CONTRACT RELEASE: C13-016
NASA AWARDS CONTRACT MODIFICATION FOR SUPPORT AT MICHOUD ASSEMBLY FACILITY
WASHINGTON -- NASA has signed a one-year contract option with Jacobs
Technology, Inc., of New Orleans to continue manufacturing support
and facilities operations at the agency's Michoud Assembly Facility
in New Orleans.
The one-year contract option begins on May 1. The contract is a
performance-based, cost-plus-award-fee, mission services contract
with an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) portion. With
the exercise of Option 2, the mission services value increases by
approximately $38 million, and the IDIQ potential maximum order value
increases by $100 million for a new maximum potential contract value
of approximately $477 million. The contract was awarded in May 2009.
The contract will support critical operations under way at Michoud to
advance the nation's human spaceflight endeavors, including work on
the Orion spacecraft and modifications to manufacture the core stage
of NASA's Space Launch System rocket.
Michoud, managed and operated by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center
in Huntsville, Ala., is the agency's only large-scale advanced
manufacturing facility -- a multi-tenant campus with 43 acres of
advanced manufacturing space under one roof. A number of private
companies and government projects take advantage of the facility's
key capabilities, including large-envelope fiber placement equipment,
friction stir welding systems, high-speed machining tools, material
test labs and manufacturing infrastructure.
