- Description
- Northern Region Contracting Center-Leavenworth is seeking sources among GSA schedule contractors capable of providing development of checkpoint/modify/restart capability for the Advanced Warfighting Simulation (AWARS) using Progress Software Corporat ion??????s PSE Pro. Contractors must be capable of providing additional development/modification of PSE Pro software. AWARS requires a capability to save data from the model, change code and/or data, and then restart the simulation from a selected point. PSE Pro provides an application programming interface (API) that allows storage of persistent C++ objects. It provides support for a large data set, transaction and recovery capabilities, creation and manipulation of databases as operating system files, transparent retrieval and storage of persistent objects, and recoverable save points. PSE Pro software allows simulations to store and retrieve data through its persistent object storage engine and eliminates the cumbersome and difficult writing and readi ng of data to and from flat files. The contractor will perform the following tasks for Phase I: Provide consultation services to review AWARS architecture, analyze load requirements, identify scalability issues, analyze integration issues, help design an implementation plan, train AWARS programmers in the use of PSE Pro, develop use cases for C++ Standard Template Library and Dumpleton Software Consulting??????s OSE components used in AWARS, and assist in maximizing performance of AWARS?????? implementati on of PSE Pro; provide general technical consultation, training, and expertise to support the in-house development of a checkpoint/modify/restart capability for AWARS using an implementation of PSE Pro; contractor will perform the following tasks for Phase II (Optional) if exercised: develop and provide a recommendation document for performance issues based on the results of Phase I and the analysis of PSE Pro software usage by government personnel; provide weekly consultation and training to maximize use of PSE Pro for AWARS study/exercise support. Phase I work is required to begin in late July to meet government deadlines. All responses will be considered and must include proof of ability to develop/modify PSE Pro software. Provide GSA schedule contra ct number and labor categories and rates for this service. Responses shall include company name, address, POC, phone number, fax number, email address, business size, taxpayer identification number, DUNS number and CAGE Code. All contractors must be regi stered in the Central Contractor Registration at http://www.ccr.dlis.dla.mil/ccr . All responses must reference W91QF4-4190-NB36 and MUST be received NLT 10:00 PM, CDT, 15 Jul 04.
