The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) intends to purchase a Percon Web Based Search Tool update from PerCon Corporation. The FCC has had an ongoing subscription support contract, since 2008 for the PerCon DataLinks Internet system. The PerCon Corporation is a developer and publisher of government related databases, specializing in FCC and GIS data. This PerCon DataLinks system is critical to the FCC in that it helps the Commission's Enforcement Bureau (EB) Field Office Engineers to fulfill its mission and it is required to download information. EB has a need to enhance the PerCon DataLinks system with the creation of a web interface to the existing PerCon service to allow EB to make direct queries from the FCC's connected software application to the PerCon DataLinks site for FCC licensee, antenna registration, GMF, and other data sets currently provided by the PerCon subscription. The purpose of the acquisition is to promote the development and application of electrotechnology and allied science for the benefit of humanity, and the advancement of the profession.
