70 -- maintenance & software support

The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD), Air Vehicle Modification Instrumentation Division has a requirement for a maintenance software support contract for their OTIS software. The maintenance on the software is necessary to keep it functioning efficiently to meet schedule product delivery dates and minimize the downtime of the Fleet aircraft. In order to remain compatible in form, fit and function with the current existing equipment, the Government intends to negotiate with Spiral Technology, 244 East Avenue, K-4, Lancaster, CA on an other than full and open competitive basis. Spiral Technology is the only known source that can meet the specification of the Government. They are the original developers of the software and have proprietary rights to the software.
