NASA has modified the Space Flight Operations Contract
(SFOC) with United Space Alliance (USA) of Houston for work
in support of the Space Shuttle and International Space
Station Programs.
The contract modification is for the fiscal year 2004
Program Provisioning Task List, a modification negotiated
annually to cover special and unique studies, analyses or
tasks. This modification does not include Return to Flight
efforts. It requires USA to perform several tasks involving
Space Shuttle Orbiter and Solid Rocket Booster modification,
infrastructure and launch pad refurbishment at NASA’s
Kennedy Space Center, Fla., and flight operations in support
of the Space Shuttle and International Space Station
Programs.
This effort is cost-reimbursable with award fee. The
modification is valued at $49 million including options. The
basic effort is valued at $45 million, bringing the total
value of the SFOC to $12.8 billion.
The work will be performed principally at USA’s facilities
in Houston; Huntsville, Ala.; the Kennedy Space Center; and
the major subcontractors’ facilities in Huntington Beach,
Calif.; Houston; and Cape Canaveral, Fla.
