Given that with localized basis sets the mathematical representation depends on where your atoms are. In order to eliminate that fact you would do the following (I am giving the example for a dimer because that is simple, if you are looking at something else that you need help with, please tell me what it is). Step 1: Do the calculation for the dimer with atoms A and B as you usually would Step 2: Take the input from step 1 and replace atom A with a Bq center but place the same basis set at the Bq center that atom A would have had and do the calculation Step 3: Take the input from step 1 and replace atom B with a Bq center but place the same basis set at the Bq center that atom B would have had and do the calculation Step 4: Take the result from step 1 and subtract the results from step 2 and 3 to get the BSSE free bond energy. If you want to know how to set up the calculations for step 2 and 3, please have a look at the QA test cases in NWChem. In particular the test case dft_bsse (look for the dft_bsse.nw file) should give you a good idea of how to do this.
