1981 ODP Costs to Support the Voluntary Investment Plan (VIP)
ODP has been given additional time to determine the cost to
support VIP in 1981. This will allow time to accurately reflect
the impact of the 1981 computer service rates. The necessary
data should be available by the end of November to determine the
1981 costs. The VIP is our only paying customer and we want to
be as accurate as we can in calculating our cost. One of the
members of the audit team has asked for detailed information on
the methodology we use to establish the VIP cost for 1981. (U)
Release of ODP RFP
The Director of Data Processing concurred on RFP-2-81A, for
a replacement VM Computer System. The RFP is a financial
competition for an IBM 3033 MP (multiprocessor). The 3033 MP is
the only acceptable system on the marketplace that provides the
required CPU power and preserves the VM single-image (i.e. single
system) environment. The RFP was forwarded to Procurement
Division, OL for expedited action.
External Procurement
The Director of Data Processing concurred on an external
procurement action for OL/P&PD to purchase a DICOMED Gr L
Computer Output Microfilm (CON') Recorder. (U)
Excess Equipment
Management Staff distributed, to selected ADP Control

Digital Equipment Corporation equipment excess to ODP needs. No
interest in the ADP equipment was generated and the ODP equipment
was declared as excess to the Agency. The acquisition cost of
the excess equipment was estimated as $11,425. (U)

voltage problem in the Ruffing Center. Past CEMB and HEB/OL
actions have narrowed the problem to a panel now shared by the
Amdahl 470V/6 and 470V/8. By moving the IBM 3033 off the panel,
no impact to normal operations has been observed, and the problem
is now manageable. When material arrives, an outage will be

past week. Several hardware problems did impact operations.
These include the Channel 5 problem of the IBM 168-1 which was
corrected and the Amdahl V6 channel-to-channel problem which has
also been corrected. The CMD disk bank had a power cable burn
up. It has been repaired. The TADS system has a probable graphic
interface controller (GIC) problem which is still under investiga-
tion. Several CalComp disk problems impacted TADS availability,
and a system software problem is under investigation by SPD. _
