D -- RFI FOR RECORDS MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE APPLICATIONS The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is seeking information on the availability of software applications to support the requirements of Records Management. The requirements are based on the DOD standard DOD 5015.2-STD, Design Criteria Standard For Electronic Records Management Software Applications. This DOD standard is available at URL http://web7.whs.osd.mil/htmlc/50152std.htm. In the standard, the word "shall" identifies mandatory requirements and the word "should" identifies optional requirements. In addition to the mandatory requirements in the DOD standard, NASA requires the following: 1) a multi-platform distributed system, able to support PC, Macintosh, and optionally UNIX client workstations; 2) an automated load process for clients; 3) average electronic record filing time of 15 to 25 seconds per record; 4) user friendliness with intuitive prompts and processes; 5) ability to interface with NASA's standard E-Mail applications (Eudora Pro and MS Exchange); and 6) the capability to store and link different versions of the same records in the repository affording end users the ability to distinguish between versions of the same record. DOD certification is not required of the product, but would be a plus. If you have product(s) that will meet the requirements as stated, and wish to have the product(s) considered, please submit a contact name, a functional and technical description of your product, a conceptual document for meeting NASA's requirements, and any other pertinent information. In addition NASA would like a list of any Electronic Document Management Systems and/or Data Base Management Systems that your product interfaces with. NASA will review all submissions and determine a course of action based on the number and quality of submissions received. Responses to this request for information are due by March 4, 1999 to the POC person listed. No solicitation exists; therefore, do not request a copy of the solicitation. If a solicitation is released it will be synopsized in the CBD and on the NASA Acquisition Internet Service. It is the potential offerors' responsibility to monitor these cites for the release of any solicitation or synopsis. This synopsis is for information and planning purposes and is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government nor will the Government pay for information solicited. Respondents will not be notified of the results of the evaluation. Respondents deemed fully qualified will be considered in any resultant solicitation for the requirement. If you have any questions or need any other information, please contact the POC listed.
