Process Manager, Lumis Culver, (205) 842-0749. The Army Materiel
Command (AMC) will implement Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) in
December 1996 utilizing the American National Standards Institute
(ANSI) X12 3050 version. This system will allow for automated
dissemination of procurement information to participating trading
partners via (the Department of Defense (DoD) Defense Information
Systems Agency (DISA) architecture and Value Added Networks (VANs) and
Value Added Services (VASs)) the Federal Acquisition Computer Network
(FACNET). During FY95 AMC purchased approximately $15B worth of goods
and services. Frequently purchased federal supply classes are as
follows: 1005, 1015, 1305, 1315, 1370, 1430, 2530, 2540, 2610, 5430,
5820, 5855, 5895, 5962 and 6150. Each business entity who intends to do
business with the federal government must use ANSI X.12 transaction set
838 to register as a Federal Government Trading Partner. Centralized
registration will standardize registration procedures across all
agencies, eliminate redundancy, and provide a common method for
gathering information on trading partners. Companies should begin the
registration process as soon as possible to prevent any delays in the
EDI system. To initiate the trading partner registration process, call
1-800-EDI-3414 (e-mail dodedi@acq.osd.mil). For additional
information, contact: The Electronic Commerce Office, 511 Leesburg
