Ross Group Identified on $30.9 Million NASA Johnson Space Center Central Plant Task Order

Federal procurement records identify Ross Group Construction Corporation as the awardee on an approximately $30.9 million construction task order at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston. The description refers to central plant infrastructure improvements, Buildings 24 and 28 and chillers, placing the work within the campus utility program.

The award is significant for mechanical contractors because it concerns a plant that supports building operations. Chillers provide cooling, and the work required to connect or modify that equipment can involve coordination across mechanical systems, electrical supply, controls and commissioning. The task-order description establishes the central plant and chiller connection. It leaves the specific work assigned to each of the two buildings, equipment capacities and installation sequence undisclosed.

Those details will matter to how the work is delivered on an existing campus. A full scope would establish which systems are being added, altered or replaced and whether individual installations have to be staged around equipment already in service. The available federal summary does not provide enough information to establish those requirements or identify how many chillers the contract covers.

The underlying federal award activity dates to August and September 2026. The new information here is the identification of the task order and its contractor. Johnson Space Center also has a separate Applied Spaceflight Fabrication Facility project being delivered by HITT Contracting. Ross Group's order covers central plant infrastructure, with a different scope and award record.

Ross Group is the named federal awardee. The chiller manufacturer, installing mechanical contractor, controls specialist and commissioning firms have yet to be identified. The available record also leaves the delivery and installation dates open. For construction readers, the key information is the combination of an existing federal award, a named contractor and a specific campus utility scope valued at approximately $30.9 million.
