It May Be Too Late for GRC to Advertise

NASA Solicitation: Purchase of Billboard Advertising Space
“NASA/GRC has a requirement for the purchase of advertising space on billboard #222 located at Rt. 237 n/o Snow Road, Cleveland, OH. The advertising is scheduled to start the week of May 18, 2009 and will remain on display for one (1) year. NASA/GRC intends to purchase this item from Clear Channel Outdoor, Inc. 12222 Plaza Dr, Cleveland, OH. This company owns the billboard and any advertising space must be purchased from them.”
Group favors moving museum from NASA center to downtown, Cleveland Plain Dealer
“The Greater Cleveland Partnership’s support of the move is important because it has been an ardent backer of NASA Glenn programs. Not enough folks know what goes on at NASA Glenn and its Plum Brook testing facility near Sandusky, Roman said. Bringing the NASA brand and attractions downtown would be a boon to the space agency and the science center, he said.”
Keith’s note: Hey wait a minute: what ever happened to all of those scary warnings that NASA is not allowed to advertise? Releasing a formal government solicitation notice seeking to purchase advertising on a large billboard would seem to fly in the face of that (supposed) advertising prohibition.
