MEI Technologies, Inc. (MEIT) is celebrating a major subcontract win on the Multi Purpose Crew Vehicle (MPCV) Program Integration Contract (MPIC), as part of the ARES Technical Services Corp. team, performing work at NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston. The contract, beginning April 1 with a base performance period of two-and-a-half years followed by two one-year options, has a contract value of $49 million in which MEIT’s share is approximately 20 percent.
