The contract includes support for 60 different services that include financial management, human resources and procurement.
Colsa Corp. has won a potential $400 million contract to help NASA operate its shared services center responsible for providing business administration and other back-office support resources across the agency.
This third iteration of the Transformational Shared Services contract has a total period of performance for eight years and nine months: a 90-day phase-in period, a two-year base period, a two-year option period, a one-year option period, three one-year award term option periods and a six-month extension.
NASA said Friday that the contract includes support for financial management, human resources, procurement and others among the 60 services the center provides. The NASA Shared Services Center is located at Stennis Space Center in Mississippi and supports 10 additional hubs of the space agency.
Colsa was one of three bidders for the award, according to Federal Procurement Data System records. This contract represents a new business win for the Huntsville, Alabama-headquartered IT and engineering solutions provider.
General Dynamics IT has around 18 years of incumbency on this work through its acquisition of CSRA in 2018, which was created through the merger of SRA International and the former Computer Sciences Corp. federal business in 2015. CSC won the original contract in 2005 and the recompete in 2015.
NASA has obligated approximately 95% of the current contract's $281 million ceiling value, according to GovTribe data. The current contract's last date to order is Sept. 30, while the new contract's phase-in period is slated to start on Aug. 2.
