TU International
Falls Church, VA
1980
In response to a RFP, developed a workstation to interface with LEGIS, CMS, JURIS, and other systems used by US Senate Staff. Intended to replace at least 3 seperate terminals and/or workstations in all US Senator's offices.
This custom system utilized state-of-the-art microprocessor hardware and custom software to emulate the systems being replaced.
No other vendor was able to meet the specs of the RFP. So after objections from vendor-constituants, a Senate Committee reversed the award and prohibited the Master at Arms from allowing any similar RFP to be issued until competitive bidding was possible--which never happened.
