70 -- PREPACKAGE SOFTWARE SOL SP4700-00-Q-0294 DUE 082100 POC Brenda M. Geist, Contract Specialist, (703) 767-1179 This is a sole source solicitation for commercial items. The standard industrial classification code is 7372, Prepackaged Software, $18 million. This serves as notice of intent to negotiate with ObjectWare Incorporated, San Francisco, CA on a sole source basis in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services will Satisfy Agency Requirements. The offeror shall provide Productivity Package (8 User) plus annual maintenance for one year. The Defense Logistics Agency Systems Integration Office has responsibility for the development, maintenance, and deployment of the Environmental Reporting Logistics System and portions of the Hazardous Materials Information System. Visual Compare and Repository Publisher are proprietary Commercial-Off-The-Shelf software packages developed, maintained, and marketed solely by ObjectWare Incorporated. The software development life cycle phases of analysis, design, coding, testing, packaging and deploymentare accomplished with the Sterling Computer-Aided Software Engineering tool COOL:Gen. Encyclopedia-based COOL:Gen allows teams to share and reuse data and design objects of any application models previously developed. Once a model has been populated with data and design objects, a second model for another project can be created with selective copying/migration of objects from the first model. A development model can seed a secondary model to be used as a test bed. When the additions and corrections are proved out on the test bed model, the objects can be migrated to a production model. Objects can take the form of procedures, window interface, entities, and attributes. This saving in time and effort can be in the form of a subsequent use of processes, physical data structures, and windows with a uniform look and feel. To support development, including version control and model integrity, for the two systems, a third-party vendor tool is needed to enhance the functionality of COOL:Gen. We use COOL:Gen from Computer Associates as our development environment and need a tool set to address two requirements, 1) system documentation and 2) change control. System Documentation -- The tool set must be able to access COOL:Gen encyclopedias directly and product documentation of our models in a word processing document. The system documentation must include both text and diagrams as it's output. The users must be able to control and change the document lay-out as well as the content of the documents. Change Control -- The tool set must also be able to compare two versions of a model and show the changes between the models in detail. For example we need the capability to compare two versions of an Action Diagram and see the changes line by line. For information regarding this solicitation, please contact Ms. Brenda Geist, Contract Specialist, Facsimile (703) 767-1130 by 2:00 PM local time, 21 August 2000. Posted 08/08/00 (W-SN483715).
