This contract is concerned with Phase 1 (Analysis) only of a four phase
program leading to the implementation of an integrated information processing
system for NPIC. During Phase 1, the present NPIC substantive data base
will be analyzed, the specific NPIC objectives which the data base is aimed
at supporting will be determined, and information systems in operation or
development at other facilities will be studied and evaluated as to their
relative merits and pertinence to NPIC problems. The culmination (Continued)

cations of existing procedures and equipment, introduction of new
procedures and introduction of new data processing equipment.
Prepare functional and performance specifications for the overall

of this phase will be the conceptualization of an information processing
system for NPIC, detailed design specifications required to satisfy that
concept, and an implementation plan for realizing the concept.
This project was orginally approved by TDB at a cost of The
cost increase reflects the adjustments in labor rates which became
effective 1 January 1966.
