The current SFIMS is Microsoft .NET based system with C Sharp based software code. The SFIMS database resides on an Oracle based server utilizing SQL code. The purpose of SFIMS is to manage NAVAIR programs acquired Aircraft Launch And Recovery Equipment (ALRE) and Support Equipment that is intended for future Ship installation and/or Aircraft site activations.

Support the rewrite of the Staging Facility Inventory Management System (SFIMS) database software code when required. Modify, as needed, and maintain the Oracle database, the Navy Marine Corps Intranet (NMCI) based desktop user interface, the handheld tablet device programs to meet these requirements, and trouble shoot label printers used by SFIMS to print labels.� The SFIMS application interfaces with the NAVAIR Support Equipment Management System (SEMS) to retrieve reference data for support equipment (SE) used during normal processing of SE material in the staging facility. Additionally, SFIMS provides data to identify SE material movement while updating the SEMS inventory sub-system to provide visibility to the fleet of staging facility managed SE.
