The U.S. Department of Energy, Federal Energy Technology Center, announces that, pursuant to 41 U.S.C. 253 (c)(1), FAR 6.302.1, Only One Responsible Source, it intends to award on a sole source basis a Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) type contract for the update, maintenance and support of the Training Ammunition Management Information System (TAMIS) for Headquarters, Department of the Army, (HQDA), Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations and Plans (ODCSOPS), Department of the Army Military Operations-Training Operations. The award is planned to Automated Information Management Inc (AIM INC). AIM INC is a small, disadvantaged, woman-owned business located in Lanham, MD. Due to the state of the software and the knowledge required to maintain TAMIS, only AIM INC, the incumbent, can provide the necessary support. Estimated award date of this contract is April 1998. The estimated amount of this contract is $7,000,000. The total anticipated level of effort is five years (three-year base period and twotwelve-month options). The contract's prime goal will be to replace the current TAMIS system used by the ODCSOPS with a new, updated, state-of-the art TAMIS system providing all of the benefits inherent in the present system, solutions to existing problems with this system, and adding features found to be desirable during the use of the present system. The new TAMIS client software will require at a minimum a 486-based computer running Windows 95 or NT 4.0. The TAMIS server will operate under Windows NT 4.0 using Microsoft SQL server and IIS server. The new TAMIS will remain unclassified non-sensitive. Alternatives for the new system allow for password protection and data encryption, and all involve transmitting data over publicly accessible phone lines or Internet connections. TAMIS will be contract supported for database and systems administration, as well as software maintenance and user training and operational support, including provision for a help desk support that will be augmented by the current TAMIS Customer Assistance Office (CAO). Solicitation DE-PN26-98FT40067 is expected to be released on or about Jan 5, 1998 to AIM INC with the expected closing date for submission of its proposal on Feb 4, 1998. All inquiries should be directed to the Point-of-Contact, Mary Beth J. Pearse, at the address/fax above or via internet e-mail to "pearse@fetc.doe.gov"(no phone calls please). (0352)
