Agency(契約機関)はCareerモードで契約と成功報酬、評価を提供する組織または団体である。契約機関にはパーツメーカーと2つの独立行政法人がある。

契約機関一覧

ロゴ	機関名	ゲーム内の説明
	C7 Aerospace Division (C7 航空宇宙事業部)	N/A
	Dinkelstein Kerman's Construction Emporium (ディンケルシュタイン・カルマン建材)	ディンケルシュタイン・カルマンは航空宇宙業界では伝説になっており、公式記録に残っているよりはるか以前に宇宙船を造って飛ばしたと主張しているのは特に印象的である。この主張のためKerbin世界一記録管理協会とは論争が起きており両者はギクシャクした関係になっている。それはそれとして、ディンケルシュタイン社は一般には伝統的で昔かたぎな企業として評価されており、同社の製品は社長のようには錆び付いてはいない。
	Experimental Engineering Group (実験工学グループ)	実験工学グループは典型的なベンチャー企業で、低予算と信じられないほど厳しい納期が常態化している。創業間もないにもかかわらず、非常に教育的で面白いSC-9001 Science Jr.実験キットの開発に成功し、同社は良いスタートを切っている。しかしながら代表の勇猛な努力も空しく、R&D所属科学者の飼っていたペットと同社製品の間で起きた事故映像が流出してから続く悪評を払拭できないでいる。噂によるとこの事故以来、同社は自社製品に近づく際の安全性を極端に気にするようになったらしい。ロゴの角すらも丸めることにした。
	FLOOYD Dynamics Research Labs (フローイド力学研究所)	フローイド研究所は液体移動技術のみに専念している企業である。同社の主力製品FTX-2 Fuel Ductは長年の研究の集大成であり、無限とも言えるKerbin時間を開発製造に掛けた製品であり、どんな温度・密度・揮発性の液体でもいくらでも移動させられる装置である。業界への重要な貢献度に値する好評に恵まれ同社も概ね受け入れている。かつての製品FTX-1が滞りなく逆流する些細だが非常に重大な欠陥で製品回収が行われた同社の失態を思い出すものはもういない。
	Goliath National Products (ゴリアテ物産)	N/A
	Integrated Integrals (インテグレーテッドインテグラル)	この小さな会社には経験と評価が欠けているが、野心が垣間見える企画がそれを補っている。同社最初の製品は非常に大規模な移動実験室だった。噂では当製品は元々違法な新型混合燃料の密造施設として開発されたといわれており、 その燃料は現在ある推進剤よりはるかに強力で独特な青みを帯びていたとされる。しかしこの種の噂には証拠が無く、神秘的なブルーの推進剤は信頼ある文献には未だに登場しない。噂を払拭すべく何度も試みているが、同社は現在もこの(恐らく不当な)悪評に苦しんでいる。第一印象の悪さを埋め合わせるため同社は同規模他社よりも高い現金報酬を用意しているが、企業イメージの改善にはつながっていない。
	Ionic Symphonic Protonic Electronics	One of the leading names in spacecraft electronics, and not just because the name itself sounds so cool. Ionic Symphonic Protonic Electronics has a large catalogue of components, ranging from simple comms devices to seriously cutting edge gear. This has made their products quite popular among aerospace engineers, and also nurtured a profound enmity from the pragmatic folks at Probodobodyne.
	Jebediah Kerman's Junkyard and Spacecraft Parts Co. (ジェバダイア・カルマン廃品流通宇宙船部品商会)	It is universally agreed that Jeb's Junkyard is one the best examples of the triumph of unwavering motivation in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds. The unassuming junkyard where it is said some of Kerbalkind's first steps towards the depths of space have been taken, has now become a much larger junkyard, as it had to expand its facilities to accommodate the ever greater demand for spacecraft components. Jeb's Junkyard has become one of Kerbin's most iconic names, becoming far more than just a beloved brand. It now stands proudly as a symbol of the unstoppable Kerbal drive towards attempting the impossible while grossly underestimating the gravity of the situation.
	Kerbal Motion LLC(有限会社カーバルモーション)	N/A
	Kerbin World-Firsts Record-Keeping Society (カービン世界一記録管理協会)	An institution completely devoted to the tracking and curating all first instances of any event, the Kerbin World-Firsts Record-Keeping Society is a  non-profit organization, for the purpose of rewarding the doing of anything that's never been done before, especially concerning feats of space exploration. Their work is more challenging than it would seem however, as the prestige associated with the first-ever accomplishment of any deed is also a valuable target for commercial companies, who wouldn't waste the opportunity to be the official sponsor of such an event. Taking on the Society's contracts will definitely send the message that you're not in it for the money, which is always a good message to send. It's also just about the only reward, since the cash prizes are mostly symbolic.
	Kerbodyne (カーボダイン)	Although Kerbodyne is a relatively new name in the aerospace industry, their K series engines and fuel tanks have earned them a quite a reputation in a short amount of time. So much so in fact, that Kerbodyne was nominated for the "Best Debut" Award, at last year's Spacecraft Developers Convention. Unfortunately, that prize went to another company, but Kerbodyne fans are known to demonstrate loudly and publicly, their appreciation for the company and its products.
	Kerlington Model Rockets and Paper Products Inc. (カーリントンモデルロケット紙製品株式会社)	Kerlington has a long history of introducing ground-breaking new technologies, many of which are now considered indispensable for rocketry and aerospace engineering. This has fostered a strong community of loyal Kerlington fans, as well as a similarly large group of disgruntled competitors.
	Maxo Construction Toys (マクソブロック玩具)	N/A
	Moving Parts Experts Group (稼動部品技巧グループ)	The Moving Parts Experts Group started off as a mostly non-commercial initiative to bring some of the brightest minds together to create truly innovative and ground-breaking technologies for spacecraft construction. As is the case with many such enterprises, their initial investment funds very soon ran out and they were forced to start developing stuff that they could sell, quickly. As a result, the Group acquired a reputation for being always in a hurry, and always strapped for cash. They still try their best to stay true to their original motivations as much as possible though, and will always be willing to support any ventures that push the currently established boundaries.
	O.M.B. Demolition Enterprises (オーエムビー解体工業)	For a company that made a reputation by creating as much destruction as possible, O.M.B. has found a remarkably suitable place for its highly volatile devices in the aerospace industry. Their precision Decouplers are second to none when the job calls for splitting spacecraft into multiple smaller ones. Some of their other demolition products however, despite being heavily advertised as far more powerful disassembly tools, weren't nearly as successful. O.M.B. is still unsure as to why those "clearly better" products weren't so well received.
	Periapsis Rocket Supplies Co. (ペリアプシスロケット用品社)	N/A
	Probodobodyne Inc. ((株)無人機時代の力)	Probodobodyne was at one point one of the leading (and few) names in the industry. Over the years though, the company has fallen behind the times somewhat, but they continue to maintain their philosophy that space exploration should be the privilege of the few who can overcome the challenges of conquering it, with minimal technological assistance. Their products reflect that pragmatic and arguably obsolete outlook, even in spite of the many newer companies that are coming up around them with alternatives that make space travel far more accessible than it was back in the "early days". Despite all this, the company has retained a small but loyal following of hardcore fans, who live by their vision of a very selective industry, populated only by the very best astronauts and engineers.
	Research & Development Department (研究開発部門)	The Space Program's own Research & Development Department. Headed by celebrity rocket scientist Wernher von Kerman, these guys are the brains of the whole operation. Driven by an unquenchable thirst for knowledge, no piece of data is too small or too irrelevant, and increasing the accumulated knowledge of Kerbalkind is their main motivation. Our resident geniuses only ask to be given due academic credit for their contributions to science, and that all astronauts PLEASE refrain from entering the labs without cleaning their boots first.
	Reaction Systems Ltd. (有限会社リアクションシステムズ)	Reaction Systems is a small company, which enjoyed a reasonable amount of success with their one successful product, the Place-Anywhere Linear RCS Port. These days, nobody knows for certain what they're working on. Even though Reaction Systems is most definitely not the largest company out there, they try to make up for it by supporting all pioneering endeavours. Also, their eagerness to offer science-gathering contracts lends credit to speculation that they may be up to something.
	Rockomax Conglomerate (ロックオマックスグループ)	Indisputably the largest supplier of rocketry components out there, Rockomax products are widely regarded as the most accessible way to get into space. This has earned them a somewhat negative reputation among the more posh or avant-garde engineers, some even outright refusing to admit to having used Rockomax-Brand products. Be that as it may, Rockomax's gigantic presence in the industry cannot be gainsaid, and their products are actually pretty good value, even if they do lack that 'trendy' feel of the more up-scale rocketry brands. They are a massively large corporation, so don't expect them to cut you very special deals. They are already giving all their customers a bulk discount, plus their 'super-value' deals when using products from their partner brands. All this provided, of course, that you have your membership card with you when you go shopping at their warehouses.
	Rokea Inc. (ロケア株式会社)	Rokea is mainly known for their 'vertical mobility enhancer' products, which they go to great lengths to ensure are not mistaken by simplistic 'ladders'. Some say they are failing miserably in that effort, even though every Rokea representative will very eagerly educate all who come within earshot about the differences between ladders and a vertical mobility enhancement device. Perhaps this communications strategy is part of the reason nobody cares.
	Sean's Cannery (ショーン缶詰工場)	Many question the reasoning behind Sean's Cannery's -known for their very excellent canned foods products- incursion into the aerospace engineering world. Despite the criticism, none can dispute that their flagship product, the Lander Can Mk1 Cockpit, has proven itself many times over as a reliable and perhaps not surprisingly, one of the most air-tight crew carrying modules available today. Lander Can crews often praise the module for its ability to keep stowed snacks crisp and fresh, and complain of how on other pods they become mushy after just a few days into the mission.
	STEADLER Engineering Corps (ステッドラー精工)	STEADLER is not known for being a very kind or yielding company. Rather, militaristic, stern and uncompromising are much more fitting adjectives to describe them. Some say these are good qualities for a company responsible mainly for engineering control systems for rockets and hypersonic aircraft, while others suggest that the company is actually being run by a rogue Guidance Module that achieved sentience. All we really know is that their gate security is much too Temperamental to allow for any observation, and that their stun guns recharge very quickly.
	StrutCo (支柱社)	One of the largest manufacturers of structural components for any purpose, StrutCo is by all measures a very well-established company. The only thing they have never been able to get over is the fact that the legendary EAS-4 Strut Connector itself was actually invented by Kerlington Model Rockets.
	Vac-Co Advanced Suction Systems (ヴァッコ先進吸気システム社)	Vac-Co is a relatively new name in the industry. With previous experience only as a manufacturer of housecleaning equipment and small appliances, their recent venture into aerospace engineering has been met with no small amount of skepticism. Nevertheless, they seem to know what they're doing, as their products have been quite innovative in the air intakes for spaceplanes sector.
	WinterOwl Aircraft Emporium(シロフクロウ航空機商会)	WinterOwl is by no means comparable to other large aircraft companies in terms of sheer number of products they offer. However, the company is one of the best-known names in the industry as it's one of the oldest companies in operation. This has earned them a reputation for being a friendly, reliable partner, which means they have good standings with many other companies. In the aerospace circles, it is considered very poor manners to be rude about WinterOwl or its products.
	Zaltonic Electronics (ザルトニック電子)	Zaltonics isn't exactly known as a strong leader in the electronic components industry, rather more as a somewhat utilitarian company that lacks a certain amount of ambition. These traits however, have made Zaltonic indispensable in their own way, as they are willing to take on the manufacturing of the less exciting devices, and they've become quite good at doing that in a quick and cost-effective way. Their products might not be all the rage, but when your fancy remote guidance unit runs out of juice, chances are you'll be using a Zaltonics battery to keep it powered.

Naming differences

All agencies are defined in GameData/Squad/Agencies/Agents.cfg where some manufacturers differ from the manufacturer given in the respective parts. If the last character of manufacturer's name is a period to abbreviate the type of business, that period is omitted in the configuration file. There is also ROKEA Inc. written with only the first letter in upper case and while the agency is named as Jebediah Kerman's Junkyard and Spacecraft Parts Co. the manufacturer is given as Jebediah Kerman's Junkyard and Spaceship Parts Co. (Spacecraft instead of Spaceship).
