c. Systems Furniture Procurement: The Request for Proposal (RFP)
for the National Photographic Interpretation Center's (NPIC) system
furniture was mailed to seven potential offerors on 18 April 1984. A
pre-proposal conference was conducted at NPIC on 03 May 1984. Five
offerors attended the meeting as two offerors submitted no-bids prior
to the meeting. Most of the questions dealt with the electrical
specification and how the workstation would be electrified. An
amendment plus written minutes are currently being prepared for
distribution to all offerors. To date one other offeror has
submitted a no-bid response to our RFP. Proposals are due 01 June
1984 with contract award projected for June 1984.
d. LIMS Quality Assurance Contract Extension: In order to bring the
LIMS Quality Assurance (QA) support effort into conformance with
development effort scheduling, the QA Contractor (CTEC, Inc.) has
submitted a proposal for a one-year extension of its present
contract, through 30 September 1989. In addition to the proposed
extension, CTEC's proposal represents a redefinition of the QA
support currently contracted with a proposed estimated cost increase
of approximately $1.3M. Contingent upon the availability of funds
and the results of a technical evaluation and audit analysis, action
will be, taken to negotiate and finalize such an agreement by mid June
1984.
e. Maintenance Of Intergraph Equipment: A joint review of several
Intergraph contracts has been conducted by Automatic Data Processing
& Engineering Branch (ADP&EB/PD/CL) and Office of Current Production
and Analytical Support Group (CPAS/CDP/SC). The findings of the
review indicate that substantial quantities of equipment are not
currently contractually covered for required maintenance services.
CPAS has subsequently been requested by ADP&EB to provide an accurate
listing of all Intergraph equipment that is subject to maintain
services so that the various Intergraph contracts may be updated. It
is anticipated that additional funds in the amount of approximately
$70,000 will be required to update the contracts. CPAS has initiated
an updated equipment list and an appropriate funding document which
will be forwarded to ADP&EB as soon as possible.
