JSC Awards Engineering Support Contract Extension to Lockheed

NASA's Johnson Space Center (JSC) has exercised its options to extend the period of performance and increase the required efforts for the Engineering Support Contract (ESC) with Lockheed Engineering & Sciences Company in Houston.

The value of options exercised is $444,556,000, which increases the total value of the cost-plus-award-fee contract to $884,831,870. The period of performance has been extended to May 9, 1995.

The objective of the ESC is providing research and development (R&D) support services to all elements of the Engineering Directorate, the New Initiatives Office, to specified elements of the Space and Life Sciences Directorate, and to other JSC elements for related functions.

The major emphasis of the contract is continued support to the Space Shuttle, Space Station Freedom, and Advanced Space Programs. Lockheed will continue to provide functions ranging from hands-on maintenance and operation tasks to the engineering associated with major systems design and development projects.

The work will be performed by Lockheed at JSC and at the contractor's facilities at 2400 Nasa Road 1, located adjacent to the center.
