To NAVTIP Partners: Since our vendors' conference held in April 1995, the responsibility for the base communications modernization function within the Department of the Navy, including the Naval Telecommunications Infrastructure Project (NAVTIP), was transferred to the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR) under the cognizance of the Ship and Shore Communications Program Office - PMW 172. This transfer was executed in the month of May 1995. The Naval Information Systems Management Center, Contracting Directorate (NISMC 02) will remain the contracting office for NAVTIP. To expedite the acquisition approval and award process and to pursue a prompt and all- encompassing NAVTIP award, SPAWAR has established an Integrated Product Team (IPT). The NAVTIP IPT will be managed by an Executive IPT which will be co-chaired by SPAWAR PMW 172 and a member from the Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense (C3IA). There are three functional IPTs reporting to the Executive IPT for the responsibility of acquisition, requirements and systems engineering. The NAVTIP IPT is aggressively pursuing revisions to the major events timeline, and the results are expected to be published by early September 1995. E. M. Scarborough Contracting Officer (0202)
