engineering services with Lockheed Martin Space Operations of
Houston.

The one-year extension is for a nine-month base period with
three one-month options. The base period is valued at $144.9
million; the three successive monthly options are for $10.6
million, $15.3 million and $13.1 million, respectively. The
extension brings the total value of the 11-year Science,
Engineering, Analysis, and Test contract to $1.9 billion.

Under the contract, Lockheed Martin Space Operations provides
engineering, scientific and technical support to research and
development laboratories and projects; engineering,
maintenance and operations support for research and
development facilities; engineering and programming support
of automatic data-processing equipment and networks; and
design, development and operations support of payloads and
flight hardware. Lockheed also will provide technical support
to flight crew training for payloads and spacewalks and
furnish equipment and systems associated with that work

The work will be performed at JSC and at Lockheed Martin’s
facility in Houston.
