These functions encompass the end to end process for obtaining goods and services for all Department locations around the world. This effort positions the Department to modernize and integrate the information technology systems that support logistics management and facilitates the replacement of legacy systems. Logistics management is broadly defined to incorporate the set of business processes for requisitioning, acquisition, transportation, warehousing, asset management, supply management, and associated policy. These functions serve over 20,000 customers located in some 260 locations around the world. Each of these locations has different ways of doing business and somewhat different requirements. The logistic management systems will need to be flexible and accommodate the needs of these organizations in addition to domestic Department needs. Logistics functions historically have been widely distributed throughout the Department of State. In 1996, the Department of State launched a project to reengineer its worldwide logistics business process. This is a continuing effort that will dramatically change the way the Department of State does business. To successfully implement and sustain a comprehensive logistics process for getting goods and services to domestic bureaus and overseas posts, logistics offices are being consolidated into one organization. This will eliminate redundant operations, produce savings through economies of scale and get goods and services to the customers faster. The global integrated logistics management systems will provide the information technology architecture necessary to support these functions. The Office of Logistics Management, through its contractor, STG, Inc., is seeking information regarding technical architectures, information management technologies and COTS products, which could prove suitable for designing and deploying a world wide logistics system. We would like toreceive information concerning services to develop, integrate, and/or install a logistics system, integrated COTS package, COTS logistic system components and technology for integrating separate components. Interested firms must provide information demonstrating their capability to deliver state of the art logistics support systems or components thereof. Specific areas covered may include, but not be limited to decision support, workflow management, web-based media, the use of electronic commerce, turnkey logistics systems, electronic catalogs, and commercial and non-developmental products. Interested firms may view background information on-line at http://www.stginc.com/lm. This service chronicles the activities that have been completed to date, and describes the integrated data environment in which the logistics systems must operate. All capabilities and concept papers will be treated as proprietary information, if appropriately marked. Pricing information is solicited where available. Papers can be submitted to STG, Inc. by e-mail to ilmsproject@stginc.com or via mail to STG, Inc., Attn: ILMS Project, 3702 Pender Drive, Suite 250, Fairfax, VA 22030. Submissions should be received by 30 January 1998. (0006)
