This is the second phase of a depot prototype system development effort. A complete requirements analysis of depot aircraft maintenance operations was performed in Phase I (Contract Number F41624-94-C-5021). Phase II will use the results of Phase I to design, develop, and test a depot-level prototype integrated maintenance information capability. Potential offeror must have demonstrated experience in the areas of depot-level maintenance, information engineering, systems integration, test and evaluation, Computer-Aided Logistics Systems (CALS) specifications and standards, automated document processing, Standard Generalized Mark-up Language tagging schemes, standardized document interchange methodology, and software and hardware development. In order to provide potential offerors additional information about this effort, an Industry Day and one-on-one conferences will be held in February at AL/HRG, WPAFB. Those interested in participating should contact the sponsor in January for the exact time and location.
