v1.2_JUNE2016 software could meet the Government’s requirements utilizing the MakaiPlan Software Suite. As such, MakaiPlan Pro is the only software that meets the Government’s minimum requirements for interoperability with existing NUWCDIVNPT infrastructure and continuity requirements across multiple Government Commands, as further described below.

The existing models are all based upon MakaiPlan Pro, and versions of MakaiPlan including Makailay software and its database format. Existing processes are in-place at

NUWCDIVNPT to develop route position lists and exchange with customers utilizing MakaiPlan

Pro. All of the files created by MakaiPlan Pro are readily transferable to support ongoing installation work that utilizes the existing Makailay software. This would not be possible if another software was used due to incompatibility of the files with the existing Makailay software.

Furthermore, the MakaiPlan Pro software is the only compatible program that will allow

NUWCDIVNPT to direct load and visualize “as-laid data” into the existing software infrastructure.

Additionally, the both utilize Makai software. NUWCDIVNPT collaborates with both agencies on installation and refurbishment projects and has the imminent need to utilize common software in order to optimize the performance and lifespan of the range. Therefore, it is imperative that NUWCDIVNPT continues to utilize MakaiPlan Pro for data exchange and collaboration with

Without MakaiPlan Pro, NUWCDIVNPT will not have the capabilities in house to design the

Additionally, if other than MakaiPlan Pro software is procured, NUWCDIVNPT would be required to convert all of its existing databases into the new software data format. The cost associated with this task is estimated to be , which includes

. Furthermore, as stated above, if other than MakaiPlan Pro software is procured, NUWCDIVNPT would no longer possess the ability to generate unique files for use by on current and future planned collaborative projects. If NUWCDIVNPT is unable to collaborate with , RESELLERS:
