NASA's KSC awarded the Boeing Company the checkout, assembly, and payload-processing services (CAPPS) contract for the Space Shuttle and the EELV. The CAPPS contract had a four-year base period of performance valued at US$332 million. In addition, the contract had two three-year extension options, which could increase the contract's total value to US$810 million. Under the contract, Boeing would perform payload-processing tasks, such as ensuring that payloads were compatible with launch vehicles and loading payloads into launch vehicles. Boeing had also held KSC's previous payload-processing agreement, called the payload ground-operations contract.
