MEMORANDUM FOR: See Distribution
Chief, Management Staff, ODP
SUBJECT Federal Software Exchange Program
1. The purpose of this memorandum is to bring to your
attention the Federal Software Exchange Program. This program is
administered by the Federal Software Exchange Center (FSEC) of
the General Services Administration and is designed to promote
the sharing of common-use software among government agencies.
FSEC is tasked with acquiring government-owned or developed
unclassified software and documentation and making it available
government-wide. The objectives of this program are to reduce
the time, cost and personnel resources required for software
acquisition and development.
2. Periodically, the FSEC publishes a catalog which
summarizes the available software. Copies of the January 1981
catalog are available for review in ODP Management Staff (Room
2D0109, Headquarters). Components should review the FSEC catalog
prior to procuring or developing software. Attachment A is the
subject index from the September 1981 catalog and is provided as
a sample of the types of software available from the FSEC.
3. Components are also requested to periodically review
their software inventory for candidates for submission to FSEC.
The process appears relatively straightforward and requires
submitting an abstract form (SF 185, Attachment B) to the FSEC.
4. Note that the submitting agency is not responsible for
the maintenance of software submitted to the FSEC. Thus, a CIA
component obtaining software from FSEC will have to maintain the
software. For further information regarding the services
provided by the FSEC and the procedures to provide or obtain
softwar at 756-6150, or
