REQUEST FOR VOLUNTEERS TO SERVE ON NASA/INDUSTRY PROCESS ACTION TEAM POC: Tom O'Toole tel: 202/358-0478. NASA has established a working group of NASA and industry representatives called the NASA/Industry Process Action Team (PAT). The PAT provides a forum for the examination and discussion of issues and concerns associated with improving the operational aspects of current procurement policies and procedures. Members are afforded the opportunity to identify issues and concerns to be addressed by NASA during the PAT's tenure and to provide their individual or organizational viewpoints on procurement policy and procedure changes developed by NASA. Based on the issues and concerns discussed during the PAT meetings, PAT members may be asked to assist in the presentation of an industry-wide conference on procurement issues. Membership is open to NASA contractors of any size willing to commit two people (primary/alternate) for a one year term. The planned PAT will consist of approximately 20 members from industry, both large and small businesses, four NASA representatives, and a member from a law firm with Government contracts experience. The PAT will meet quarterly, unless the number and complexity of policy issues under consideration merit more frequent meetings. NASA contractors and law firms that who desire membership on the PAT should contact Tom O'Toole, NASA Headquarters, Code HC, Washington, DC 20546-0001, telephone (202) 358-0478, not later than November 30, 1996.
