D -- AUTOMATED DATA PROCESSING (ADP) SERVICES SOL MDA908-96-R-0052 DUE 092496 POC Contract Specialist, CARL EDWARDS, (202) 231-2834 The Virginia Contracting Activity, on behalf of The Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), intends to solicit and negotiate with Computer Based Systems, Inc. (CBSI) on a sole source basis to award a contract for Automated Data Processing (ADP) services for the DIA Automated Personnel Management Information System (APMIS). This procurement will provide software development, testing, training, documentation, maintenance, software modification, and technical support assistance to modify the Government-owned Joint Manpower and Personnel System (JMAPS) software to comply with DIA requirements for APMIS. CBSI developed JMAPS and is the sole owner of critical source coding documentation for JMAPS. CBSI possesses the in-depth knowledge of all the definitions of data elements in the JMAPS database, as well as internal links, indexes, and relationships among different tables in the database. Since modifications to one module of the JMAPS software could have an adverse affect on the operations of other modules of the software, thorough knowledge of the internal design is crucial to implementation of such changes. Other sources capable of satisfying this requirement are invited to submit clear and convincing data substantiating their capability to satisfy this requirement. All responses should reference MDA908-96-R-0052 (cde). Interested parties have 15 days from the publication date of this synopsis to submit their qualifications/capabilities which shall clearly substantiate their knowledge of the JMAPS program and their ability to modify this program using the CBSI source coding documentation. Such qualifications/capabilities will be used solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a full and open competition basis. Responses received without the requested information may be considered non-responsive to this synopsis. Oral communications are not acceptable to this synopsis. A determination by the Virginia Contracting Activity not to compete this proposed procurement on a full and open competition basis, based upon responses to this synopsis is solely within the discretion of the Virginia Contracting Activity. Please indicate business size.(0256)
