The contract includes a cost-plus-award-fee baseline with indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity award-fee and fixed-fee task orders. The contract base period of 18 months begins March 1, 2018, and is followed by a one-year option and a 15-month option. The total maximum value of the contract is approximately $264 million. 

The ALICE contract provides support for the Flight Operations Directorate at NASA’s Johnson Space Center, and aircraft based at Ellington Field in Houston, a forward operating location in El Paso, Texas, the agency’s Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia, and other locations, as required.
