b. DEFINITIONS
(1) "ADP resources" include ADPE (automatic data processing
equipment including data communications equipment necessary for the
utilization of ADPE and ADPE built to Government specifications),
personal services and software.
(2) "Automatic data processing equipment (ADPE)" means
general purpose, comercially available, and mass-produced automatic
data processing components and the hardware systems built from them,
regardless of size, capacity, or price that are designed to be applied
to the solution or processing of a variety of problems or
applications. This definition excludes items of ADPE (hardware and
associated software) that are specially designed (not configured) and/or
when physically incorporated as part of a weapons or space system or
manufactured for the Government under a hardware development contract.
(3) "ADP personal services" encompass "ADP personnel" who
are those individuals connected with ADP or ADP-related support
functions (e.g., ADP management officials and systems development,
applications development, and operations personnel). Included are
personnel from ADP user organizations, regardless of job title, whose
principal assignments consist of ADP functions in the user
organization. However, personnel who simply use ADP incidental to the
performance of their primary function are not considered ADP
personnel.
(4) "Software" encompasses all programs and routines such as
compilers, assemblers, utilities, subroutines, and data base management
systems used with ADPE.
