I won't look up all the space launch providers for you - but, I put a

a few people that organize the resources of larger companies for
customers.

ILS International Launch Services, Inc. Company Profile
Cold War warriors would scarce believe it: a US defense contractor in
business with a (former) Soviet Union space company?!
"But...but...they'll see the big board!" Believe it or not,
International Launch Services (ILS) is, in fact, a joint venture
between Lockheed Martin and the Khrunichev State Research and
Production Space Center. ILS gets payloads into orbit using venerable
Atlas and Proton launch vehicles as well as the new Angara family of
vehicles. The venture, which boasts of some 80 years of experience and
900 launches between the parties, maintains launch sites in Cape
Canaveral, Florida, and Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan.

How does this dovetail with US law? Isn't there a law prohibiting
direct competion between state run and privately run industry. Ares
lives on a massive government subsidy. This is unfair.
