PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT FIRST ARMY, G-8, COMPTROLLER

REQUIREMENTS MANAGEMENT TOOL DEVELOPMENT, IMPLEMENTATION AND SUPPORT SERVICES

1. BACKGROUND

First Army is the oldest and longest established field army of the United States Army. It now serves as a mobilization, readiness, authority for the implementation of Army Total Force Policy (ATFP), First Army partners with the Army National Guard and US Army Reserve, to enable Reserve Component (RC) formations to achieve Headquarters Department of the Army directed readiness goals and deliver trained and ready RC units to support Combatant Commanders (CCDR) requirements.

First Army contracted Idea Entity to develop First Army Command Training and Requirements System (FACTORS), with the contract covering the period of 30 Sep 2020 28 Feb 2024. FACTORS is a modern Planning, Programming, Budgeting and Execution (PPBE) tool that allows for validation and funding of requirements at appropriate echelon and generates a flat file that is ingested into the Army ERP system GFEBs to develop its Command Budget Estimate (CBE). Utilizing a similar workflow to that of the CBE, FACTORS allows for the management of the Un-Funded Requirements (UFR) process to ensure that requirements, both planned and emerging, are validated, prioritized, and funded appropriately. FACTORS will also provide analytics of budget execution in the form of daily status of funds and will incorporate the creation of the annual Program Objective Memorandum (POM Budget (PB).

2. OBJECTIVE

The Contractor shall provide technical development, implementation and support that will seamlessly integrate with the existing FACTORS tool to maintain capabilities that have already been developed. The solution shall remain able to be deployable on-premises and be a highly scalable, flexible, and robust tool with integrated programming, requirements, and budget formulation activities as well as business intelligence and dashboard reporting capabilities to inform Training Synchronization Support Working Group (TSSWG), Semi-annual Training Support Briefs (SATSB) and CBEs.

The dashboard shall continue to reduce or eliminate the need for 1A G8 users to manually manipulate data or create individual spreadsheets and records. The dashboard will continue to provide views of real-requirements. The dashboard will continue to allow development, insertion, and extraction of information by budget categories, directorate, object class and fund code. The dashboard shall continue to interface with GFEBS, enable functional area requirement validation, align resources with requirements, manage the First Army UFR process, and incorporate requirements into the Program Objective Memorandum (POM) process. The dashboard will continue to have cost modeling capability to assist in the estimation of funding requirements for various exercise support. Additionally, if, at any point in this period of performance, First Army deems it necessary to migrate from SharePoint eve this requirement.

The contractor shall provide on-site (Rock Island Arsenal, IL), non-personnel services to support First Army personnel with administration, functional maintenance, and business analysis for FACTORS.
