Bummer for Lockheed Martin. I’d wonder how many contracts NASA would be
throwing their way, but as a government agency, aren’t they sorta required to
always go with the lowest bid?

No. Why would you think so?
Most(1) government RFPs state “award will be made to the offer which
demonstrates the best overall value to the government considering price,
technical merit and past performance.”
I’d say LM’s past performance is going to start to weigh against them in future
bidding awards.
If you use Google to search with the string “nasa required to go with lowest
bidder” you’ll find lots of interesting results.

1 - At least most of the ones I’ve personally helped fill out the responses to
do not say lowest bidder wins. Perhaps most of the ones you’ve responded to
don’t, I can’t say.
