SUBJECT : Revalidation of FY-79 and FY-80 CRT Terminal
Procurement Minimums in RFP 17-78A
REFERENCE: Memo for the Record, from Subject:
Analysis of the Soft Copy Terminal RFP (17-78A),
dated 30 June 1978
SUMMARY
At the request of the Office of Logistics, an analysis
was performed to revalidate, prior to contract award, the
minimum CRT terminal procurement quantities for FY-79 and
FY-80 in RFP 17-78A. The results of this analysis, which
considered revised funding and Gomptroller terminal quan-
tity constraints, indicate that in FY-79 the RFP advanced
terminal minimum may be increased by five. The estimate
for the DD 5600 Etaulation terminal for NPIC remains unchan-
ged. The original and revalidated minimums are:
FY-79 Minimum
Terminal Type Original
STAT Standard DD 5260
Emulation
Advanced
DD 5600 Emulation
Revalidated
In FY-80, ODP budget constraints and revised terminal
procurement constraints from the Comptroller, limit the
overall terminal minimums and especially curtail the
procurement of the more expensive Advanced terminal. The
FY-80 original and revalidated minimums are summarized
below:

It should be noted that the above minimums are quite
realistic and should be reachable. The major component of
these minimums are procurement for ODP terminals to be connec-
ted to the central systems. This component, with which we
have the greatest amount of control, has been estimated to
be within available funding and the terminal procurement
constraints from the Comptroller.
BACKGROUND
The Office of Logistics has requested ODP revalidate,
prior to contract award, the minimum CRT terminal quantities
for FY-79 and FY-80 in RFP 17-78A. The minimum quantities
from the RFP are summarized below (see attachment for the
table of minimum procurement quantities in RFP 17-78A).
Terminal Type
Standard DD 5260
Emulation
Advanced

FY-79
FY-80
These minimums were estimated prior to final guidance on
the FY-80 budget and the availability of specific information
on actual costs (see reference). The latest budget guidance
indicates that ODP faces two types of terminal procurement
constraints: budgetary and direct Comptroller constraints
on the number of ODP terminals procured for connection to
central systems (excluding CAMS). These constraints are
summarized below:

The remainder of this memo examines the impact of
these constraints on the CRT terminal minimum quantity
estimates for FY-79 and FY-80 and provides updated minimum
CRT terminal estimates.
FY-79 SUMMARY
FY-79 funds available for CRT terminal procurement
may be estimated as follows:
ODP FY-79 allotment for CRT terminals
Estimated reprogrammed funds4
One-time terminal development charge
Procurement of 6 development systems5
Available for CRT terminal procurement
in FY-79
The original FY-79 CRT minimum number of terminals
was Standard DD 5260 anulation terminals and Advanced.
This minimum may be recomputed as follows (see reference):6

Emulation Advanced
ODP terminals connected to
the central system
Misc. (connected to mini's or
standalone)7

FY-80 SUMMARY
FY-80 funds available for CRT terminal procurement
may be estimated as follows:

The original FY-80 CRT minimum number of terminals
STAT was Standard DD 5260 Emulation, Advanced terminals.12
Neither the available ODP funds, nor the Comptroller con-
STAT straint of terminals for connection to ODP central systems
support these minimums. A new minimum may be computed
as follows (modifying the reference, as appropriate):

The ODP terminals connected to the central system
are less than the applicable Comptroller constraint of
(i.e.,r-less hard copy terminals), and have a total
cost o a out Though (roughly) short of the
available ODP funds, it is assumed that the difference can
be reprogrammed.

CONCLUSION
The original (old) and the revalidated minimums (new)
are compared below:
Terminal Type
Standard DD 5260
Emulation
Advanced
DD 5600 Emulation
The revalidated (new) minimums in the table above
are believed to be realistic. The ODP component for connec-
tion to the central system is within Comptroller terminal
and ODP funding constraints. The customer-funded components
are also believed to be realistic minimums.
