The contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's John Glenn Research Center in Cleveland is for the definition, design, fabrication, assembly, integration, testing and operation of a broad array of space flight projects.
The total value of the cost-plus-incentive-fee, indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract includes a three-year base period of performance and two one-year options. The contract is to begin this month.
