D -- GLO AUTOMATED RECORDS SYSTEM SOFTWARE ENHANCEMENT AND MAINTENANCE POC Ronald Corsi, Contracting Officer, 303-236-0226. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC). The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Eastern States Office has a continuing requirement for the maintenance and enhancement of the General Land Office (GLO) Automated Records System which was initiated in 1989. This system is a project to scan, index, and store to optical disk 9 million GLO land title documents dating back to the late 1700's. The GLO Systems software supports the data conversion and retrieval processes and includes: Operating System: SCO UNIX 386 v4.2, MS-DOS 6.22, Networking: EXCELAN XLN, Novell v4.10, Imaging: LaserData LVNET, Relational Database Management System: Oracle v7.16, Application Development toolkit: SQL*Forms v3.1, Oracle Lanserver for UNIX, a custom workflow package, custom indexing/quality assurance packages, and a custom accounting package. The development of the software is 70 percent complete. The maintenance and enhancement include converting the present DOS-based system into a Windows environment and enhancing, upgrading, and replacing existing DOS-based applications to take full advantage of the Windows platform. Additional software programming and related systems documentation support are required to allow for automation and retrieval of non-standard GLO documents at Eastern States, i.e., multi-page documents, survey plats, and survey field notes. All programming software was custom designed by SAIC, beginning in 1989. This project is unique and was the first of its kind. SAIC has been solely responsible for all software development and maintenance. SAIC has unique knowledge which provides project continuity. Transition to another contractor is not practicable due to the current status of the project and SAIC's unique knowledege. SAIC is uniquely qualified to perform the required services since they are the only firm able to provide software enhancements and maintenance for the GLO Automated Records System. The Department of Interior approval to acquire FIP resources has not been received prior to publication of this notice but is currently being processed. See Numbered Note(s): 22. (0151)
