Washington, D.C. - Department of the Interior’s National Business Center announced today that it has been selected as the Department of Labor’s Human Resources Line of Business Shared Service Center Provider. DOL selected NBC through an open and competitive process which included both Federal and private sector organizations, as prescribed by Office of Management & Budget and the Office of Personnel Management as the eGov HR LOB initiative managing partner.

The services will be provided through an Interagency Agreement supported by a Service Level Agreement between the two agencies which includes performance metrics and milestones. Additionally, the NBC will provide migration services and structured project management support using System Development Life Cycle processes. In partnership with DOL and OPM, NBC migration activities, are scheduled to begin later this month with full implementation scheduled for fourth quarter FY2009.
