NITAAC IAC Minutes for October, 2001 (Catch-up version)

NITAAC/CECOM partnership:

• Update on CECOM partnership. NITAAC now has an agreement with CECOM to partner with them. A copy of the agreement is posted to the NITAAC website and can be found under the Authority link.

• CECOM is providing a link to the NITAAC website from their website. Currently it is hard to find the link, so NITAAC will be working with CECOM to modify their website so that it will be easier for customers to find the link to NITAAC website.

NITAAC website:

• NITAAC has now posted all awards on the website in lieu of awards notification e-mails to all the primes.

8(a) SBA credit on NITAAC contracts:

• NITAAC has received a verbal agreement from SBA re: allowing 8(a) credit on CIO-SP2 i, IW2 nd, ECS-II contracts. Currently NITAAC is still waiting for the actual letter.

NITAAC MIPR:

• NITAAC can now receive customer funds. If the customers have legitimate requirements, they can forward the funding to NITAAC to be placed against a SOW.

NITAAC On-line ordering

· NITAAC is still evaluating the application. May have to look at COTS if the current version doesn’t work out.

ESC-III

• NITAAC will be soliciting vendors’ suggestions and comments via their website similarly to what they did on CIO-SP2 i and IW2 nd. NITAAC is still considering their procurement strategy and as so the RFI has not yet gone out.

Marketing @ NIH after 9/11

• NIH has restricted entrance into the facility since the 9/11 event. NITAAC’s recommendation for a smoother access into the NIH campus is for the vendors to make use of the metro. NITAAC also asked that the vendors be patient, and to plan accordingly.
• NITAAC is also looking for suggestions on Homeland Security Technology that can be presented at one of the NIH Technology Day.
