D -- MODIFICATION OF PROTOTYPE INTERACTIVE COMPUTER BASED TRAINING PROGRAM FOR CTX5000 OPERATORS SOL DTFA03-97-R-00012 DUE 021397 POC Jose Benitez, Contracting Specialist, ACT-51B, 609-485-6127. The Aviation Security Human Factors Program Office of the FAA William J. Hughes Technical Center's Aviation Security Research and Development Division has requirement for its prototype computer based interactive (CBT) program for the CTX-5000 explosives detection system to be rendered suitable for stand-alone operator training. Work includes the reprogramming of the CTX-5000 CBT Operator Certification Test and Revision and Enhancement of the CTX-5000 Operator CBT Software Program (Beta Version). Since the CBT was developed by Safe Passage International, a developer of conventional X-Ray CBT programs, it is the FAA's intention to procure these services from this company on a sole source basis to avoid the extensive an unacceptable delays, and possible technical incompatibility, that would result from selecting a different CBT developer to make the required revisions.
