RELEASE:  C03-u

SUPPORT SERVICES PROVIDER CHOSEN FOR MARSHALL SPACE FLIGHT 
CENTER

     NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., 
has selected EG&G Technical Services, Inc., of Austin, Texas, 
to provide center operations support services. The contract 
provides for operations and maintenance of all Marshall 
Center facilities and collateral equipment, plus other 
related functions.

The one-year contract, with provision for four one-year 
options, was awarded after a competitive selection process. 
It could be worth up to $130 million over five years if NASA 
exercises all four options as well as maximum quantity 
requirements. Most of the services will be provided on a 
firm-fixed price basis. Other services are to be provided on 
an as-needed basis under the indefinite-delivery/indefinite-
quantity section of the contract. 

EG&G will be supported by several subcontractor team members, 
all of which are small business firms: Mainthia Technologies 
Inc.; Greenway Enterprises Inc.; Echota Research and Science 
Applications; Alabama A&M Research Institute; and Plexus 
Scientific Corp.

Services under the contract will be performed on-site at the 
Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville and will extend 
from July, 2003, through June 30, 2004. If NASA exercises the 
four one-year options, services will be continued through 
June 30, 2008.  

EG&G is required to provide all resources, including labor, 
supervision, tools, equipment, materials, spare parts, 
incidental engineering, transportation, and management 
necessary to accomplish the work. The contract terms also 
emphasize that services being provided will support 
Marshall's missions in a safe, reliable and timely manner.
