Sources Sought: The National Guard Bureau is contemplating issuing a solicitation for Desktop Optical Digital Imagery (ODI) Systems for the Management of Military Personnel Records at state level. In 1992 the Army National Guard (ARNG) converted all National Guard Officer Official Military Personnel Files (OMPF) from AB Dick Micrographic records management to the Personnel Electronic Records Management System (PERMS/ODIS) using a Unit Operating System and Informix Database. ODI at state level must have the capability of input, output, storage, retrieval, and producing a compatible image transfer by 8mm mgnetic tape to the Army National Guard Readiness Center (ARNGRC). ODI must also interface with the existing Army PERMS system. This includes an interface with the original document matrix and the ability to pull out relevant fields of information while maintaining database and data integrity. ODI systems at state level will be a client server system. Requirements for the systems will consist of, but not limited to; a duplex high speed paper scanner, input file server for the temporary storage of scanned images, host database server to store information on images written to the juke box, quality control, index, problem resolution, and retrieval workstation, optical juke box, high speed laser printer with server and 8mm tape backup system. System size will depend on each states and strength. Sources capable of providing the Destktop ODI system and the associated support should provide the following: 1. Name, address, phone and fax numbers and point of contact. 2. Provide two (2) copies of commercial equipment data and descriptive literature, anticipated delivery and installation requirements. Telephone requests will not be accepted. Firms responding to this synopsis must do so in writing. Facsimile requests will be accepted at (703) 681-0668. THIS REQUEST IS FOR INFORMATION PURPOSE ONLY.
