SOL DACA39-97-R-0026 DUE 041697 POC Jack Little 601-634-3175 E-MAIL: Click here to contact Jack Little via e-mail, littlej@ex1.wes.army.mil. The DOD Defense Environmental Security Corporate Information Management (DESCIM) Program requires programmatic support to document and maintain current data collection and reporting requirements; develop, document, and maintain information system functional requirements in support of documented data collection and reporting requirements; test software applications to ensure software design conforms to functional requirements; demonstrate software to, and train, end users; and review and comment regarding System Change Requests (SCR=s) affecting system functionality. This project requires a contractor with in-depth, extensive, and intensive experience and knowledge in functional analysis of business processes relating to DESCIM specific data collection, analysis, and reporting of environmental issues; particularly in the areas of environmental cleanup, compliance deficiencies, and toxic substances. The interdependent schedule of the DESCIM project with other high profile environmental security projectsrequires that the selected contractor be available and capable to begin work with little or no Alearning curve@ delay. Additionally, the high profile nature of the work requires that the contractor have intimate familiarity with the functional and corporate knowledge in key environmental security areas that currently form the basis for information collection, analysis, and reporting systems under development for DESCIM. The only known source capable of performing this work is Scientific Systems and Solutions, Inc. (S3), Alexandria, VA., and award will be made under authority of 10 USC 2304 (c)(1)._ There are no other known available sources that currently have the specific knowledge, expertise, and direct experience with the information systems and processes of the DESCIM program. Ms. Brinda Stephens, president of S3, has unique experience in the DESCIM program stemming from her three year tenure as the functional analyst in the program for three environmental security disciplines; cleanup, compliance deficiencies, and toxic substances. Ms. Stephens was the only functional analyst who worked in all three of these key areas and thus gained unduplicated functional and corporate knowledge. As functional proponent for several migration software development efforts including the Compliance Deficiency Management Module (CDMM), the Environmental Program Management System (EPRS), and the Defense Site Environmental Restoration Tracking System (DSERTS), Ms. Stephens gained unique functional expertise in these multi-disciplined efforts which will enable her to begin work with virtually no time lost to familiarization with the ongoing effort. No other source has this unique combination of experience and expertise. Any inquiries must be received within fifteen (15) days from date of publication.
