    (a)  Offerors are advised that electronic order 
transmission is available for use via the Paperless Order 
Placement System (POPS) application.  If the successful 
offeror chooses to use Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), 
they will be required to have a compatible computer system 
capable of accepting our offers and processing 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 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
