Parsons has received a $593 million contract extension from the Federal Aviation Administration through an early exercise of an option under the agency’s Technical Support Services Contract 5, extending the company’s support for National Airspace System modernization efforts.
What Does the TSSC 5 Extension Cover?
The option extends contract work through 2030, Parsons said Monday. TSSC 5 has a total ceiling value of $1.8 billion and supports work aligned with the FAA’s Aviation System Capital Investment Plan, which outlines modernization and sustainment activities across the NAS.
Under the contract, Parsons provides program and project management, engineering, and technical services supporting infrastructure and systems upgrades at FAA facilities nationwide. The work spans air traffic control facilities and navigation, communications, surveillance, radar, power, and related systems that underpin airspace operations.
How Does the Extension Fit Into Parsons-FAA Relationship?
Parsons has supported the FAA under successive Technical Support Services Contracts since 2001. The company was awarded TSSC 5 in 2023 following its work on earlier iterations of the contract, which covered similar modernization and sustainment activities across geographically dispersed FAA sites.
“For more than five decades, Parsons has supported the FAA in modernizing the U.S. National Airspace System,” said Martin Boson, president of engineered systems for Parsons.
“We are a proven program accelerator, and through this early contract extension, we’ll continue leveraging our engineering, infrastructure, and global program management expertise to support the FAA in sustaining global aviation leadership and modernizing the safest, most efficient aerospace system in the world,” he added.
