The Agency-Level award follows Jacobs’ FY-20 Center-Level SBIA Large Business Prime Contractor of the Year Award at two NASA Centers: Langley Research Center (LaRC) and Kennedy Space Center (KSC).
“Jacobs’ relationship with NASA goes back 60-plus years, and we truly value our longstanding collaboration to help to solve the most complex and hazardous challenges of space exploration,” said Jacobs Critical Mission Solutions Executive Vice President and President Dawne Hickton. “As NASA’s largest service provider, we are committed to providing integrated solutions in support of the agency’s mission and the nation’s space program.”
Jacobs was nominated for its most recent award by NASA KSC, where the company serves as the prime contractor for NASA’s Exploration Ground Systems program, responsible for the development and operations of flight vehicle components. The KSC nomination acknowledged Jacobs for its ground and flight application software team efforts in support of the Artemis program and critical missions to resupply the International Space Station, as well as overall service to the Test and Operations Support Contract.
