woman-owned aerospace engineering services firm founded in 1980 in Houston, Texas, providing mission integration, systems engineering, software engineering, program integration, data analytics, and flight/ground operations to NASA human spaceflight programs (ISS, Orion, Gateway, SLS, commercial crew) and to commercial space companies including Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Sierra Space, Intuitive Machines, Blue Origin, and Dynetics. The firm operates on-site teams across all major NASA centers (JSC, KSC, MSFC, ARC, LaRC, NASA HQ) plus Colorado and Texas commercial sites, and delivers its Mission Technical Integration Contract (MTIC) as its largest engagement.

The company's technical footprint is anchored by proprietary software including the MIDAS (Mission Integration Database Applications System) platform, which won NASA JSC's Exceptional Software Award and coordinates the ISS flight manifest, and the Barrios.io data and analytics platform providing database management, business intelligence, visualizations, forecasting, and trending. Additional capabilities include Model-Based Systems Engineering, full-stack custom application development on .NET and Python stacks integrated with SharePoint and JIRA, and an internal iCORE Data Analytics team that builds predictive models using machine learning methods. The firm maintains ISO9001 and AS9100 certifications and holds two NASA George M. Low Awards for Quality and Excellence.

Barrios generates revenue through professional services on multi-year government prime contracts (cost-plus and fixed-price), DoD IDIQ task orders following the December 2025 SHIELD award, and on-site or remote commercial spaceflight support engagements. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales led by a VP of Growth, a Strategic Growth Advisor, and dedicated VPs for Government Services and Commercial Spaceflight. The leadership team includes former NASA astronauts, NASA's first female Hispanic Flight Director, and senior ex-NASA officials — a talent profile that underpins its mission-critical positioning. Kelly Page assumed the combined President & CEO role on October 31, 2025 following the retirement of founder Sandy Johnson.
