The U.S. space agency says it's selected EG&G Technical Services Inc. to provide institutional services at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration said the cost-plus-award-fee contract, with a potential value of approximately $1.5 billion, begins Oct. 1, with a five-year base period, followed by five one-year options.
NASA said the Gaithersburg, Md., company will perform facilities operations, maintenance and engineering, propellants and life support operations, logistics, transportation and laboratory management at the space center.
Selected services also will be provided to the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station and Patrick Air Force Base in Florida. NASA said the company will furnish resources, including management, personnel, equipment and supplies to support Kennedy's work at those locations.
