CALL FOR INPUT TO TAILORING REPORT

Request For Proposal (RFP) Tailoring Recommendations For
DOD-STD-2167A & Ada


As a working group under SIGAda, the Software Development Standards and Ada
Working Group (SDSAWG) was formed in
1987 with the following objectives:

- Discover and publicize where software development
standards inhibit good Ada Software development practices.
- Recommend constructive corrections to the standard's
preparing authorities.
- Provide a forum for discussing software development standards.

In 1991, the RFP Tailoring Recommendations Subgroup was
formed to focus on tailoring issues related to DOD-STD-2167A (Defense System
Software Development) and Ada usage. This subgroup has the following
ovjectives:

- Consider problems identified by the Software Development Standards and Ada
Working Group (SDSAWG) and other sources.
- Provide sample Statement of Work (SOW) and Contract Data Requirements List
(CDRL) templates for use in future
procurements.
- Reflect in the templates proposed wording for software
sections of the SOW and CDRL items, which may be used by contractors to propose
tailoring recommendations in response
to draft Requests for Proposals (RFPs) or Government
personnel in preparing RFPs and contracts.

The Tailoring Recommendations Subgroup plans to publish a draft report in July
'92, and the final in March '93. To gain as much insight into the tailoring
problem and potential solutions as possible, we welcome RFPs, presentations,
papers, articles, or other information sources. We are particularly interested
in hearing from people with: (1) "first-hand experience" developing software in
Ada and in accordance with DOD-STD-2167A, and (2) "workable solutions" for the
problems encountered.

Please send all information by May 15, 1992 to:
