NASA has awarded the Human Space Flight Technical Integration Contract (HSFTIC) to Barrios Technology Ltd. of Houston to support multiple human spaceflight programs at the agency’s Johnson Space Center in Houston.

This is a cost-plus-award-fee, incentive-fee contract. The contract’s 60-day phase-in period begins Sunday, Aug. 2, with the two-year base period beginning Oct. 1, followed by three additional one-year options that may be exercised at NASA’s discretion. A Program Planning and Control (PP&C) option includes a one-year base period followed by four one-year options. The maximum potential value of the contract, including all options and incentives, is $364 million.

The HSFTIC provides products and services to support mission and program technical integration activities and the necessary infrastructure functions for the International Space Station, Orion, and Gateway programs, with the potential for supporting additional human spaceflight programs or projects by issuing task orders.

Barrios will perform work under the contract at Johnson with ARES Technical Services Corp. of Burlingame, California, as a subcontractor.
