This is a request for information; neither a draft statement of work nor are specifications available. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is seeking information on a Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) software designed specifically for tracking of information in a Federal Government Equal Employment Office environment. The FCC Office of Workplace Diversity (OWD), which currently employs four full-time staff members, ensures equal employment opportunities within the FCC. In order to successfully perform this mission, the OWD is in need of an COTS software product which tracks EEO- related work activities. The OWD requires the tracking system to reside in a single data base. OWD must be able to instantly call up on computer screens the ststus of pending cases, workload statistics, who is handling particular issues, training schedules, employee counseling status, EEo case processing, special projects and hot issues. The system must also have the ability to run in-hoise reports and reports required by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. The software will operate in the following IRM environment: Client server environment which includes Sun 1000's as dedicated database servers running the Solaris operating system; HP file servers; network operating system running Novell 3.11/3.12; and HP 486-33 or better personal computers running MS Windows 3.1 graphical user interface running under MD-DOS 5.0/6/0. The communication protocols supported include IPX/XPS, TCP/IP, OSI and LAT. The standard database environment is SYbase with Powerbuilder providing a GUI interface tool. Paradox 4.5 for Windows is used for small, end user database efforts. Office automation software includes WordPerfect 5.1 for Windows, Excel 4.0, Harvard Graphics 1.0, as well as GroupWise by Novell 4.1. An upgrade is planned from Windows 3.1 to Windows 95 during the Spring of 1998, and is exploring the idea of upgrading its Offie Automation software during this time period. The FCC requests interested parties to submit information describing product offerings which will perform these functions. Also submit product brochures, capability statements or other descriptive literature which provides sufficient detail to enable preliminary functional evaluation of the COTS product. Information should be mailed to: Federal Communications Commission, Acquisitions Branch, 1919 M Street, NW, Room 404, Washington, DC 20552, ATTN; Scott Paterson.
