D -- DEVELOP A PC-WINDOWS BASED SYSTEM THAT UTILIZES A COMMERCIAL OFF-THE-SHELF (COTS) DATABASE (MS-ACCESS). SOL NA-98-09 DUE 061698 POC Patricia Pierce -- 610-975-4248 The USDA-Forest Service intends to award a contract for the development and ownership of a PC-Window based system that utilizes a Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) database (MS-Access). A proto-type based upon several existing State systems will be used as a model for the new system. The system will also need the ability to electronically exchange data to/from other related Federal automated systems. The system will also provide standard and ad-hoc querry reports that will assist the FEPP manager in documenting and analyzing trends of acquisition and disposal of property. Graphic display of this data is also a requirement. The application will also produce annual acquisition plans, along with a reconciliation process to make physical inventory much easier to accomplish against the official NFC property data base. The ability to accept input from bar-code readers and other scanners is required. The gov't also intends to have two optional periods for technical support and maintenance. Offerors are to fax requests to P.Pierce at 610-975-4224. This set-aside for small businesses. (0121)
