A -- CLIENT SERVER SOFTWARE FOR ACCESS CONTROL FOR USE WITH PROXIMITY CARD TECHNOLOGY Sol IPO-96-141. Contact Kristi Pigue, Mail Stop E581, P.O. Box 1663, Los Alamos, NM 87545. The University of California which operates the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) under contract to the Department of Energy (DOE), is seeking an industrial partner to participate in the development of new client server software for access control for use with proximity card technology. Currently available systems do not provide for adequate accountability and reporting functionality. LANL is seeking a collaboration under the terms of Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with an industrial partner to develop a client server, access control and accountability information system. The requirements for such a system have been developed by LANL personnel. LANL personnel will provide the system design and develop the information system software. The industrial partner will be required to provide proximity technology capable of reading cards/tags from a distance of at least 10 feet, software which interfaces the input devices (readers) to the controlling hardware, software which interfaces the controlling hardware to the information system software and technical input into the information system software development. Prospective partners must demonstrate the ability to maintain and market the software and also have programs for quality assurance and technical support of the integrated system. Any company that wishes to receive more information concerning this program must respond with a statement of intent, describing the company's technical expertise, financial resources, quality assurance practices, market share, and motivation for participation in the program. The statement of interest must be dated within 30 days from the date of this notice. (142)
