Description

POINT OF SALE SUSTAINMENT/TECHNOLOGY REFRESH PROGRAM, SOL N/A. This is not a Request for Proposal (RFP) and no award will be made as a result of this Request for Information (RFI); the results of this RFI may or may not result in a future RFP -- FAR 52.215-3 applies. In 1998, the Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA) completed the installation of a commercial Point-of-Sale (POS) system in 288 military supermarkets worldwide. DeCA is seeking to assess the existing system and sustain the current capability over the next 6-8 years, using proven supermarket technology. The current contract, awarded in February 1996, consists of a 4-year base period with 4 one-year options. The Agency intends to phase in any technology refresh before the final contract option year is completed in 2004. Plans are to leverage in-house technology by focusing on enhancements that reduce operating costs and improve the value of the commissary benefit.
