Specsintact.
Department of Defense (DOD) agencies use a specification processing system called
"SpecsIntact," an acronym for "Specifications-Kept-Intact." This system allows several
time-saving features including creation of an outline specification; paragraph
renumbering; printing without notes; reference verification; bracket removal check; and
printing of the reference standards list; a submittal register, and a report which lists test
requirements and actions of interest to the Contracting Officer. The system also
records a precise editing record and ensures maintenance of the project specification as
last edited. SpecsIntact is available on the Construction Criteria Base (CCB) website
(http://www.ccb.org/) and the SpecsIntact web site (http://specsintact.ksc.nasa.gov/.)
