SPECIAL NOTICE TO AGENCIES:

Small Business Participation

SBA strongly supports the participation of small business concerns in the Federal Supply Schedules Program. To enhance Small Business Participation SBA policy allows agencies to include in their procurement base and goals, the dollar value of orders expected to be placed against the Federal Supply Schedules, and to report accomplishments against these goals.

For orders exceeding the micropurchase threshold, FAR 8.404 requires agencies to consider the catalogs/pricelists of at least three schedule contractors or consider reasonably available information by using the GSA Advantage! TM on-line shopping service (www.fss.gsa.gov). The catalogs/pricelists, GSA Advantage! TM and the Federal Supply Service Home Page (www.fss.gsa.gov) contain information on a broad array of products and services offered by small business concerns-

This information should be used as a tool to assist ordering activities in meeting or exceeding established small business goals. It should also be used as a tool to assist in including small, small disadvantaged, and women-owned small businesses among those considered when selecting pricelists for a best value determination

For orders exceeding the micropurchase threshold, customers are to give preference to small business concerns when two or more items at the same delivered price will satisfy their requirement.

SERVICES PROVIDED

CTA offers the following ADP Services under SIN 132-51. These are the services that CTA offers to our commercial and Government customers:

IT Systems Development Services (FPDS CODE D302)

IT Systems Analysis Services (FPDS CODE D306)

Programming Services (FPDS CODE D308)

IT Data Conversion Services (FPDS CODE D311)

IT Network Management Services (FPDS CODE D316)

Interactive Design and Development Engineering Services (FPDS CODE D399)

All of our General Purpose Commercial Automatic Data Processing Labor Categories, shown in the following section may be used to support each of the types of services above. Additional CTA services are presented in the following sections.

All CTA technical services are guided by our Systems Engineering Methodology (SEM), which embodies proven, repeatable processes, methodologies, techniques, and tools for the various functional disciplines within the information technology (IT) domain. Our SEM provides a comprehensive framework to manage and perform the full range of activities required to provide a full complement of ADP services. CTA aggressively pursues new technologies that can help our customers meet their missions more effectively in terms of ongoing operations and changing work environments. Thus, the SEM is continually refined and expanded as our technological capabilities evolve. For example, our adaptation of the Carnegie Mellon University Software Engineering Institute (SEI) Capability Maturity Model (CMM) as part of the SEM has enabled us to achieve SEI Level 2 certification. Since the SEM’s structured approach and standard processes can be tailored to support each Federal agency’s information technology environment and unique technology needs, we can provide high quality support services that will result in more efficient and cost-effective operations. Our standard system engineering processes, procedures and supporting methods and tools map into the appropriate industry and Government standards and guidelines such as the Federal Information Processing (FIP) Standards and GSA Automated Information Systems Management Handbook, IRM P 214B, and into the particular client environment to yield a tailored approach for our technical and management support activities.

IT SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT SERVICES (FPDS CODE D302)

The standard CTA database design document provides the complete database design, including the conceptual design (based on the data modeling started in the requirements definition phase), the logical design which maps the records and attributes to the selected DBMS conventions (where applicable) or input language, and the physical design which maps the logical design to the physical storage devices. The first activity is data identification, which is an extension of the data modeling effort begun in the requirement definition phase. During that phase, we identified top-level data classes and their relationships and represented them in an E-R diagram.

The next step defines data attributes. An attribute is defined as a single, named data element to which a value can be assigned. A group of attributes logically occurring together represents a data class. This activity takes the data classes identified in the E-R diagram and defines the associated attributes.

After evaluating the system, hardware, and software environment, and taking into account the likely transaction environment and operational considerations, we develop the logical database design. The logical design focuses on optimizing file structure and access strategy with respect to transaction type and number and on optimizing performance with respect to the selected DBMS.

The logical design incorporates the relationships into the database records and maps the conceptual elements to the elements of the selected DBMS.

The physical design considers factors such as blocking, allocation to physical devices, and indices and index compression. We apply these factors against the conceptual database design and the performed transactions. Stored record format design and clustering and access method design yield the key outputs from this activity.

To ensure efficiency of the database system, CTA models and evaluates the operational costs in detail:

• Query response time—includes CPU and I/O queue and service times, lockout delays, and communication delays (query response time modeled using the PATB tool).

• Update transaction elapsed time.

• Report generation elapsed time.

• Reorganization frequency elapsed time (growth projection considered in choosing loading factor access method).

• Main and secondary storage space.

The physical design provides efficient results with respect to the physical environment and user access requirements.

IT SYSTEMS ANALYSIS SERVICES (FPDS CODE D306)

The system size and complexity and the nature of the task requirements determine the scope of systems analysis and design activities. Modification of existing systems may require limited design activity and update of existing specifications. Significant enhancements could require redesigning portions of existing systems with correspondingly greater documentation update. New system developments require complete top-level design and new documentation development.

The systems analysis and design activities specify the top-level design by identifying the software components for the application, providing a logical grouping of functional requirements and establishing subsystem interfaces, inputs and outputs, data retention requirements, performance requirements, and operating environment. CTA applies the following methods and tools to systems analysis and design tasks:

• Structure Charts. The structure chart is a Yourdon based method for allocating functional requirements to physical software modules. This top-level software design defines the software architecture, and is the first attempt at functional to physical allocation.

• Object Diagrams. Object diagrams are similar in purpose to the more familiar structure chart. Many different representation conventions for conveying object information exists. All portray structural relationships among defined objects, highlight services or operations provided by the object, and detail those services implemented.

• N-Squared Functional Analysis. This technique characterizes the interfaces among internal system components and between the system and external systems. This technique, supported by CTA's proprietary N2C tool or an I-CASE matrix generator, supports interface definition and analysis.

• Strength and Coupling Analysis. This technique measures the cohesiveness of the requirements allocated to a given subsystem (strength) and the degree of interdependency between subsystems (coupling). It employs N-Squared analysis techniques using the N2C tool or an I-CASE matrix generator.

• System Modeling. This method derives or verifies system and subsystem requirements. In the system specification stage of a project, system performance modeling determines subsystem performance requirement allocations from system-level requirements.

• User Interface Prototyping. This method involves the creation of "facade" displays and provides user feedback on display interaction responsiveness. It supports the derivation and specification of display response requirements.

• Operations Concept Analysis. This analytical technique assesses top-level design compatibility with the intended opera-tions concept. For large and complex systems we use the CTA Computer-Human Operational Requirements Analysis System (CHORAS) tool. This tool applies a composition graph theory model to the allocation of requirements between the system and its users and supports the definition of user tasks for subsequent training development.

• Requirements Traceability. This method ensures that functional requirements are completely allocated within the top-level design. For large and complex system designs, CTA's Requirements Traceability Analysis Tool (RTAT) tool supports one-to-many and many-to-one allocation mappings and identifies "orphan" requirements.

Installation is achieved incrementally (in phases) or as a single, complete activity depending on the size and complexity of the system. The approach selected is defined in the Installation and Conversion Plan, which is approved by the client. The installation approach is closely linked to the software development approach. If the software installation or upgrade is very large and complex, the software is developed in phases or "Builds." The installation approach for a large, complex system could involve multiple phases where functionality is brought on-line incrementally. This reduces risks by implementing small controllable segments and allowing time to train the user. Additional benefits to the incremental installation approach include providing functionality to the users at the earliest possible time as well as providing the client the capability to evaluate design concepts in an operational environment before the complete system is installed, thus making it easier to make any adjustments (if required).

For smaller systems, installation and conversion is typically performed in one increment.

IT NETWORK MANAGEMENT SERVICES (FPDS CODE D316)

CTA’s network services approach includes the use of a set of tools to support activities such as network design evaluation, network performance monitoring, network components modeling, network management, and network trouble shooting. The process consists of five integrated phases: requirements analysis, design, installation and integration, test, and operation and maintenance.
