All software documentation and other materials to be delivered under this contract should be delivered in electronic format such as 3.5'' disk or CD ROM if available. The offeror will be required to meet each of the Government's minimum screening requirements in order to continue to the second step of the Government's three-step evaluation and award selection process. The minimum requirements are as follows: The application shall only include commerical off-the-shelf software and must be regularly sold or traded to the general public in the course of normal business operations. Software which must be developed specifically to meet DoD depot maintenance requirements will be unacceptable. The offeror must have five customers using their MRP II COTS application with two having workload dedicated to repair or overhaul. The application must provide all the functionalities listed above. The application must be capable of operating in an open system, client-server environment and support ORACLE 7.X relational database management system, SQL access and the Microsoft Windows graphical user interface. It must operate on an HP9000 or SUN SPARC Center 2000 server platform and run on one or more of the following operating sytems: HPUX, Solaris, SCO UNIX or Windows NT.

Detailed evaluation of the offers (the second evaluation step) will evaluate each offeror's functional, technical and interface capabilities, life cycle support, past performance, subcontracting plan goals as well as their price. All offerors determined within the competive range after the detailed evaluation will be allowed to continue on the third step and provide an Operational Capability Demonstration. Final award will be made to the offeror whose proposal contains the combination of those criteria offering the best overall value to the Government.
