MESC II enables the development, sustainment, and maintenance of highly specialized systems and services essential to NASA’s flight operations, serving not only internal JSC needs but also external partners including other NASA centers, international space agencies, other government entities, and commercial collaborators. The contract is managed under NAICS code 541512 and is forecasted for release on July 1, 2027, with primary performance occurring in Houston, Texas. Point of contact for program inquiries is Erin E. Moeller, and the Small Business Specialist is Tumarrow Romain, ensuring accessibility for small business engagement.
