NASA Awards $450M Construction Contract to 36 Small Businesses for California Facilities

NASA Selects 36 Small Businesses for Western Regional Construction Contract

NASA has awarded the Western Regional Multiple Award Construction Contract (WRMACC) to 36 small businesses, marking a significant investment in facility infrastructure at two key California centers. The contract, valued at up to $450 million over five years, covers a broad range of construction, modification, maintenance, repair, and demolition services at NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards and Ames Research Center in Silicon Valley, as well as other federal agencies in the region.

Contract Details and Scope

The indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity, firm-fixed-price contract is a follow-on to NASA's previous regional construction contract. It emphasizes sustainable construction practices, requiring contractors to incorporate Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) principles and building information modeling (BIM) to support efficient and environmentally responsible project execution. The work includes new construction of buildings and facilities, as well as upgrades to existing structures.

NASA expects the contract to enhance the agency's ability to maintain and modernize its California facilities, supporting critical research and flight operations. Armstrong Flight Research Center is known for its work in aeronautics and spaceflight testing, while Ames Research Center focuses on supercomputing, astrobiology, and advanced materials.
