All responsible sources may submit a proposal which shall be evaluated. No telephone or other requests for procurement history shall be accepted. The U.S. ARMY COMMUNICATIONS ELECTRONICS COMMAND (CECOM) has established an Electronic Bulletin Board (EBB) to provide electronic transmittal of Request of Proposals (RFPs) from Government to Industry. EFFECTIVE 1 OCTOBER 1994, All SOLICITATIONS ISSUED FROM FORT MONMOUTH FOR ACQUISITIONS OVER The SMALL PURCHASE THRESHOLD WILL BE SOLICITED VIA THE EBB. AFTER 1 OCTOBER 1994, ONLY THOSE PARTIES WHO Do NOT HAVE THE EQUIPMENT NECESSARY TO ACCESS THE EBB WILL Be FORWARDED HARD COPIES UPON REQUEST. HOWEVER, As OF 1 JANUARY 1995 HARD COPY WILL NO LONGER BE DISTRIBUTED. (Exceptions are Post, Camp and Station acquisitions.) All interested parties wishing to do business with CECOM are invited to access, operate, send and receive data from the CECOM EBB System. To become a user of the EBB you will need an identification cose and password in addition to a computer terminal equipped with the necessary hardware and software to interface with the EBB System. The hardware and software required includes a computer, modem, telephone line, communication software, word processing software and a printer. If one intends to print downloaded files (after decompressing) a fast, higher resolution printer is advantageous. The EBB itself is an IBM compatible computer running commercial bulletin board software. The EBB is equipped with Hayes Ultra 14.4 band modems that are capable of supporting other Hayes compatible 14,400 band or lower modems. User's computer must be equipped with a Hayes compatible 14.4 (or slower) modem. (Baud rates less than 2400 are not recommended.) The EBB runs on MS-DOS Operating System software.

If a file is not in Word for Windows format, the file will be in Rich Text Format or ASCII format -- a format capable of being imported into Word for Windows. While not required, a 17'' Super VGA monitor will better accomodate on screen viewing of certain solicitation documents.
