This AWIPS Technical Library Community was founded to support the National Weather Service's AWIPS Contract Recompete effort.  Since it is a public-facing repository, it has become a popular reference site for private industry, academia, State and Federal Government, and hobbiests interested in AWIPS.

With the release of the AWIPS Request For Proposals (RFP), the artifacts currently in the AWIPS Technical Library's "Document Library" make up the "baseline" set of artifacts for purposes of the AWIPS acquisition.

If any of these artifacts need to be updated before all acquisition-related activities have been completed, a separate "Document Library" will be created so the "baseline" set of artifacts remains unchanged.

-----
For purposes of the AWIPS Acquisition, the OB14.4.1 source code, installers, executables, documentation, and AWIPS Development Environment (ADE) is considered to be the "baseline" version of AWIPS.

New AWIPS releases will continue to be posted at the server linked by the "AWIPS II Software Download" menubar item, however the OB14.4.1 version will continue to be the "baseline" version for the AWIPS Acquisition.  OB14.4.1 and all associated files will remain on that server until the contract has been awarded and all acquisition-related activities have been completed.
