HOUSTON \u2013 NASA is moving forward with a major modernization effort at Johnson Space Center, awarding contracts to seven companies that will help upgrade aging facilities and infrastructure at the Houston campus that has served as the center of America\u2019s human spaceflight program for more than six decades.<\/p>\n
The agency announced it has selected seven contractors to compete for task orders under the Johnson Space Center Multiple Award Construction Contract, which supports up to $300 million in upgrades to facilities, utilities and equipment across the campus. <\/p>\n

NASA said all funds must be obligated by Sept. 30, 2026.<\/p>\n
The contract is designed to allow NASA to rapidly carry out projects needed to sustain astronaut crew training, engineering development and mission readiness. <\/p>\n
Individual task orders will be competed among the selected companies to ensure fair opportunity and best value for the government.<\/p>\n
The companies selected are:<\/p>\n
Coho Construction Management, LLC<\/p>\n
Conti Federal Services, LLC<\/p>\n
Healtheon, Inc.<\/p>\n
HITT Contracting, Inc.<\/p>\n
Ross Group Construction Corporation, LLC<\/p>\n
Energy EPC Solutions, LLC, doing business as S&B Services<\/p>\n
Sauer Construction, LLC<\/p>\n
Preparing for the next era of space exploration<\/p>\n
The investment comes as NASA works to modernize facilities built during the Apollo era while preparing for Artemis missions to the moon and future deep space exploration efforts. <\/p>\n
Johnson Space Center remains the agency\u2019s hub for astronaut training, mission operations and human spaceflight development.<\/p>\n
The contract vehicle supports up to $300 million in construction and infrastructure work, with projects awarded through individual task orders as needs arise across the campus.<\/p>\n
The modernization effort comes as NASA balances support for the International Space Station with preparations for future lunar missions and long term plans aimed at sending astronauts farther into space.<\/p>\n
Addressing aging infrastructure<\/p>\n
Many facilities at Johnson Space Center date back to the 1960s, when NASA rapidly expanded its human spaceflight program during the Cold War space race with the Soviet Union.<\/p>\n
The contract represents a major infrastructure initiative aimed at modernizing facilities across the Johnson campus.<\/p>\n
Previous planning documents and public reports have identified potential projects including new fabrication facilities, office space and infrastructure improvements. <\/p>\n
NASA\u2019s contract announcement, however, did not specify which projects would move forward under the agreement.<\/p>\n
The announcement also comes amid broader discussions about the future of NASA\u2019s infrastructure. <\/p>\n
