About MSFOC

The Michoud Assembly Facility (MAF) is a world-class manufacturing facility, located on 832 acres in New Orleans, Louisiana, that provides vital support to NASA exploration and discovery missions. Michoud's capabilities include the manufacture and assembly of critical hardware components for the space shuttle and exploration vehicles under development at Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) and other NASA field centers. Michoud is a NASA-owned facility that is managed by MSFC – 1 of 10 NASA field centers in the United States and home to Science and Space Exploration for more than 50 years.

Jacobs has partnered with NASA to support space flight programs for more than 40 years, and we look forward to continuing that work as the contractor for the Manufacturing Support and Facility Operations Contract (MSFOC) at MAF.

The purpose of the MSFOC is to provide mission-focused integrated production and facility operations support to NASA projects such as the Space Shuttle’s External Tank, Ares I Upper Stage and Instrument Unit, and Orion. We will support NASA and other on-site user(s)/tenant(s) during a period of time when MAF is transforming from a single-project, single-prime contractor facility to a multi-project, multi-prime contractor facility. Our services include: program management; safety, health, and emergency management; integrated manufacturing support; maintenance; site services; site operations; logistics operations services; sustaining engineering; environmental services; and construction and IDIQ services. All of these activities must be accomplished with an unwavering focus on safety to ensure that people, facilities, and equipment are properly protected. Together, we stand ready to support current and future NASA programs.
