CHANTILLY, Va., Dec. 10, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- (December 10, 2024) 鈥� Parsons Corporation (NYSE: PSN) announced today that the company has formed a joint venture with V2X named Polar Science Alliance (PSA), LLC to pursue the National Science Foundation鈥檚 (NSF) Antarctic Science and Engineering Support Contract (ASESC). This mission-critical $8 billion ceiling value single-award indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract will enable world-class scientific research support services for the United States Antarctic Program (USAP) over the next two decades.

NSF manages all U.S. scientific research and related logistics in Antarctica as well as aboard ships in the Southern Ocean through the USAP, the largest scientific research program in the Antarctic region. The NSF has maintained a pivotal U.S. presence in Antarctica for more than six decades, working to study the Antarctic and its ecosystems, understand the region's impact on global processes such as climate, and leverage Antarctica's unique features for scientific research that cannot be done as well elsewhere.

鈥淧olar Science Alliance stands ready to bring the experience and resources of its parent companies, Parsons and V2X, to the world-class United States Antarctic Program,鈥� said Jon Moretta, President, Engineered Systems for Parsons. 鈥淧arsons brings years of experience in polar operations to this joint venture, including work as the modernization designer and builder on the Antarctica Infrastructure Modernization for Science Project. We鈥檙e proud to team with V2X for the opportunity to be NSF鈥檚 USAP support services partner in enabling the world-class Antarctic science program.鈥�
