B-REQUEST FOR INFORMATION PERTINENT TO COMPANY Y2K COMPLIANCE 17. The US Coast Guard Aircraft Repair & Supply Center is developing a Business Continuity Contingency Plan (BCCP), to establish, test and document procedures needed in case of any disruption of services and utilities that could be caused by Y2K. We are striving to have our plan developed by June and fully tested no later than August of this year. Our ability to communicate with vendors regarding the shipment of material, tracking and payment for material is critical to our BCCP. Our payment process encompasses the issuance of an order, shipment of the material to the contractor's facility, receipt of material at the U.S. Coast Guard activity, matching the invoice with the receipt, and payment. We are asking each contractor currently doing business with ARSC to provide the name and phone number of a point of contact who can address their corporate capabilities, state of readiness for the impending Y2K uncertainties, as well as their contingency plans, by 31 May 1999. The e-mail address for this response is arscy2k@arsc.uscg.mil. If you do not have access to e-mail, fax responses to PO Kristine Kreider, Procurement Support Branch, US Coast Guard Aircraft Repair & Supply Center, Elizabeth City, NC 27909 at (252) 335-6840. Questions may be directed to PO Kreider at (252) 335-6613 or Mr. Gus Holzmiller at (252) 335-6436. Posted 05/12/99 (W-SN330531).
