NASA awards $1.1B electrical, electronic engineering recompete
Iteration number four of this contract supports work on the development and validation of new technologies for space and science missions.
Columbus Technologies and Services has won a potential five-year, $1.1 billion contract for electrical and electronic engineering work at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center.
This is iteration number four of the Electrical Systems Engineering Services contract, which NASA has structured to support the Goddard team’s work on the development and validation of new technologies for space and science missions.
NASA said Wednesday that the new contract has a start date of April 9, following a three-month transition from the current ESES III program that Science Systems and Applications Inc. won in 2018. SSAI has received approximately $657.6 million in obligations since the award, according to GovTribe data.
Like its predecessor, the ESES IV contract is a small business set-aside. The agency uses this procurement to acquire support in the design, development, fabrication, testing and operations of spaceflight, airborne and ground system hardware.
Goddard is located in Greenbelt, Maryland and is one of NASA’s 10 major field centers. Approximately 10,000 civil servants and contractors work there on large space and science research efforts.
Columbus Technologies and Services is a woman-owned small business that started in 2001 and focuses its efforts on the aerospace, health and national security corners of the government market.
The company’s core lines of work include IT, engineering, science, software development, research-and-development and professional services.
