27 JUNE 2018

The DLA Document Services Luminex system was installed in July 2015 and has recently been accepted by the government after extensive application acceptance testing. As such, the requirement exists to procure software support since only hardware maintenance support was included in the original upgrade price. Software support is necessary to ensure we receive the latest security related patches from the software vendor to protect the system from harmful viruses, spyware and other malicious code. Additionally, software maintenance is needed to obtain technical support for application related issues relative to the system.

The contractor will provide annual software support for Luminex Dataware components to include Enterprise Operator Console, Enterprise CD Report Viewer and Enterprise Composer along with associated database report index files and data extractors. The contractor will provide this annual software support for $44,368 for a period of two years.

The upgraded Luminex system was purchased by DLA Document Services in July 2015 to support paper report to digital/CD solution for logistics operations at Robins AFB. The system receives daily, weekly, monthly reports from Ogden mainframes.

Report files are converted from EPCDIC format to index files. Customers use Luminex CD Report Viewer software to view indexed reports which are distributed on CD's. The Luminex solution is unique and developed specifically for Ogden mainframe reports. Other solutions are not available or would have to be engineered to specification and costly. The application software is proprietary to Luminex and they are sole vendor supporting the application software for security patches and version releases.
