The Biloxi, Miss., Sun-Herald reports today on NASA's A-76 competition to set up a shared services center to handle financial, human resources, procurement, information technology and customer relations operations. The twist: Not only do companies and the employee team have to submit their best bid for running such a center, they have to say at which NASA field office location they want to run it out of. That's gotten elected officials in Mississippi and Louisiana involved in lobbying for a CSC/Lockheed Martin proposal to use Stennis Space Center in southern Mississippi.
