Huntsville, AL – Qualis Corporation announced today that it received a subcontract to provide Manufacturing Support and Facility Operating services to NASA’s George C. Marshall Space Flight Center’s Michoud Assembly Facility (MAF) located in New Orleans, LA. Qualis is a small business team member of Jacob’s Technology Inc. that has been awarded the prime contract. The contract is a Cost Plus Award Fee, Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract that includes a three year base period with two one year options and represents a potential maximum value of $696M if all options are exercised and all IDIQ annual maximum values are realized.
