NASA has awarded Analex
Corporation of Fairfax, Va., an option for the Expendable Launch Vehicles
Integrated Support, or ELVIS, contract.
This second option period award is a hybrid performance-based,
cost-plus-award-fee, fixed-price-award-fee, and fixed-price
indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract. It extends ELVIS through
Sept. 30, 2011. The award has a potential value of approximately $90
million.
Analex Corporation currently is performing work under the contract's
first option period, a three-year option that ends Sept. 30, 2008. The
potential contract period, if all options are exercised, is nine years,
three months, with a total approximate value of $258 million.
The contract provides integrated support services in the areas of
business and administration, safety and mission assurance, engineering, and
technical, facility, and launch operations. Launch vehicles include the
Atlas, Delta, Pegasus, Taurus, and Falcon rockets. The contract
specifically provides engineering services and analyses, communications,
telemetry, special studies, and technical services for ground and flight
expendable launch vehicle systems and payloads.
Services will be provided at NASA's Kennedy Space Center and Cape
Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida, Vandenberg Air Force Base in
California, and other launch sites and NASA resident offices.
