About this award

Written by GovTribe AI ·

NASA Ames Research Center awarded a $287.9 million definitive contract to Universities Space Research Association (USRA) for academic mission services on June 1, 2016, under cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing with no set-aside. The contract ceiling extends through November 30, 2024.

USRA will provide university-based program and project support for science and engineering teams at Ames, delivering capabilities spanning fundamental research and development through field-test deployments and operational science missions. The contractor must demonstrate effective methods for attracting and retaining leading-edge researchers, facilitate interactive participation of researchers and students with Ames employees, and manage partnerships and collaborations to meet government-specified requirements. Place of performance is Moffett Federal Airfield, Mountain View, California.

In FY2024, the contract invoiced $18.9 million across 154 FTEs and 320,513 contractor hours at a derived government-paid rate of $58.81 per hour. In FY2025, invoicing declined to $2.8 million across 9.6 FTEs and 20,034 hours at $140.28 per hour, reflecting significant wind-down activity ahead of the contract's ultimate completion date. USRA subcontracted approximately 22 percent of FY2025 hours to six named sub-vendors, maintaining a lean sub-engagement posture consistent with its role as a lead research operator rather than a systems integrator.
