1 DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES
The requirement is to acquire non-personal Advisory and Assistance Services (A&AS) to provide program management, engineering, configuration management, and acquisition-related support to the United States Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) Joint Transportation Management System (JTMS) Joint Program Office (JPO).
2 BACKGROUND
The Transportation Financial Auditability (TFA) Working Group, established in September 2013, was charged with improving the auditability of the Department’s transportation payment transactions by standardizing procedures and recommending changes to guidance, systems integration, and training enterprise wide. The group is comprised of transportation and financial managers from the Military Services, Joint Chiefs of Staff, USTRANSCOM, DLA, DFAS, and DCMA. The Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense (Transportation Policy) and the Director of Revolving Funds, OUSD(C), provides oversight and guides the TFA’s efforts. As part of the TFA, the Executive Steering Committee (ESC) recommended an enterprise-wide approach for shipping in the business process areas of commercial freight, organic freight, and household goods /non-temporary storage, and the codifying of standard policy, processes, procedures, and business rules in the DoD regulations to achieve TFA’s objectives. This recommendation was approved in 2015, and the Department began to pursue material solutions, which led to USTRANSCOM, leading the efforts in partnership with the eight key JDDE stakeholders and other offices in DoD.
In 2017, USTRANSCOM executed a 120-day Proof of Principle (PoP) to test commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) transportation management capabilities. The PoP tested numerous scenarios to “stress” the system and validate the system could support the command’s transportation requirements.
In 2018, USTRANSCOM executed a Transportation Management System prototype that brought end-users online and booked/shipped cargo within the United States in multiple use cases. The prototype established the use of commercial off the shelf (COTS) transportation and supply chain management software in the USTRANSCOM secure cloud. The important takeaway from this prototype was not the product used but rather the fact that USTRANSCOM saw increased performance in both the supply chain and auditability across the JDDE. USTRANSCOM was able to consolidate and streamline capabilities and processes from multiple legacy applications into one system, as well as standardize the mode-agnostic transportation request process with Government and Industry. USTRANSCOM learned commercial supply chain management software can perform the functionality and data integration crucial to making decisions required to deploy and sustain the Joint Force at the time/place necessary for mission success.
In June 2022, the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense (USD) for Acquisition and Sustainment (A&S) issued a memorandum designating the JTMS program as a Business System Category (BCAT) 1 system with the USD(A&S) as the Milestone Decision Authority (MDA) consistent with DoD Instruction (DoDI) 5000.75. The memorandum requires USTRANSCOM to perform an analysis of potential acquisition pathways to inform the acquisition strategy for the JTMS program, as well as provide Executive Agent recommendations as part of the analysis assessment. The final results and recommendation were to procure an enterprise-wide Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, supported with Doctrine, Organization, Training, materiel, Leadership and Education, Personnel, Facilities, and Policy (DOTmLPF-P).
