SAIC Secures New $494M NASA Engineering Services Contract to Support Johnson Space Center

NASA has awarded Science Applications International Corporation an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract to provide safety and mission assurance engineering support to the agency’s Johnson Space Center in Houston and White Sands Test Facility in New Mexico. Set to start June 1, the contract has a five-year base period and two one-year options, with a total maximum value of $494 million. 

The Safety and Mission Assurance Engineering Contract III is a follow-through of the $292 million contract that SAIC won in 2019. The new contract also calls for SAIC support on deep space programs and projects, such as the Orion spacecraft and the Gateway lunar space station, NASA said Friday.

SAIC may also extend services to other NASA and U.S. government facilities, as well as contractor, subcontractor or vendor locations specified in the SMAEC III task orders. 

In June 2022, SAIC also won a spot on a five-year, $103.4 million IDIQ contract to provide information technology services to the Johnson Space Center’s Flight Operations Directorate. With a potential $27.3 million value, SAIC’s tasks in Baseline A of the center’s Mission Enabling Services Contract has a two-year base performance period, a two-year option and a one-year option.
