Title: Transfer of Air Force technical procurement bid set data to small businesses, using CALS and EDI. Summary report. Revision 1

Abstract

This report provides a summary of the Air Force CALS Test Network (AFCTN) Test Report Transfer of Air Force Technical Procurement Bid Set Data to Small Businesses, Using CALS and EDI (AFCTN Test Report 94-034, UCRL-ID-118619). It represents a synthesis of the results, conclusions, and recommendations, as well as a more concise presentation of the issues and strategies as viewed from AFCTN`s perspective. This report documents a test transfer of three Air Force technical procurement bid sets to one large and twelve small businesses, using the Department of Defense (DoD) Continuous Acquisition and Life-cycle Support (CALS) and ANSI ASC X12 Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) standards. The main goal of the test was to evaluate the effectiveness of using CALS technical data within the context of the DoD`s EDI-based standard approach to electronic commerce in procurement, with particular emphasis on receipt and use of the data by small contractors. Air Force procurement data was provided by the Sacramento Air Logistics Center at McClellan Air Force Base; the manufacturing participants were selected from among McClellan`s {open_quote}Blue Ribbon{close_quote} contractors, located throughout the United States. The test was sponsored by the Air Force CALS Test Network, headquartered at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. The testmore » successfully demonstrated the technical feasibility of including CALS MIL-R-28002 (Raster) engineering data in an EDI Specification/Technical Information transaction set (ANSI ASC X12 841) when issuing electronic requests for quotation to small businesses. In many cases, the data was complete enough for the contractor participant to feel comfortable generating a quote.« less

  • This report documents a test transfer of three Air Force technical procurement bid sets to one large and twelve small businesses, using the Department of Defense (DoD) Continuous Acquisition and Life-cycle Support (CALS) and ANSI ASC X12 Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) standards. The main goal of the test was to evaluate the effectiveness of using CALS technical data within the context of the DoD`s EDI-based standard approach to electronic commerce in procurement, with particular emphasis on receipt and use of the data by small contractors. Air Force procurement data was provided by the Sacramento Air Logistics Center at McClellan Airmore » Force Base; the manufacturing participants were selected from among McClellan`s ``Blue Ribbon`` contractors, located throughout the US. The test was sponsored by the Air Force CALS Test Network, headquartered at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. The test successfully demonstrated the technical feasibility of including CALS MIL-R-28002 (Raster) engineering data in an EDI Specification/Technical Information transaction set (ANSI ASC X12 841) when issuing electronic requests for quotation to small businesses. In many cases, the data was complete enough for the contractor participant to feel comfortable generating a quote. Lessons learned from the test are being fed back to the CALS and EDI standards organizations, and to future implementors of CALS-EDI based acquisition or contracting systems, which require the transfer of technical information, such as engineering data, manufacturing process data, quality test data, and other product or process data, in the form of a CALS or other digital datafile.« less

  • This report details the results from a test conducted between the CALS Test Network Office Testbed, the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory EC/EDI (Electronic Commerce Through Electronic Data Interchange) Project, and the Sacramento Air Logistics Center (SM-ALC), McClellan AFB, CA. The test required CALS data (MIL-R-28002A Raster) to be sent in an EDI (Electronic Data interchange) envelope over a commercial VAN (Value Added Network). CALS Test Network Sacramento Air Logistics Center CALS/EDI Data Transfer Test Number 2 Quick Short Test Report.

  • CH2M HILL performed this work under a contract with McClellan Air Force Base for various environmental consulting services. The task order for which this report was prepared required sampling and analysis of soil gas extracted from vent risers through a low permeability cover over hazardous waste sites in Area D and from soil gas migration wells around the perimeter of the cover. The objectives of sampling and analyses were to provide data for comparison of the various sampling media used, determine the concentrations of target analytes in subsurface gases, evaluate the change in subsurface gas concentrations over time during vapormore » extraction, evaluate recovery of gas concentrations during non-extraction periods, evaluate sampling and analytical methods for future use in determining the nature and extent of contamination at the site, and recommended routine sampling and analytical protocols for soil gas monitoring at McClellan. This report is organized into a data interpretation volume (Volume I), and a second volume (Volume II) containing data both condensed and as received, and quality control reports.« less

  • Concentrations of purgeable halocarbon and aromatic compounds detected in samples collected from 40 monitoring wells and Six Area D extraction wells exceeded state and federal drinking-water standards. These 32 monitoring wells are located on base in Areas A, B, C, D, and Adjacent On-Base Areas, and off-base in the Northwest and Southwest Areas. There was no definable increase from the previous sampling period (1 April through 30 June, 1988). The Area D extraction system is effectively operating to change hydraulic gradients based on differences in hydraulic heads specified for the system. Contaminant concentrations continue to decrease in deep-zone monitoring wells.more » Samples from several middle-zone monitoring wells show and decreasing trend except for this sampling period when concentrations increased. Decreasing contaminant concentrations have recently stabilized in shallow-zone monitoring wells located outside the extraction system well-field.« less
