Submission of a Customer Profile Statement describing the Ada 95 initiative and government points of contacts will be used to judge acceptance. Until the level of GNAT maintenance support demand is identified, at this time, the AJPO contemplates furnishing support licenses for up to 3 programmers per project. Ada Core Technologies requires support licenses for all persons on the project who author or modify Ada source code that will be passed through the Ada compiler. To request a free allocation from the AJPO send the following information to Gary Shupe at mailto:shupeg@ncr.disa.mil or U.S. mail at Center For Computer Systems Engineering, Code JEXH, Attention: Gary Shupe, 5600 Columbia Pike, Falls Church, VA 22041-2717. 1. DOD Organization Name and Organization Address. 2. Administrative Point of Contact with Phone and Fax numbers, and e-mail address. 3.
