D -- PHASE II OF THE PLANT CLEARANCE AUTOMATED REUTILIZATION SCREENING SYSTEM (PCARSS) DUE 102198 POC Ms. Carol R. Leon (Contracting Officer)/(703) 767-1167 This announcement constitutes advance notice to enable potential sources the opportunity to submit information regarding their capabilities to meet requirements identified herein. The Defense Contract Management Command (DCMC)is conducting a market survey and analysis to assess capabilities that exist for development of Phase II of the Plant Clearance of PCARSS after installation. The purpose of the PCARSS is to automate the Plant Clearance process for disposing of excess Government property in the possession of Government contractors, and to provide maximum visibility of the property, thereby increasing reutilization of valuable assets. Plant Clearance business processes are accomplished in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 45.6. PCARSS is being developed in two phases. Phase I automates line items, cases, sales, transfers, final dispositions, requisitions, and transfer of excess inventory data with Defense Information Services Agency (DISA), General Services Administration (GSA), and the Material Returns Program (MRP). Phase I successfully completed the Operational Test (OT)on August 10, 1998, and is currently undergoing a 90 day Initial Operational Capability (IOC) warranty period. Full Operational Capability (FOC)is scheduled for November, 1998. Phase II requirements are enhancements to Phase I. Phase II will add referrals, electronic requisitioning with DISA, GSA, and MRP, functionality from the DCMC Automated Disposition System (DADS), and automatic notification to alert property owners that their items have entered the screening process. The current system consists of a Plant Clearance Officer (PLCO) Application, World Wide Web (WWW) interfaces for contractors and screeners, and a Flat File Transfer (FFT)interface for exchange of data between Plant Clearance Officers and large contractors. The work to be performed includes requirements development, system design, development, installation, maintenance, and management. As a minimum, prospective companies are required to be Capability Maturity Model (CMM) Level II certified, or have a plan in place to achieve CMM Level II Certification before project initiation. All program management shall be conducted at Ft. Belvoir, Virginia. Contractor staffing requires personnel with expertise in program/project management, system analysis, database development, system design, computer networks, information technology, communications, File Transfer Protocol (FTP), and WWW technology. Interested and qualified sources may submit a response with documentation supporting their capability to both develop and maintain the Phase II portion of PCARSS outlined herein to the Contracting Officer, Carol R. Leon, at the address listed above NLT October 21, 1998. The Government anticipates a future competitive source selection for this effort.
