70 -- WEB TOOLS SOL MDA260-00-ISORFI DUE 042800 POC Julie Harbert, Contract Specialist 317-510-4701 E-MAIL: Contract Specialist, julie.harbert@dfas.mil. The Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) has a requirement for a tool or suite of tools that will provide what DFAS has defined as self-serve web applications. Self-serve Web applications are generally defined as more complex than static HTML Web pages, but less complexity than mission critical Web-based applications. Background: DFAS has a wide variety of Web based applications. DFAS has chosen to classify these applications into three groups: Mission Critical Web, Static Web and Self-Service Web. Mission Critical Web based applications are pages that may include significant backend processing and many variables with dependencies characterize this category of web application. These web applications may also include master to detail representations. DFAS has chosen to develop this type of application using a CASE tool methodology. Static Web applications are pages whose content does not change characterize this category of web application. The content for the majority of these sites is fixed.Typically does not include the use of forms or the processing of any input from the web user. Self-Service Web applications are pages that may include limited backend processing, basic forms, and limited interactions with the web user characterize this category of web application. These web applications would not be used as input to any mission critical application. DFAS is requiring a tool or tool suite that will satisfy the last category, self-service web based applications. Please review the list of requirements provided (attachment 1). A working group comprised of members from both the developer and functional DFAS communities developed these requirements. The requested information is for planning purposes and does not constitute a commitment, implied or otherwise, that a procurement action will be issued. No entitlement to payment of direct or indirect costs or charges by the Government will arise as a result of the submission of contractor's information. The Government shall not be liable for or suffer any consequential damages for any proprietary information not properly identified.

If there is a GSA or other contract vehicle already available for the technology being proposed, please include this information in the response. Firms who wish to receive the attachment describing the requirements for the web based application development tool requirements, please your request in writing via e-mail julie.harbert@dfas.mil, or fax request to Julie Harbert's attention at 317-510-4698. DFAS, as with all DOD, prefers an existing web tool rather than the development of such, however all information is desired.
