NASA Awards Multi-Milion Dollar Contract to Small Business 

NASA's Glenn Research Center has selected Call Henry, Inc. a small 
business in Cocoa, Fla., for a contract to provide maintenance, 
repair, operation and modification services for several systems and 
facilities at the center. The contract begins on June 2, 2003, and it 
is a follow-on contract to an existing agreement for similar 
services.



This is a firm-fixed price contract plus indefinite 
delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract with an "award term" 
incentive to earn additional contract years for "excellent" 
performance. The annual firm-fixed prices average about $6.3 million 
plus an estimated $2.5 million annually for delivery orders. Over the 
maximum 10-year contract period, the firm-fixed price is $66.9 and 
its estimated IDIQ value is $27.3 million, for a total of $94.2 
million.



Services under this contract include scheduled preventative 
maintenance, predictive testing and inspection of institutional 
systems, including heating, ventilation and air conditioning, utility 
distribution (high and low-voltage electricity and natural gas), 
water and sewer piping, the operation of steam plant and boilers, 
cooling towers and chillers, and high voltage switching, and 
building, roads, and grounds maintenance.



Call Henry, Inc. will be subcontracting at least 15% to JDD, Inc., a 
small, disadvantaged business in Cleveland.
