CSC wins big with NASA

Computer Sciences Corp. will help run NASA's Johnson Space Center facility in Texas under a $544 million contract.

CSC of El Segundo, Calif., will provide facility support services under the 10-year contract. The work includes operating the mission control power plant as well as providing facility repair and maintenance, utility operations, and engineering and construction, energy conservation and management, and environmental, safety and quality support services, the company said.

The company will perform the work at the Johnson Space Center, Sonny Carter Training Facility and Ellington Field, all in the Houston area.

The contract is a follow-on to one awarded to CSC in 2002. The new contract is structured with a two-year base period, two one-year options and six one-year performance-based award terms.

CSC ranks No. 11 on Washington Technology's 2007 Top 100 list of the largest federal government prime contractors.
