NASA has selected Rothe Ares Joint Venture of San Antonio to manage digital communication services, as well as information technology services, for all agency centers and headquarters.

Enterprise Multimedia and Integrated Technical Services (eMITS) is a hybrid contract that includes cost-plus-award-fee core services and indefinite-delivery/indefinite quantity task orders. Task orders can be cost-plus or firm-fixed price.

The contract period of performance consists of an initial 90-day phase-in that begins May 2, followed by a 12-month base period, with seven 12-month option periods, as well as a six-month extension, which would extend the full period of performance to Jan. 31, 2032, if all options are exercised.

The potential value of the contract is about $814 million, which includes all options and any IDIQ task order awards.

Work performed under the contract will support NASA’s Office of Chief Information Officer and Office of Communications across all centers and facilities. The contractor will provide related information technology management services; customer collaboration and support services; information management services, and digital communications services including television and multimedia production, social media, and digital exhibits.
