NASA has selected ARES Technical Services Corporation of McLean, Virginia, to provide launch range operations support at the agency\u2019s Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia.<\/p>\n

The Wallops Range Contract has a total potential value of $339.8 million with a one-year base period expected to begin Tuesday, Feb. 10, and four one-year option periods that if exercised would extend it to 2031. The contract includes a cost-plus-fixed-fee core with an indefinite-delivery\/indefinite-quantity component and the ability to issue cost-plus-fixed-fee or firm-fixed-price task orders.<\/p>\n

The scope of the work includes launch range operations support such as radar, telemetry, logistics, tracking, and communications services for flight vehicles including orbital and suborbital rockets, aircraft, satellites, balloons, and unmanned aerial systems. Additional responsibilities include information and computer systems services; testing, modifying, and installing communications and electronic systems at launch facilities, launch control centers, and test facilities; and range technology sustainment engineering services.<\/p>\n

Work will primarily occur at NASA Wallops with additional support at sites such as the agency\u2019s Bermuda Tracking Station, Poker Flat Research Range in Alaska, and other temporary duty locations.<\/p>\n
