About this file
This document is an appendix listing the Army Contracting Web System (ACWS) product backlog as of August 4, 2026, detailing planned system capabilities across multiple functional areas.
The backlog encompasses eighteen capability categories spanning the complete federal contracting lifecycle. Enterprise-wide award execution capabilities include CAC-enabled and bi-lateral digital signature functionality, electronic transmission of awards and modifications, and conformance pre-award checks at the Economic Development Administration. Pre-award capabilities address solicitation posting to SAM.gov, integration with the PIEE Solicitation Module, reverse auction functionality, and dynamic form creation. Post-award capabilities include Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) management improvements with Army-wide orders, contract closeout through the PIEE Closeout Module, closeout procedures for non-FAR actions, and unliquidated obligations management. Additional system administration features encompass mass modifications, work and office re-alignment, and advanced PIID number maintenance utilizing code developed by Navy ePS. The backlog further includes workload assignment and strategic sourcing capabilities with automatic and manual pre-award and post-award assignment, workload tracking, and automated intelligent sourcing identification. Supporting functions address audit processes including PMRs, legal holds, protest and dispute management, and archiving/purging; source selection integration for both simple and complex procedures; vendor portal development for industry interaction; foreign military sales unique requirements; contextual system help and assistance features; and disconnected state technical capabilities for contract execution without network connectivity.
