A -- GI PRODUCTION SUPPORT POC Contact Charlean Thompson, 301-227-2158 The existing National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA) GI Production Support System requires modification to support three near-term challenges: year 2000 compliance, Enhanced Imagery system (EIS) storage management and exploitation, and to provide adequate communications capability. Services are required to ensure that NIMA maintains access to existing data in systems that will become obsolete with the year 2000. Various system changes and data migration performed under the GI production support will be accomplished using the Information Access Services contract with Harris Corporation on a sole source basis. The period of performance for this effort is a minimum of 18 months (12 months if NIMA is to meet the OMB recently announced test deadline of March 1999). This schedule is aggressive and the harm of non-performance is significant which precludes time for competition. Harris will expand the existing USIGS Logical Data Model to hold the data and datasets migrated from Production Management/Segment(PM/S), which will be stored on the Management Data Library (MDL), the Information Library Server (ILS), and other systems. The contractor will accelerate efforts currently under contract for the expansion of the USIGS Logical Data Model and common client to include data from HYSAS, ADDS, the expanded DPDB, FFD and other production data. In conjunction with the expansion of the data model and common client, Harris will develop the MDL physical data model and common client interfaces prior to porting the PM/S data to the MDL.
