The meeting began with the administrative items as follows:

• The previous minutes were reviewed and approved.
• The updated IAC membership list was reviewed and updated.

The meeting then moved on to discuss the council business as follows:

1. Dr. Leamon Lee updated the council on the SBA 8(a) status stating that the SBA had sent documents to his office to add two provisions to the contracts. The first was the 51% work rule for the 8(a) contractor and the second was required SBA contract boilerplate wording to be placed in all required contracts. Additional discussions continued to also include that no 8(a) set aside would be considered and that there were still efforts underway to get 8(a) credits to be passed through the prime, however, this would not be likely.

2. The council inquired if the past IAC minutes and IAC membership rosters were posted on the NITAAC web site. Mr. Tim Warrington joined the IAC meeting and gave an update that all IAC information had been put up on the web site.

3. A contractor teaming arrangement discussion got underway to see how contractors could move between primes for task orders. Contract language is being considered to allow on a task order by task order basis when approved by the NITAAC COs and primes.

4. The NITAAC End of Year Accomplishments and Award Ceremony (NEYAAC) planning committee passed out their November 11^th, 2002 meeting minutes. Ms. Diane McLaughlin led the status update and a spirited rounds of discussions began on how to run this upcoming event. Several ceremony details still need to be worked out but much work was accomplished during the NEYAAC‘s earlier planning sessions. Lessons learned from the first NITAAC ceremony were reviewed and recommendations were made. The date of the NEYAAC has still to be negotiated with consideration for room availability, other events/meetings, calendar, scheduling of speakers, and awardees. Suggestions for guest speakers should be forwarded to Ms. McLaughlin.

5. A review and update of the current prime contractor POC list was requested. A follow-up IAC committee Email responsibility call list would then be reviewed and updated.

6. The NITAAC Online Ordering System (NOOS) status was reviewed. A reassessment of vendor software is underway and should be accomplished by the first or second week of January 2002. The implementation of the system should be accomplished within 120 days after the vendor has approved.

7. The next NITAAC IAC Council Meeting will be held January 17^th, 2002 at 11:30 a.m. in Dr. Leamon Lee’s briefing room.
