HOUSTON, Jan. 29,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- KBR's (NYSE: KBR) legacy of
excellence with NASA continues with recent prestigious awards
including 2023 Large Business Prime Contractor of the Year wins at
both NASA Johnson Space Center (JSC) and NASA Goddard Space Flight
Center (GSFC), marking a two-year winning streak for GSFC.
Every year, NASA's Office of Small Business Programs celebrates
outstanding mission contributions through its Small Business
Industry Awards. These awards honor companies that effectively
leverage small businesses and their unique capabilities to support
NASA's goals. KBR's dual wins highlight its outstanding overall
contract performance, impactful NASA outreach, smart small business
utilization, and strong ethical practices. Nominated by satisfied
customers, this achievement reflects KBR's ongoing strategic
efforts to empower its small business teammates.
Serving GSFC for more than six decades, KBR is one of the
center's largest contractors with three prime contracts, including
the Ground Systems and Missions Operations (GSMO) III, as well as
multiple subcontracts and joint ventures. Some pertinent on-site
projects KBR supports include the recent ILLUMA-T launch and the
upcoming PACE mission, which focus on space communications and
Earth atmospheric research, respectively.
Similarly, KBR's legacy at JSC dates back to 1962 and currently
includes three major prime contracts, including the Human Health
and Performance Contract (HHPC), Mission Systems Operations Contact
(MSOC), Integrated Mission Operations Contract (IMOC) III, as well
as several significant subcontractor roles. At JSC, KBR experts are
embedded throughout the Artemis mission, including helping to
develop NASA's next-generation spacesuit, and can be found
around-the-clock managing mission control posts.
"Growth isn't a solo journey. At KBR, we know collaboration
fuels innovation, and that includes fostering robust relationships
with small businesses," said Byron
Bright, President of KBR Government Solutions U.S. "This
award underscores our commitment to nurturing this ecosystem, where
our combined expertise propels NASA's missions forward together,
leaving a lasting mark on the world stage."
