On the afternoon of Monday, February 10th, Simplix contacted the Army's EDI gateway at Ogden to inquire about the unusually low number of Requests for Quotes (RFQs) being issued. As a result, Ogden was able to identify the problem and Army RFQs should be coming through normally once more.

The Army's gateway at Ogden has sent the following notice concerning this problem:

From: Ogden Customer Application Support Center
Subject: DEBX Ogden Late Request for Quotes
Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2003 15:08:07 -0700

 PLEASE DO NOT REPLY TO ALL...ANY COMMENTS OR CONCERNS CAN BE DIRECTED TO THE CUSTOMER APPLICATION SUPPORT CENTER.

Due to the service interruption to upgrade the premise router , the Ogden DEBX had several public Request For Quotes (RFQs) that did not get processed.  The problem was identified and immediately corrected.  All backlogged public RFQs were processed on 10 Feb 03 at 21:47Z
