NASA EXERCISES OPTION ON MISSION OPERATIONS SUPPORT CONTRACT

HOUSTON -- NASA is exercising an $80.5 million flex option on the
Facilities Development and Operations Contract with Lockheed Martin
Corp. of Gaithersburg, Md.

The level-of-effort flex option takes advantage of hours that were
negotiated for the contract award in 2009 and increases the ceiling
for the base contract period. The period of performance for the
contract remains Jan. 1, 2009, through Sept. 30, 2013.

Under the contract, Lockheed Martin provides support for the hardware,
software, data and displays systems used in preparation for and
performance of all human spaceflight missions supported by the
Mission Operations Directorate at NASA's Johnson Space Center in
Houston. The contract provides technical, managerial and
administrative services needed to ensure the availability, integrity
and reliability of operations facilities, including the Christopher
C. Kraft Jr. Mission Control Center and the Jake Garn Mission
Simulator and Training Facility at Johnson. It also supports these
activities at backup control centers.

The majority of the work will take place at or near Johnson.
Subcontractors supporting this contract include Cimarron Software
Services Inc. and United Space Alliance, both of Houston.
