NASA Triggers $178M Option on Jacobs’ Kennedy Space Center Operations Contract


Space Launch SystemNASA has awarded a two-year, $178 million contract option to Jacobs Technology to continue management and implementation services for technology and operations at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

The agency said Monday that it also exercised a two-year extension for the contract’s indefinite-delivery indefinite-quantity ordering provision, which is worth up to $500 million for the contract’s lifespan.

Tullahoma, Tennessee-based Jacobs Technology was awarded the potential 10-year, $1.37 billion Test and Operations Support Contract in December 2012 to perform work for the agency’s Launch Services Program at the Kennedy Space Center.

NASA is working to transition the Kennedy Space Center into a multi-user space hub that would host spacecraft and rockets for both government and commercial customers as the agency aims to send humans to space destinations such as an asteroid, Mars and other solar system locations.

Jacobs Technology will help the agency run ground systems, process flight hardware and support launch operations for the International Space Station, Ground Systems Development and Operations, Space Launch System and Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle Programs under the TOSC contract.
