                          DSCR  (MAR 2001)

    (a)  In support of the Paperless Ordering Placement 
System (POPS), the awardee will be required to have a 
compatible computer system capable of accepting our offers 
and processing Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) 
transactions.  The American National Standards Institute's 
(ANSI) X12 Standard will be utilized for formatting the 
EDI transactions. The EDI system must be available for on 
line processing not later than 30 days after date of award.

    (b)  The computer system must also be Year 2000 (Y2K) 
Compliant. Year 2000 compliant, used with respect to 
technology, means that the information technology 
accurately processes date/time data (including, but 
not limited to, calculating, comparing, and sequencing) 
from, into, and between the twentieth and twenty-first 
centuries, and the years 1999 and 2000 and leap year 
calculations, to the extent that other information 
technology, used in combination with the information 
technology being acquired, properly exchanges date/time 
data with it.

currently sent, received, and processed by the Defense 
Supply Center Richmond:

         850 Purchase/Delivery Order Transaction Set

using the Web-856 application, if it becomes available.
