70 -- TAC-X REQUEST FOR COMMENT DUE 070795 POC Contact Point, Mr. Floyd V. Groce, 202-433-4533 The Department of the Navy has undertaken an effort to examine areas where commercial technologies have the potential to cost effectively meet program requirements, and provide the benefits of commercial practices broadly throughout the Navy's programs and commands. This effort involves examining commercial technologies, ordering technologies into related areas, and developing acquisition strategies to embark on commercial programs in those technology areas. An Internet web page, at www.nismc.mil, has been constructed to disseminate the Navy's TAC-X planning information, and to solicit industry comments and recommendations. The TAC-X World Wide Web can be accessed by dialing the IP address 204.254.216.31. The Navy invites detailed and frank dialog with industry regarding the strategy and content of future commercial information technology acquisitions. The TAC-X web page includes an industry questionnaire identifying topic areas for industry comment, and provides instructions for responding to the TAC-X project office. The Navy expects to incorporate industry input in the formulation of future acquisitions, and enhance the partnership between Government and industry. The Navy intends to extend the dialog with industry throughout the TAC-X process through the facilities of the TAC-X web page. (0177)
