WASHINGTON -- NASA has exercised a third, one-year option with Bastion

Office of Safety and Mission Assurance in Washington and Marshall 
Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala. 

The option runs through Jan. 31, 2012. Under the contract, the company

This $37.3 million option and the $76.4 million two-year award term 
bring the value of the contract to approximately $250.1 million. The 
base contract and two options previously exercised were valued at 
$136.4 million. Unexercised options and award terms could extend the 
contract period of performance three additional years to 2017 and

maintainability support for Marshall's design, development, 
engineering and testing activities. The company also provides safety
