A -- FIELD TESTING OF PILOT MEDICAL SURVEILLANCE INFORMATION SYSTEM SOFTWARE AND REVISION TO FINAL OPERATIONAL VERSION. SOL DE-RP01-97EH00001 POC Contract Specialist, Patrick A. Thornton, (202) 634-4564; Contracting Officer David Tyma, (202) 634-4574. The Department of Energy intends to award a sole-source contract to SSDS, Inc., of Vienna, VA, for the deployment of a pilot Medical Surveillance Information System (MSIS) software system, testing and final refinement. This phase requires MSIS deployment to up to four pilot sites with software revisions as indicated by pilot deployment experience and finalization of the MSIS. As the majority of the software consists of source code developed by and proprietary to SSDS, the proposed contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under authority of FAR 6.302. Interested parties may identify their capability to respond to the requirement and submit price proposals. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all proposals received within 45 days after publication of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. (0281)
