A -- REQUEST FOR INFORMATION: SURVEY OF COMMERCIAL AND DEVELOPMENTAL TECHNOLOGIES FOR THE INTEGRATED MAINTENANCE DATA SYSTEM POC Major Jacques Hamann, Contracting Officer, (617)377-6601. The Integrated Maintenance Data System (IMDS) program office, Electronic Systems Center (ESC/AVR), is in the process of examining the current methods of collecting, inputting and retrieving Air Force maintenance data and investigating ways to improve the overall system. CBD synopsis BAA #AV95-01, published 31 January 1995 and amended 6 February 1995, addresses the systems approach to interfacing with the Air Force legacy maintenance databases, and providing a standardized user interface. As a separate but parallel effort to BAA #AV95-01, ESC/AVR is seeking information and marketing demonstrations from industry on computer hardware, software and other technologies categorized as commercial off the shelf (COTS) or that are currently under development for commercial or Government application. These technologies should address components of the maintenance data collection, input and retrieval systems, with the goal of assisting Air Force maintenance organizations in accomplishing their daily tasks. Typical maintenance related functions include, but are not limited to, the following: (1) scheduling of personnel, equipment and aircraft; (2) parts ordering; (3) inventory tracking; (4) maintenance data collection; (5) maintaining aircraft configuration records; (6) accessing maintenance technical data on the flightline; (7) accessing aircraft status information; and (8) performing aircraft subsystem diagnostics. Information gathered and the demonstrations provided will assist ESC/AVR in identifying technologies for possible inclusion in future follow-on system level demonstrations at operational organizations. ESC/AVR will utilize the information/demonstrations from the BAA #AV95-01 effort and this RFI to support IMDS requirements definition, development of a business plan, and IMDS implementation contract award in the first quarter of FY97. Your response should include (1) a maximum two page (8 1/2 X 11, double spaced) summary explaining your technology/product, how it relates to the IMDS program, how and by whom it is being used or will be used, and how you would propose to demonstrate it to ESC/AVR; and (2) available product brochures. This RFI is for information and marketing demonstration purposes only and does not constitute an IFB or RFP. A reference library is not available at ESC and an industry briefing is not planned. ESC/AVR may invite follow-up presentations or demonstrations on particularly interesting technologies. Contact ESC/AVR at (617) 377-6123 for any additional information. Submit information to ESC/AVR, Bldg 1305, 20 Schilling Circle, Hanscom AFB, MA 01731-2816, no later than sixty (60) days after publication of this RFI. (0059)
