NASA has exercised the first option under its existing contract with Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) of Huntsville, Ala., to operate the NASA Enterprise Applications Competency Center (NEACC).

The two-year option period for continuation of services increases the existing Enterprise Applications Service Technologies (EAST) contract by more than $69 million and provides services through Jan. 31, 2015.

The NEACC provides services to operate, maintain and enhance key business and mission-supporting platforms, applications and infrastructure used across the agency. The EAST contract is administered by the NASA Shared Services Center.
