Mission Employment. Bar code equipment will be installed at approximately 268
selected CG operational units. Equipment will initially be procured for those sites
that currently use SCAMP hardware and software. As additional software
applications are developed (i.e., CMPlus), bar code equipment may be used for
them. Commandant (G-ELM-4) will approve all new requirements for bar code
equipment for existing or newly commissioned commands or units that want to
modify their existing allowances.
3.
Life Cycle Costs. Estimated life cycle of bar code equipment is 5 years. Initial
funding for this acquisition will be provided by the Logistics Management Division,
Commandant (G-ELM). Start up costs involve the initial acquisition of bar code
hardware and software, establishment of the Electronic Engineering Center
(EECEN) programmer support and distribution of the User's Guide. Total costs for
this acquisition are estimated to be approximately .2M. Follow-on maintenance
costs will be funded by Commandant (G-ELM-4).
E.
Logistics Support Management Philosophy.
1.
The primary logistics support objective for this acquisition is to ensure that required
logistics support is in place when and where it is needed during the life cycle of bar
code equipment.
2.
At the expiration of the initial warranty period(s) identified in the INTERMEC
contract, maintenance support for bar code hardware will still be provided by
INTERMEC, Software maintenance will continue to be provided by EECEN,
Wildwood, New Jersey 08260-0060.
3.
EECEN will also distribute any upgrades developed for SCAMP application. In the
future, as additional applications are considered for bar code use (e.g., CMPlus,
Accountable Item Management (AIM), Personal Property Accountability (PPA)),
EECEN may develop bar code applications for these programs.
