A -- INTREGRATION, RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT FOR THE DECLASSIFICATION PRODUCTIVITY INITIATIVE SOL DE-RP01-98NN500049 DUE 120397 POC Patrick Thornton, Contract Specialist, (202)426-0126 Michael B. Raizen, Contracting Officer, (202)426-0126 This is a modification to previously issued notice under DE-RP01-97NN50049 issued July 3, 1997. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Office of Declassification has a need to develop, test, support and integrate a computer software automated document declassification system which will initially aid human reviewers in this process, with the potential to eventually replace human reviewers. For a full description of this requirement, please refer to the original synopsis notice. Please note that the maximum annual level of effort to be required is reduced by slightly over 42% and is now projected not to exceed approximately 17,300 Direct Productive Labor Hours (DPLH). In addition, the Office of Declassification is hosting a one day public workshop on the Declassification Productivity Initiative (DPI). The DPI workshop will provide critical insights into this far reaching program and the classified document review imperatives that necessitated its creation. It will acquaint the attendee with the past declassification initiatives and how the Department's latest efforts strive to learn from past mistakes. The workshop will also provide a clear understanding of what DPI is today and a vision of where its going in the future. The workshop will be held on November 6, 1997 (not October 30, 1997 as previously advertised) from 9:00am to 4:00pm in the James Forrestal Auditorium, DOE Headquarters, 1000 Independence Ave., S.W., Washington, DC.
