Native Alaskan Company Receives $300 Plus Million Contract

A subsidiary of ASRC Federal has secured a potential five-year, $320 million award from NASA for providing support to facilities.

ASRC Federal Facilities Logistics will carry out tasks under the Repairs, Operations, Maintenance, and Engineering contract at the Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland. This was announced on Thursday by the enterprise, which is based in Reston, Virginia.

Jennifer Felix, the President and CEO of ASRC Federal, who is also a previous recipient of the Wash100 Award, expressed her contentment about the firm’s continuous relationship with NASA through this recognition.

“Our team will keep the launch facilities up-to-date and the lights on in the science labs so that NASA can focus on their critical mission of furthering science through space exploration,” she said.

ASRC Federal’s contractual duties extend to a variety of facilities such as office buildings, technical structures like clean rooms, integration and testing areas, laboratories, launch sites, airfields, and warehouses. The firm is entrusted with facilities operations and maintenance, architectural engineering, construction tasks, and utility management.

In addition to the Goddard Space Flight Center, the company will also execute its operations at the Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia.

This recognition follows ASRC Federal’s acquisition of a $35 million NASA contract in June 2022, under which the company is presently delivering advanced IT services for research and development to bolster the spaceflight and aircraft management systems at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Texas.

ASRC Federal’s enduring partnership with NASA is further exemplified by its receipt of a $212 million contract from the administration in January 2021. This ongoing professional services and IT support contract is slated for completion in January 2026.

ASRC Federal is the government services subsidiary of Arctic Slope Regional Corporation.

Arctic Slope Regional Corporatio is a private, profit-driven corporation, owned and operated on behalf of its approximately 13,000 Iñupiat shareholders residing in the Alaskan villages of Point Hope, Point Lay, Wainwright, Atqasuk, Utqiaġvik, Nuiqsut, Kaktovik, and Anaktuvuk Pass.

The corporation owns nearly 5 million acres of land on Alaska’s North Slope, an area rich with potential oil, gas, coal, and base metal sulfides reserves. As a custodian of these lands, ASRC continually works towards achieving a balance between cultural resource management and natural resource management.

In line with the objectives of ANCSA, the earnings of ASRC are used for the benefit of its shareholders. Since its inception, ASRC has dispersed more than $1 billion in dividends directly to its shareholders.
