PROCUREMENT DIVISION
PERSONAL COMPUTER SOFTWARE CENTER OPENS WITH OL SUPPORT
The Office of Information Technology's (OIT's) goal of a
Personal Computer Software Center (PCSC) was realized this last
week, through the close support of several components of the Office
of Logistics.
Procurement Division, working in close coordination with OIT
personnel, issued a competitive solicitation, evaluated submitted
proposals, and selected two highly qualified vendors, all within a
90 day period. This resulted in the award of two contracts for
computer software to stock the PCSC, which officially opened on 3
November 1986. The procurement methodology employed allows PCSC
store personnel to telephonically place orders for a variety of
preselected PC software packages for immediate two day delivery. In
addition, 22 packages will be available for purchase directly from
the store inventory, including such popular packages such as Lotus
1-2-3, dBASEIII plus, Projectmaster and WATCHDOG. The Agency's user
demand for intelligent workstations and personal computers has
necessitated this streamlined purchasing capability for
off-the-shelf software products. Through the combined efforts of
the Procurement Divison, the Supply Management Branch of Supply
Division, and OIT, a system was developed to accomplish this
objective.
OIT has provided all materiel for the operation of the software
center, and the space was modified with the assistance of Facilities
Management Division. The store, which is located in 2C11
Headquarters, will have a Center Manager, computer terminals, four
OIT consultants to assist customers with the selection of software,
and two OL Supply Division employees to handle the storage, issue
and reorder of materials.
The initial software inventory totalling $360,000 is immediately
available for issuance to offices submitting completed and approved
requisitions. The stock will then be replenished as inventory is
drawn down. The PCSC Software Price List and a brochure describing
the Center's products and services are attached to provide more
detailed information about the center.
