About this award
Kennedy Space Center awarded a $168.05 million cost-plus-fixed-fee definitive contract to Ares Technical Services Corporation on October 1, 2019, for the Kennedy Exploration Ground Systems (EGS) Program (LX) Support Services Contract Three (KLXS III), with no set-aside used. The ultimate completion date is September 30, 2027, and place of performance is Orlando, Florida.
Scope covers ground systems and space flight systems planning and design; project management and integration; operations integration and analysis; technical requirements development, management, and compliance; and cost, risk, information and configuration management, and schedule integration and analysis. The work supports the EGS Program's shift from SLS and Orion launch site development to launch processing and operations for the Exploration Missions, including Artemis I, II, and III, and interfaces with the SLS and Orion programs.
Ares Technical Services Corporation is a small business and a child entity of Ares Holding Corporation. Named subcontract records include Mantech Advanced Systems International, Inc. and Crossworks Technologies Inc., along with six other named subcontractors.
Service Contract Inventory data for FY2025 shows 102 FTEs, 212,662 contractor hours, and $8.2 million invoiced, with 9 subcontractors and 59% of contractor hours subcontracted out. The derived government-paid rate is $38.71 per hour, down from $79.24 per hour in FY2024, and the blended prime and subcontractor rate is approximate. Invoicing declined from $17.9 million in FY2022 to $8.2 million in FY2025, and FTEs fell from 132 in FY2021 to 102 in FY2025. FY2021 figures reflect civilian-only inventory, so cross-year comparisons spanning that year are approximate.
