NASA CHOOSES SERVICES PROVIDER AT MARSHALL SPACE FLIGHT 
CENTER

     NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) in 
Huntsville, Ala., has selected EG&G Technical Services, Inc. 
of Gaithersburg, Md., for an order under a General Services 
Administration (GSA) contract to provide institutional 
services. 

The order has a three-year base period followed by options 
that may be exercised at NASA's discretion. The total 
potential order period is eight years. Work performed is on 
a performance-based, firm-fixed-price basis with an 
Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity provision. It has a 
minimum value of $21.54 million and a maximum value of  
$154.76 million. The maximum value would apply if all 
follow-on options, maximum quantity requirements, and all 
award-term periods exercised. 

Services under the contract will be performed at MSFC 
facilities from April 1, 2003, through March 31, 2006. If 
NASA awards all options work could continue until March 31, 
2011. Work under the order includes environmental services, 
mail distribution, equipment maintenance and repair, motor 
pool services, and property management support such as 
warehousing, supply, inventory, shipping, receiving, 
handling flight hardware, property disposal, move operations 
and food services.

The procurement was handled under a GSA program, which 
allows MSFC to choose which companies, already under 
contract with GSA, receive the solicitation. Three 
quotations were received and evaluated. The order supersedes 
an effort involving similar services provided by Cortez III 
Service Corporation of Albuquerque, N.M., under contract 
NAS8-97327.
