DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY


Computer Software Available for License

AGENCY:  Office of General Counsel, Department of Energy.

ACTION:  Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY:  The U.S. Department of Energy announces that the following 
computer software is available for license: EC-WEB and EC/EDI Gateway 
small purchase software.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:  Michael P. Hoffman, Office of the 
Assistant General Counsel for Technology Transfer and Intellectual 
Property, U.S. Department of Energy, 1000 Independence Avenue S.W., 
Washington, D.C. 20585; Telephone (202) 586-2802.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:  The above-captioned computer software was 
prepared by a DOE contractor. It is used to assist the Department in 
making small purchases. The software is currently in need of revision, 
and the Department is looking for one or more private-sector parties 
who will revise and maintain the software at their own expense. A 
royalty free, worldwide, non-exclusive, or if deemed necessary, 
exclusive copyright license will be given as the incentive. The 
Government will retain an unlimited, royalty free, non-exclusive 
license in the original version of the software, and will receive a 
Government-wide, non-exclusive, world-wide, royalty free license to 
reproduce, distribute and modify the revised version prepared by the 
selected exclusive copyright licensee. The selected private-sector 
party or parties will have the right to market the software to non-
Government parties. Parties will be given 45 calendar days from the 
date of this Notice to contact the Department. After the period for 
response has elapsed, respondents will be sent a series of questions on 
their plans for revising and maintaining the software, and under what 
terms they would make it available to the Government. DOE will then 
decide which party or parties to select.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on February 1, 2000.
Paul A. Gottlieb,
Assistant General Counsel for Technology Transfer and Intellectual 
Property.
