D -- EDITOR BUILDER SOFTWARE PRODUCT IN SUPPORT OF KENNEDY SPACE CENTER DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES SOL M671 DUE 063097 POC F.D. Pell, Subcontracts, phone (281) 335-5075 or via FAX (281) 335-5070. Lockheed Martin Space Mission Systems and Services is determining the availability of a commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) software editor/builder product that will allow non-programmers to develop mathematical and logical equations that create C or C++ source code for a UNIX (SGI/IRIX) platform. This tool should produce real-time, executable code. An available, companion, manager tool would also be used for either activating/inhibiting processing or changing coefficients of any selected equation(s) created by the editor/builder. If procured, the programs would be used for Space Shuttle processing at the Kennedy Space Center. The editor/builder would be used in a development with UNIX workstations connected to a server. Any source code produced would be promoted through a software build process, compiled, and tested prior to delivery to the operational environment. The executable software and the Manager tool would operate in the real-time, Shuttle, operational processing and launch control environments, which are distributed, UNIX-based environments. The builder/editor software shall meet these minimum requirements: (1) provide an interface to retrieve input parameter data from a flat file; (2) support various data types, including enumerated data types; (3) provide standard editing features such as cut, copy, paste, etc.; (4) provide arithmetic, trigonometric, relational, logic, bit manipulation, and statistics (minimum, maximum, etc.) operators; and (5) generate C or C++ code that can run in a real-time environment. The manager software shall meet these minimum requirements: (1) provide an interface to activate (start) and inhibit (stop) processing of any selected equations (developed using the builder/editor tool); (2) provide an interface to change coefficients in an equation; (3) execute equations when any input value changes; (4) provide an interface allowing incorporation of equation results into a KSC-defined data message format; (5) provide user control of equation execution on a cyclic basis; and (6) provide the ability to determine data validity testing. Beta test versions and software that has not been widely distributed should not be included. Offerors should respond with COTS standard product information, including basic technical descriptions/specifications, with sufficient detail to indicate the software satisfies each of the above requirements, and standard pricing. Pricing should include information on break points for multiple licenses and site licenses. (0156)
