Thanks you for this. That means that in the original wording:

>Last month, NASA said it would pay SpaceX its largest single contract ever, $2.6 billion

The word "its" is an ambiguous pronoun - those who read it to mean "NASA" are left confused, since it seems like NASA just went around awarding even larger contracts. In fact, I think it's not only ambiguous, but in the most obvious interpretation of that sentence, it does indeed sound like NASA's biggest single awarded contract ever.
