NASA AWARDS LAUNCH SERVICES
CONTRACTS FOR SMALL PAYLOADS
NASA has awarded two contracts to provide launch services for
NASA and NASA-sponsored small-class payloads under the Small
Expendable Launch Vehicle Services (SELVS-KSC) contracts. The
companies are Coleman Research Corp., Orlando, FL, and Orbital
Sciences Corp., Dulles, VA. The contracts will be administered by
NASA's Kennedy Space Center (KSC), FL, and will include launches
from Kennedy Space Center/Cape Canaveral Air Station, FL;
Vandenberg Air Force Base, CA; and Wallops Flight Facility, VA.
The SELVS-KSC contracts will help fulfill the goals and
objectives of NASA's Human Exploration and Development of Space
enterprise, the Earth Science enterprise and the Space Science
enterprise. The SELVS-KSC contracts are "Indefinite
Delivery/Indefinite Quantity" contracts, meaning that the quantity
of services to be provided will vary with NASA's needs.
NASA anticipates award of up to 16 missions over the
contract's 5-year period. The minimum value of each contract is
$100,000. The maximum value of each contract is $400 million.
The contracts are 95 percent fixed price, with the remaining 5
percent allowed for performance of special studies.
Loren Shriver, KSC's Deputy Director for Launch and Payload
Processing, was the source selection authority for this
procurement. "This is the first launch services acquisition
activity performed by the Kennedy Space Center since being
designated as the Lead Center for Acquisition and Management of
Expendable Launch Vehicle Launch Services," said Shriver. "It
will enable us to better serve our payload customers who will be
flying small payloads. We look forward to partnering with Coleman
and Orbital to provide excellent support to our Earth and Space
Science Enterprise customers."
The launch vehicle to be used by Coleman Research Corporation
under the contract will be the LK-0. The launch vehicles to be
used by Orbital Sciences Corporation under the contract will be
the Pegasus XL and the Taurus. Related work will be performed by
Coleman Research Corp. in Orlando, FL, and by Orbital Sciences
Corp. in Dulles, VA, and Chandler, AZ.
