NASA announced that Chimex Systems, Inc., of Houston, Tex., had received a subcontract from Computer Sciences Corp. of Falls Church, Va, for institutional computer systems engineering, development, and production operations under CSC's 5-yr contract with Johnson Space Center. A major factor of CSC's winning bid had been its plan to use minority subcontractors. This was the fourth NASA contract won by Chimex, which had provided keypunch services at Kennedy Space Center and engineering support and keypunch services at JSC. Under the new subcontract, Chimex would employ 40 people primarily in keypunch and data-distribution at an estimated $800 000 per yr for 5yr. NASA's minority business awards for the first half of FY1978 had amounted to more than $37 million. (NASA Release 78-117)
