70 -- NETWORK MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE POC National Product Line Asset Center, Suitability Testing Representative, 1-800-495-3877. The West Virginia High Technology Consortium (WVHTC) Foundation is seeking fully developed commercial off-the-shelf Network Manager software to suitability test for USAF Electronic Systems Center (ESC) product lines. As part of an overall plan for acquisition reform, ESC is implementing a product line acquisition strategy that leverages extensive reuse of commercial off-the-shelf software components. This approach was described in CBD announcement PSA-1493, Section 58, December 19, 1995. ESC is ready to begin the suitability testing phase for the Network Manager component area of the Generic Command Center Architecture (GCCA) developed under the PRISM program. Software vendors are encouraged to submit fully functional evaluation copies of Network Manager software that run on Solaris 2.x for suitability testing against the Network Manager criteria, and for placement on the Command Center Product Line Product List (PLPL). To obtain a copy of the product submittal package or for more information, contact the NPLACE Network Manager Suitability Testing Representative at 1-800-495-3877 or through the world wide web at http://www.wvhtf.org/nplace. Interested sources should contact NPLACE within 30 days of the publication of this synopsis. All responsible concerns may submit suitable products for testing and all such submittals will be considered without prejudice. This synopsis does not commit the WVHTC Foundation or the Government to a procurement action. (0344)
