Notice of STRICOM/INDUSTRY/ACADEMIA BULLETIN BOARD (SIA BB): The U.S. Army Simulation, Training and Instrumentation Command (STRICOM) established an electronic bulletin board system that has been available since 16 February 1993 to government agencies, industry, and academic institutions. The SIA BB is designed to share information between STRICOM, Industry, and Academic concerning potential and actual acquisition programs during all phases of the acquisition process. A Commerce Business Daily article giving notification of the SIA BB was published o/a 8 February 1993. It allows users to communicate with STRICOM via an automated program. The system operates at up to 9600 baud, modem settings are: 8 bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity. Data regarding future and in-progress projects/acquisition are available as both text files and self extracting compressed files. It is a secured system requiring accounts and passwords. New account users are required to complete the application that is posted on the system and access is automatically approved. The phone numbers for access and/or establishing accounts are: Commercial (407) 381- 8666/8667/8668/8669 or Defense Switching Network (DSN) 960- 8666/8667/8668/8669.
