display (on paper or labels) of information. The TRAMS shall have the
capability of separately determining dimensions, weights and centers of
balance of towing and towed vehicles based on their separate
identifications in reference files. The TRAMS shall include the
cpability to electronically transmit and receive information in a
format compatible with DOD transportation databases. The contractor
shall utilize commercial, off-the-shelf components to the greatest
extend possible. The contractor shall utilize non-proprietary hardware
interfaces and software protocols to the greatest extend possible. The
