- Description
- Draft IMDS CDB PWS Request for Information letter The Air Force Lifecycle Management Center (AFLCMC) Program Executive Office (PEO) Business Enterprise Systems (BES), Logistics Legacy Division Maintenance Branch (HIAM), herein after referred to AFLCMC PEO BES/HIAM, located in Maxwell AFB-Gunter Annex, AL is the Program Management Office. The existing IMDS CDB sustainment trajectory is incompatible with recent fiscal realities and functional user needs within the government, and given this environment, modernizing IMDS CDB has become an economic imperative. As a result, AFLCMC PEO BES/HIAM PMO is conducting market research to seek qualified contractors to commission a study assessment and analysis that will allow the unraveling of all IMDS CDB system's technical complexities and highlight opportunities that will enable decision makers to consider future system modernization efforts. IMDS CDB is the Air Force's base-level automated maintenance information management system. IMDS CDB provides peacetime and wartime readiness and operational support of aircraft, missiles, Unmanned Aerospace Systems (UAS), trainers, vehicles, simulators, communications-electronics, and support equipment for maintenance activities. The system is used primarily to assist managers in making decisions by presenting data that provides effective scheduling of equipment usage, work, and the labor force. The system collects data necessary to support local manager's requirements, mechanize the record keeping function, and produce reports required by off-base agencies or by local management. The system supports 239,000 users across 82 AFSCs spanning the Active Duty force, Air National Guard/AF Reserve units, and Royal Netherlands Air Force (RNLAF) locations. IMDS CDB is designed to operate on the Unisys Dorado 780 mainframe. PCs with either terminal emulation software and/or standard web browsers are used by users to communicate directly to the system. The system has 16 interfaces and 17 subsystems (see attached ISP for details). The IMDS CDB system leverages a dual database structure consisting of a hierarchical and Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) database. The system's code base consists of over 3.11M lines of code, 45,000 function points, and 4,000 configuration managed items. The bulk of IMDS is written in COBOL 85, but includes a number of other programming languages including JAVA, JavaScript, Extensible Mark-up Language (XML), and Hyper Text Mark-up Language (HTML), Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), and Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformation (XSLT).
