NASA AWARDS MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR CONTRACT TO SMALL BUSINESS

     NASA's Glenn Research Center, Cleveland, 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 percent 
to JDD, Inc., a small, disadvantaged business in Cleveland.
