70 -- AIRCRAFT MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM SOFTWARE POC Elmer Padgett tel: 202-358-2362 THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT SYNOPSIS/REQUEST FOR INFORMATION -- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA's) Aircraft Management Office intends to implement a Commercial-Off-The Shelf (COTS) application(s) to support the maintenance, logistics, engineering, and operations functions associated with supporting NASA's fleet of commercial and research aircraft. (1) A maintenance module is needed to support the business processes of scheduling and tracking aircraft maintenance work/repairs. The software should have the capability to manage, control, schedule and track all aspects of aircraft maintenance work and work orders; quality assurance; rotables control, and airframe and parts inspections. (2) A logistics module is needed to support the business processes of aircraft parts inventory control and parts tracking, and support aircraft inventory management (requisition, ordering, scheduling and distribution of aircraft parts). (3) An engineering module is needed to support the business processes for processing engineering change requests, and managing, controlling, scheduling and tracking the resulting work orders; manage the configuration control process associated with all changes made to each aircraft; and provide for on-line access and review/redline of engineering documents. (4) An operations module is needed to support the business processes to schedule aircraft and flights/missions, schedule/track crews, maintain flight log/records and manifests, process flight requests, track enginne/airframe hours, and track flight and maintenance crew currency (training). The information requested pertains to the availability of COTS packages which provide aircraft management information and operate in an integrated fashiion across a variety of operating environments. Parties may identify their capability to respond to this requirement by submitting technical literature on one or more COTS products. The literature must include the following in order to allow the Government the ability to evaluate the product on the initial submittal: a) a description of the functional capabilities; b) the minimum and optimum computing platform required; c) a list of current customers d) description of any limitations, copyrights, patents, or other restrictions; and e) identificaton of companion software which is required to operate the product. Please submit nine (9) copies of your response. A determination to issue a Request for Proposals/Invitation for Bids will be base on responses received from this synopsis. The submittal requirements addressed above are to be sent to NASA Headquarters, ATTN: JT/Elmer Padgett, 300 E Street, SW, Washington, DC 20546 . NOTE; THIS NOTICE IS NOT A REQUEST FOR A COMPETITIVE PROPOSAL! NO SOLICITATION DOCUMENT EXISTS. (0289)
