Consultant

Confidential

This was a startup in an existing industry: providing logistics, purchasing, bidding, and complete support to buyers and sellers doing business with US and other NATO Governments. Services are provided via a portal-like platform containing tools for logistics searching, bid matching, solicitation notifications, and standards document searching/purchasing.

The system, Parts Professional, allows subscribing Government and Commercial buyers and sellers to match parts with requirements by private and public organizations, along with direct access to published solicitations and associated Government specification documents MIL SPECS and commercial standards, such as ASTM and ASME standards pertaining to the part or assembly. Parts and NSN information is acquired from many DOD entity logistics databases and linked together at the NIIN, FSC, and Part level. In addition, supporting DOD and society ASTM, ASME, etc. specifications and standards documents are linked to the part and NSN records wherever possible.

Parts Professional was built using .Net 2.0, utilizing VB.Net and MS SQL Server 2005. Certain middle ware components were delivered in Java in order to more seamlessly integrate with a partner's systems.

While building the system, sourced the DLA FLIS data and other key databases in DVD or CDROM format rather than the expensive, outdated, and cumbersome 9 track format all our competitors used. We used a third-party COTS tool, which specialized in data conversion from EBCDIC and created scripts for it to yield clean CSV and XML from the EBCDIC FLIS data. The XML, in turn, was easily imported into MS SQL Server and ready for use by our system.
