JOFOC - Marshall Engineering Technicians and Trades Support (METTS) III

MSFC JOFOC No.25-129

This JOFOC authorizes the MSFC Procurement Office to modify Contract number 80MSFC23CA004 (METTS III), for the purpose of:

1. Increasing the contract ceiling value in order to account for existing and future cost overruns expected to be incurred in performance of the Contract, due to higher‑than‑estimated expenses and increased work, driven by accelerated efforts to return Americans to the Moon under the Artemis program, which are within the scope of the existing METTS III contract; and


2. Extending the contract for 12 months, structured as two 6-month option periods.
