> 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

> contract's 5-year period. The minimum value of each contract is
> $100,000. The maximum value of each contract is $400 million.

> 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
