70 -- DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE (DOD) STANDARD PROCUREMENT SYSTEM SOL N68939-95-R-0008 DUE 041095 POC Contact Lois Hudson, Contract Officer, David Hecht, 703/274- 1356 The Government intends to procure a Standard Procurement System (SPS) for the Department of Defense (DoD). It is DoD~s intent to procure a commercial system which will evolve to meet DoD~s full requirements. These requirements include standard business processes supported by standard sharable data, policies, and procedures. SPS shall support Electronic Commerce/Electronic Data Interchange (EC/EDI). SPS will eventually replace the numerous automated information systems (AISs) currently used in DoD, as well as to automate procurement sites which are currently not automated or only semi-automated. The current AISs perform a broad spectrum of procurement and procurement support functions, are hosted on a variety of platforms, and address the requirements of all procurement communities (inventory control point, installation, and major system) in both the pre-award and post- award phases. This acquisition includes software licenses, and options for the deployment (including installation, data migration, and training) and support (including maintenance, upgrading and retrofit) of the system. It is requested that all interested vendors respond in writing, citing the solicitation number, to : Contracting Officer, Standard Procurement System (AQAC-DPCSC), Room 8B481, Cameron Station, Alexandria, Virginia 22304-6100. Responses may also be faxed to (703) 274-1356, or e-mailed to HECHT_DAVID@HQ2CCGW.HQ.DLA.MIL. Since SPS will be a commercial derivative system, only vendors who currently have a existing commercial automated procurement system to offer will be considered. Vendors are requested to send existing brochures or other documents describing their existing commercial system. Vendors may also be requested to provide a one-hour briefing to an interservice, interdisciplinary Government team. As the Government contemplates electronic transmittal and receipt of all documents relating to this procurement, vendors are strongly encouraged to provide INTERNET e-mail addresses for their points of contact on this solicitation. The Government intends to issue a draft solicitation for industry review and comment in mid-April 1995, and to conduct a pre-solicitation conference and industry briefing in early May. Vendors are strongly encouraged to provide written comments on the draft solicitation. The Government plans to make all documents accessible to prospective offerors on a Government electronic bulletin board system (BBS). (0093)
