B -- EVALUATION OF THE U.S. FEDERAL GOVERNMENT'S IMPLEMENTATION OF THE GOVERNMENT INFORMATION LOCATOR SERVICE (GILS) SOL KECI-96-006. Contact Points: Robert H. Corey, Contract Specialist, (202) 501-2525, Deborah A. Ward, Contracting Officer, (202) 501-2518. The General Services Administration (GSA) intends to procure technical services to evaluate the Government's implementation effort on the Government Information Locator Service (GILS). The requirement is considered to be non-competitive because of the unique capabilities of the research team involved. The University of North Texas will provide Messrs. William E. Moen and Charles R. McClure for work on this project. These coresearchers have conducted several projects, the results of which have formed the foundation of the GILS from its inception to its current configuration. This current requirement will provide the government with information about: how GILS is serving the various user groups, how GILS is improving public access to government information, how federal agencies are progressing with their implementation, and how GILS is working as a tool for information resources management. The evaluation activities will result in both quantitative and qualitative information that the contractor will analyze and summarize as part of the findings of this project. The anticipated start date for the contract is September 1996, with a seven (7) month period of performance. No telephone calls will be accepted. Responses should be in writing and include technical information sufficient to determine capability. See Numbered Note 22. (180)
