The items to be acquired through the issuance of electronic delivery orders will be in the areas of Cables and Cable Connectors, Cartridges and Tapes, Data Communications, Disk Drives, Input Devices, Memory and Miscellaneous.

Electronic mail communication between Government and contractor personnel will occur throughout the life of the contract. SPEDI Ordering Officers seach on-line catalogs and place automated delivery orders using Electric Data Interchange (EDI). The 850 or Purchase Order transaction set is used to send the information to SPEDI contractors who have been awarded SPEDI contracts. Commerical off-the-shelf EDI translation software and Value Added Networks (VAN) are used to exchange the EDI information. The EDI order, uploaded to a Department of Defense Compliant VAN, will contain barcoded label data to be downloaded from the VAN by the contractor, printed, and the label affixed to the package for delivery. Deliveries are made within 24 hours of placing the order. The labels are scanned at Receiving. This process not only documents the item as received, but initiates the payment process. The scanned delivery order automatically creates an invoice which is transmitted once a week, electronically, to the Comptroller for payment. Payment occurs within 10 days. The Request for Proposal will be released approximately 28 September with proposals due 30 days thereafter. All responsible sources may submit an offer which will beconsidered by the agency. (0251)
