COMMERCE BUSINESS DAILY ISSUE OF MARCH 28,1996 PSA#1561OASIS INFORMATION (NAS INTERFACE SIMULATOR) POC: Ms Patricia A. Green,
Contracting Officer, ASU-350, (202) 376-6289. This SPECIAL NOTICE is
to state that the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA), Flight
Service Stations Product Team for the Operational and Supportability
Implementation System (OASIS) is providing a National Airspace System
(NAS) interface simulator as a developmental aid for vendors interested
in the OASIS acquisition. The use of the simulator is not mandatory for
OASIS contract award consideration. Vendors who elect to use the
simulator do so at their own risk. The Government will, in good faith,
provide an operational interface simulator. The Government will
provide to NIST X.25 certified-vendors, as verified by the FAA, an
information package that contains the sequence of events, such as the
following, for use of the simulator: (1) Details on how to obtain a
preprogrammed CODEX 3600 modem; (2) FAATC schedule for NAS NADIN II
Packet Switching Network (PSN) validation testing; (3) NADIN II Test
Node ports for End-to-End (Loop Back) development; (4) Recorded Service
``B'' (Flight Plan) data via a NADIN II Test Node port; and (5)
Recorded Service ``A'' (WMSCR Weather Text) data via a NADIN II Test
Node port. It is anticipated that simulator usage time allotments will
be distributed as FAA-controlled windows of opportunities each day.
The sequence of events, availability, support, and general simulator
service are subject to change without prior notification.
Simulator/NADIN II Test Node access security and time monitoring has
been implemented via the CODEX Modem Access Controller system. Vendors
will be able to request their own passwords. Vendors interested in
receiving the information package must submit their NIST X.25
certification documents to the OASIS Contracting Officer for FAA
verification. Any questions concerning this SPECIAL NOTICE or the OASIS
project shall be directed to the OASIS Contracting Officer either by
INTERNET (address: pgreen@mail.hq.faa.gov) or U.S. mail at the
following address: Federal Aviation Administration, ATTN: Ms. Patricia

NW, Washington, DC 20004 (Telephone number: (202) 376-6289; FAX
