70 -- DB2 DATABASE PROGRAMMING SERVICES SOL BATF 97-11 DUE 060497 POC Charles Logan, Contract Specialist, (202) 927-7717 70 -- BATF requires DB2 Database Administrator services. Our tax systems account for more than $14 billion in revenue each year. The systems reside on an IBM mainframe using DB2. The systems support bureauwide users who need regular access for compliance and investigative purposes. Typically, there are a minimum of 150 concurrent users at any given time. These systms are subsidiary ledgers for ATF's general ledger. Continual operation of the systems is critical to ATF's mission. Inability to support these systems could have adverse effects on the Bureau. To keep the systems fully operational and efficient, regular daily maintenance and monitoring must be accomplished by a technically qualified DB2 Administrator. Otherwise, data become fragmented and may be irrevocably damaged due to a lack of attention. Inability to timely process applications, returns and claims would result in loss of revenue and increased interest cost for the Bureau. The administrator will require a Bureau suitability screening.This is a 100% small business set-aside using SIC code 7379. Interested small businesses should request a copy of solicitation number BATF 97-11 in writing. Telephone requests for a copy of the solicitation will not be honored.Written requests should be submitted to the address in block 7 of this synopsis or faxed to me on (202) 927-8688.
