COMPUTER REQUIREMENTS FOR EPEDITING RDP ACTIONS AND CONTRACT DOCUMENTATION

A PERMANENT NEED EXISTS FOR AN AUTOMATED PROGRAM MANAGEMENT SYSTEM WHICH OVERSEES CERTAIN ASPECT OF THE PROCUREMENT PROCESS. AN AUTOMATED PROCUREMENT ACQUISITION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM WOULD PROVIDE THE MEANS TO TRACK THE COMPLETE LIFE CYCLE OF THE SYSTEM ACQUISITION, FROM THE PROCUREMENT REQUEST THROUGH THE CHANGES WHICH OCCUR DURING CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATION. THIS PHASE I EFFORT PROPOSES DEVELOPING A RELATIONAL DATA BASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM THAT WOULD OPERATE IN A WINDOWS ENVIROMENT PROVIDING FOR A USER FRIENDLY, "MOUSE" ACTIVATED, PULL-DOWN MENU SYSTEM TO FACILITATE RFP GENERATION AND CONTRACT MONITORING. A "WINDOWS" ENVIRONMENT WILL ALLOW, THROUGH DYNAMIC DATA EXCHANGE, CONCOMITANT WORDPROCESSING, RELATIONAL DATA BASE MANIPULATION AND "WHAT-IF" ANALYSIS DURING RFP GENERATION AND CONTRACT MONITORING.
