NASA EXTENDS JOHNSON SPACE CENTER SUPPORT CONTRACT

HOUSTON -- NASA has awarded a three-year contract extension to Jacobs
Technology Inc. of Tullahoma, Tenn., for engineering and science
support at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston.

The contract extension has an estimated value of $978 million. The
extension brings the total contract value to approximately $2.16
billion through Jan. 31, 2013, with an eight year total period of
performance.

Work will be performed primarily at Johnson. Services are provided to
Johnson's Engineering Directorate and Astromaterials Research and
Exploration Science office.

The extension provides:


Continuity of engineering operations, analysis, and hardware and
systems certification for fly-out of the Space Shuttle Program.

Continuity of engineering development, operations, and hardware and
systems certification for the International Space Station during the
initial six-person crew on-orbit operations, the last shuttle flight
to the station, space station assembly completion, Commercial Orbital
Transportation Services, the European Automated Transfer Vehicle and
the Japanese H-2 Transfer Vehicle.

Completion of major milestones for design, development, test and
evaluation of government-furnished equipment for the Orion spacecraft
and critical test beds supporting the development of Orion.

The engineering science contract is a hybrid cost-plus-award-fee,
firm-fixed-price contract. It includes a baseline effort, an
indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity effort, and a
level-of-effort requirement.

The prime contractor, Jacobs Sverdrup, will manage the effort from
Houston. Major subcontractors include ERC Inc. and Manufacturing
Technical Solutions Inc. of Huntsville, Ala., and Barrios Technology
Ltd., GeoControl Systems Inc., Hamilton Sundstrand Management
Services Inc. and Muniz Engineering Inc. of Houston.
