The period of performance of this software license renewal is from January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010. Flightscape is unique in that is the only known source capable of providing maintenance of this software. Required Capabilities The annual software maintenance requirements are access to all RAPS/Insight software, the RAPS/Insight user website (file exchange), technical support (via email and telephone), and a full production version copy of Insights and all software updates.
