This contract extension under solicitation number N00173-15-D-2015_P00004 ensures continuity of critical spacecraft engineering and software research and development tasks while the agency transitions toward a new competitive contract award. The place of performance remains in Washington, D.C., and key contacts for the contract include Erica N. Turner and Arthur J. Rego, who serve as contract specialists. This bridge action supports the NRL’s commitment to maintaining operational and technical capabilities in spacecraft engineering and software support without disruption.
