CONTRACT RELEASE: C11-015
NASA EXTENDS CONTRACT FOR SUPERCOMPUTING SUPPORT SERVICES
WASHINGTON -- NASA will exercise the third one-year option on a
contract with Computer Sciences Corp. in Lanham, Md., to provide
supercomputing support services at NASA's Ames Research Center at
Moffett Field, Calif. The option is valued at approximately $58.6
million.
The option exercised on the cost-plus-award-fee contract begins April
1 and continues until March 31, 2012. The contract consists of a
two-year base period, which began Aug. 1, 2007, and eight one-year
priced options with a maximum value of approximately $597 million if
all options are exercised.
The company will continue to support supercomputing services provided
by the agency's primary high performance computing facility operated
by the NASA Advanced Supercomputing Division at Ames. The facility
serves as the supercomputing pathfinder for the agency and develops
and operates some of the largest, most advanced and productive
supercomputers in the world.
The contract is structured so the company also may provide
supercomputing services to the NASA Center for Computational Sciences
facility at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., and
additional high performance computing support to other agency field
centers as needed.
