<h3>NASA Selects Providers of Information Technology
Services for Four NASA Research Centers</h3> 

NASA Glenn Research Center, Cleveland, OH, has selected Intellisource 
of Vienna, VA (recently acquired by Affiliated Computer Services, 
Dallas, TX), partnered with Science Applications International Corp. 
of San Diego, CA, to provide information technology services for the 
four NASA Aerospace Technology centers under the Outsourcing Desktop 
Initiative (ODIN) for NASA.



The total value for the four delivery orders is estimated at $123.7 
million, including optional infrastructure upgrades.



The services will be ordered under the existing ODIN master contract, 
which is administered by NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, 
MD. They include comprehensive desktop computer, server, local area 
network, telephone, local video, administrative radio, remote 
communication and public address services.



Glenn is the lead center for the Aerospace Technology ODIN delivery 
orders.  The Aerospace Technology centers, including Glenn, are Ames 
Research Center in Moffett Field, CA; Dryden Flight Research Center 
in Edwards, CA; and Langley Research Center in Hampton, VA.  The 
breakdown by Center is $43.3 million for Glenn; $37.4 million for 
Langley; $27.2million for Ames; and $15.8 million for Dryden.



There will be four firm fixed-priced delivery orders, one for each 
Aerospace Technology center.  The period of performance is 36 months 
beginning on October 1 at Glenn and Dryden; November 1 at Langley and 
December 1 at Ames.
