The program provides a means to automatically exchange certain types of technical data essential in the research, development, production and operational life cycle of systems and equipment. The program is centrally managed and funded by the Government. Its participating organizations are major U.S. Government agencies such as: Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Defense Supply Agency, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Federal Aviation Administration, Energy Research and Development Administration, Small Business Administration, National Security Agency, General Services Administration, as well as the Canadian Department of Defense.. and includes hundreds of industrial commercial organizations. Any activity which uses and/or generates the types of data GIDEP exchanges may be considered for membership. The program specifically excludes classified and proprietary information. Participants in GIDEP are provided access to four major data banks: (1) The Engineering Data Bank (EDB). This contains engineering evaluation and qualification test reports, nonstandard parts justification data, parts/materials specifications, manufacturing processes, failure analysis data, and other related engineering data on parts, components, materials, and processes. The bank includes a section of reports on specific engineering methodology and techniques. (2) The Failure Rate Data Bank (FRDB). This contains failure rate/mode data on parts and components based on field performance information and reliability demonstration tests on operational systems and equipment. (3) The Metrology Data Bank (MDB). This contains test equipment calibration procedures and related metrology engineering data on test systems, calibration systems, and measurement technology. (4) The Failure Experience Data Bank (FEDB). This contains GIDEP ALERTS, consisting of objective failure information generated wherever significant problems are identified on parts and materials. Special Services are provided within GIDEP through two unique systems: The ALERT system, in which the participant is notified of problem areas; and the Urgent Data Request (UDR) system in which a GIDEP participant may query all other GIDEP participants on specific problems. Participation requirements or additional information about GIDEP may be obtained by contacting the GIDEP Operations Center, Naval Fleet Missile Systems Analysis and Evaluation Group, Corona, California, 91720, Telephone: (714) 7364677.

Research and development activities within the United States Government and their associated contractors, subcontractors, and grantees with current Government contracts are eligible to receive most of the information from the DOD data banks located at DDC. In addition, research and development organizations without current contracts may become eligible for service by a military service authorization under the Defense potential contractors programs. DDC serves the general public indirectly, where unclassified/unlimited documents are concerned, through a special arrangement with the National Technical Information Service (NTIS), Department of Commerce. DDC provides NTIS copies of unlimited/unclassified research and development reports which are sponsored, cosponsored or generated by the Department of Defense.

Agency Contact: Lester Klein, Office of Grants and Procurement Management. 245-8740. The Department-wide Contract Information System (DCIS) was developed and implemented to provide the Secretary with accurate and timely microdata on the Department's procurement activities. By collecting and maintaining microdata on contracts and modifications, DCIS possesses the capability of generating any and all summary reports on procurement that are needed to satisfy statutory reporting requirements, congressional and public inquiries, and the overall management responsibility of the Office of Grants and Procurement Management. All the Department's contracting offices are required to submit contractual data on awards negotiated and let via the use of prescribed system input forms. Every office that submits at least one form will receive an acknowledgement of its submission in the form of a decoded report on each new procurement at approximately two week intervals. System data elements include, but are not limited, to the following: contracting office code, fiscal year, type of procurement, type of contract, contractor identification, effective date, completion date, dollar value, and milestone/task completion dates. The system is capable of generating several recurring output reports. Specific examples of system outputs are: (1) active contracts on file by agency--this report displays each contract by contract number and identifies its expiration date, dollar value and contractor of record. In addition, it displays the total number of contracts and the associated dollar value by agency; (2) activity report on procurement--this report delineates total prime procurement and displays statistics on selected types of procurements, such as small business set-asides, procurements in labor surplus areas, and procurement of construction; (3) milestones that become due in next 30 days--this report identifies those contracts by contractor in which major tasks are required to be accomplished within a 30-day period. For each contract identified, the task completion date is displayed. S00500-002 *Data Base Directory. Budget Function/Subfunction: Executive direction and management (802).

S00500-006 Audit/Tracs System (ATS). Budget Function/Subfunction: Executive direction and management (802). Agency Contact: Roy Young, Office of Administration and Management. 245-7621. The DHEW's Audit Agency (HEWAA) is charged with the task of auditing the Department's grants to States and local units of government which involved some $20 billion in Federal funds during FY 74. The major thrust of the State and local audit effort is the effectiveness, efficiency, and fiscal accountability of selected DHEW programs, some of which are SRS Programs such as Public Assistance Vocational Rehabilitation and WIN II; nursing home operations; and Office of Education programs. To maintain accountability of Federal funds, HEWAA with the assistance of DSP has developed two automated audit systems: (1) Audit Information Systems (AIS), and (2) Time Reporting and Audit Control System (TRACS). AIS provides HEWAA with reports on the third (report) phase of the audit process. Information is provided and statistics computed on completed audits of Federal programs, such as new reports in the system and outstanding audit reports and actions currently taken. TACS is intended to provide HEWAA's Division of Audit Coordination and the various Regional Audit Offices with timely information, both summarized and detailed, regarding the status of audits in progress and the utilization of auditor man-hours. Tracs is basically a system for maintaining accountability on staff use and progress of audits. Its special features are directed to allocating combined Federal funds to special audit accounts, so that reimbursable audit man-hours are recorded for billing.

This publication lists the research and development projects in vocational education supported in each state through grants and contracts funded by the states under Section 131(b) of Part C of the Vocational Education Amendments of 1968. Part C provides Federal funding to be used for up to 75 percent of the costs of the State Research Coordinating Unit (RCU), and for grants and contracts covering 90 percent of the costs of research and/or developmental projects. The listing is arranged alphabetically by state, showing the title of each project, the name of the grantee or contractor conducting the project, and the amount of Section C funding obligated for the project. The total amount of funds obligated may not equal the amount allotted, since a portion of the allotment for the awarding of grants and contracts may be used for the support of the RCU, and because unused funds may be carried over and obligated the following year. Information for the compilation of the system is supplied to the U.S. Office of Education by each state. Additional descriptive information on each of the projects may be located in the 'Research Projects in Progress' section of Abstracts of Instructional and Research Materials in Vocational and Technical Education.
