The sale of United Launch Alliance (ULA), one of the world's most important rocket companies, may be imminent. Potential buyers have been contacted about the opportunity, and investment firm Morgan Stanley and consulting firm Bain & Company are managing the transaction. ULA was officially formed in 2005 as a merger of Lockheed Martin and Boeing's launch businesses, each taking a 50 percent stake, and has held a monopoly on launching national security missions. However, the emergence of SpaceX in the early 2010s disrupted ULA's profitable arrangement, and in recent years, SpaceX has dominated ULA in terms of cadence.
