NASA ANNOUNCES NSSC SITES CHOSEN BY OFFERORS

NASA released today the possible site locations for the NASA Shared 
Services Center (NSSC) included in proposals received from offerors. 

Sites proposed by offerors as possible locations for the NSSC are: 
Brook Park, Ohio, Huntsville, Ala., and NASA's Stennis Space Center, 
Miss.

NASA is creating a Shared Services Center to consolidate a variety of 
transactional and administrative activities being done at each NASA 
center in the functional areas of Human Resources, Information 
Technology, Procurement and Financial Management.

The NSSC consolidates targeted activities into a separate NASA center, 
which reports to Headquarters. The NSSC is designed to achieve 
efficient and effective service; improved data quality; standardized 
processes; economies of scale, leveraged personnel skills and 
investments.

The NSSC will work collaboratively with agency centers to meet their 
service needs via a contact center. This will allow NASA 
organizations to focus more time on their core work and strategic 
initiatives. Each NASA center will have a resident Customer Service 
Liaison to ensure timely and efficient service.

NASA would like to take this opportunity to thank all the agency 
centers, community site partners and other participants for their 
patience, diligence and hard work in support of the NSSC 
site-selection process. The time and effort will go a long way in 
ensuring the success of the NSSC for NASA. 

On September 13, 2004, NASA released the final Request for Proposal 
(RFP) for the NSSC. The RFP required potential offerors to select one 
of six approved locations for the NSSC. The RFP submission deadline 
was November 8, 2004.

The final selection and award for the NSSC competition is scheduled 
for May 2005. For more information about the NSSC and the selection
