Consolidated Operations Management Engineering and Test (COMET)

The Avatar team is excited for the opportunity to continue our support to Jacobs Technology Inc. at the NASA Kennedy Space Center (KSC) through the Consolidated Operations, Management, Engineering and Test (COMET) contract.

This contract was awarded to our prime partner, Jacobs Technology Inc., and has a potential value of approximately $3.2 billion over a period of 10 years. The COMET contract support is scheduled to commence on May 1, 2023, and it will provide ground and launch operations support to several KSC programs, including the Artemis missions.

COMET will succeed the KSC Test and Operations Support Contract (TOSC). As a proven Small Business, Small Disadvantaged Business, and Woman-Owned Small Business partner on TOSC, Avatar has supported Jacobs in performing various IT functions, software development and testing, hardware systems engineering and integration, electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering, as well as launch command system development and support.

We warmly welcome all incumbent TOSC employees that will join the Avatar team under the new COMET contract. We look forward to being a part of the Jacobs team as NASA launches the historic Artemis missions to the Moon, Mars and beyond!
