COMMERCE BUSINESS DAILY ISSUE OF JULY 20,1998 PSA#2140Directorate Of Contracting, Building 1001, 761st Tank Battalion Ave,
Fort Hood Tx 76544-5059 R -- NOTICE TO PROSPECTIVE OFFERORS OF FORT HOOD, FORT CARSON AND FORT
RILEY POC Gordon Sumner, 254-287-5762; e-mail address
sumnerg@hood-emh3,army,mil E-MAIL: sumnerg@hood-emh3.army.mil,
sumnerg@hood-emh3.army.mil. IMPORTANT NOTICE TO PROSPECTIVE OFFERORS OF
FORT HOOD, FORT CARSON, AND FORT RILEY Offerors are hereby notified
that all Requests for Proposals (RFPs), Invitations For Bid (IFBs), and
Requests for Quotations (RFQs) will be issued electronically
tentatively effective 15 August 1998. Offerors must have the capability
for viewing, printing or downloading, and submitting responses by way
of the Internet by 1 January 1999. In order to respond electronically,
an accurate e-mail address and registration in the Central Contractors
Registry (CCR) is mandatory. In August 1997, the III Corps Directorate
of Contracting at Fort Hood, TX, entered into a formal partnership
with the Electronic Commerce Resource Center (ECRC) in Palestine, TX,
to design, build, and put into production a Web service for the three
Directorates of Contracting (DOC) that make up the regionalized III
Corps Center: Forts Hood, Carson, and Riley. This Web service includes
two complete Web servers (a primary and a mirroring system), firewall
protection, and all the necessary peripherals and software to support
electronic commerce regardless of dollar size of the procurement.
Tentatively scheduled to be 100 percent operational by 15 August 1998,
the site will include Paperless Electronic RFPs, IFBs, RFQs, contract
awards, and award information issued by the DOC. This paperless
electronic system will not only allow potential contractors to do
research and obtain solicitations and RFQs, it will also receive the
contractor's proposal, load that proposal into the DOC's automated
procurement system, and electronically award the requirement. This
approach is unique within DOD and puts DOC well along the road to the
truly paperless contracting system Secretary Cohen has mandated to be
in place by January 2000. A Final notification will be published in the
Commerce Business Daily one week prior to the date for all requirements
to be issued and received electronically. Hot Links to other electronic
government sites to assist prospective offerors (i.e., FAR and its
supplements, research, Commerce Business Daily research, Acquisition
Reform Net, Central Contractor Registry, etc.). The III Corps DOC Web
site can currently be visited either through the Fort Hood Web site or
directly at http://www.commerce97.com. Guest comments concerning the
web site and/or recommendations regarding improvements to the
solicitation viewing and submission areas of the web site are welcome.
