About this vehicle
NASA Kennedy Space Center established the NASA Environmental Support Services Master BPA on May 1, 2025, with ordering authority extending through April 30, 2035. The vehicle carries a $225 million shared ceiling and remains actively used, with four task orders awarded since June 2025 generating a combined potential value of $29.4 million across environmental support services at NASA research centers and field facilities.
The vehicle funds technical and field support for environmental management divisions at multiple NASA installations, including Ames Research Center, Langley Research Center, Armstrong Flight Research Center, and Kennedy Space Center. Work encompasses environmental obligations across large multi-acre facilities and includes support to shared services infrastructure such as the NASA Shared Services Center at Stennis Space Center and the National Center for Critical Information Processing and Storage. All orders carry firm fixed pricing and performance periods extending through 2030.
Competition concentrates among three primes. Tetra Tech holds two orders worth $12.8 million combined potential value, representing 44 percent of the portfolio; AECOM Technical Services holds one order for $9.5 million (32 percent); and Bb&E holds one order for $7.1 million (24 percent). Customer funding splits across three NASA centers, with Kennedy Space Center holding two orders ($12.8 million potential value) and Ames and Langley Research Centers each holding one order ($9.5 million and $7.1 million respectively). One of four orders carries a Total Small Business set-aside designation; the remainder are unrestricted.
Task-order ceilings range from $4.6 million to $9.5 million, with obligated amounts representing 21 percent of combined potential value ($6.2 million obligated against $29.4 million potential). Ordering momentum stands at four task orders placed in 2025 across the vehicle's first year of operation. With approximately $195.6 million of the shared ceiling remaining unobligated and eight years nine months of ordering authority remaining, the vehicle retains substantial capacity for new task-order awards.
