1 Introduction
The Corporate Work Plan (CWP) system (“CWP” or “the CWP system”) is the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) system for tracking and managing the full lifecycle of Air Traffic
Organization (ATO) programs associated with the establishment, modernization and sustainment of National Airspace System (NAS) systems and infrastructure. CWP tools are a mixed client-server and web-based system serving as the primary management system used by the FAA for requirements identification, internal budget preparation, financial control, implementation planning, resource estimating, project management, performance measuring, and upward reporting on projects from inception through capitalization.
The CWP system provides program management functionality to support an end-to-end project management system that is aligned with Project Management Institute principles. The CWP system encompasses specific project, program and IT roles, processes, tools and outputs. The
CWP system enables FAA lines of business to improve the efficiency and efficacy of projects and programs. The CWP system is an Organizational Process Asset that contributes to the processes, policies, and corporate body of knowledge of the FAA. This statement of work
(SOW) identifies functional work areas to support the CWP system in the day-to-day execution of its mission.
1.1 Background
The CWP Program Office (ABP-360), within the Office of Budget and Programs (ABP-1), is responsible for the overall management of the CWP Program. Technical oversight of the CWP hardware and software is provided by the Office of Information and Technology (AIT).
The CWP Program Office provides overall program direction, coordinates requirements and specifications with users, assigns development priorities, publishes manuals, provides user training, and establishes and administers contracts to provide software and hardware to support the program.
The CWP Program Office requires technical support with additional emphasis on various operating system(s), including, but not limited to: the ability to perform both Oracle and operating system performance monitoring and make necessary adjustments; providing a strategic database direction for various business organizations; knowledge of all Oracle tools which support P6 and OPPM; sound knowledge of the CWP custom application; and knowledge of all
IT functions, as Operations and Maintenance (O&M) responsibility includes recommendations impacting database design, database implementation, backup, and recovery. Background in the
CWP business process and an understanding of the technical support required is critical to maintaining the CWP and ensure success of this highly complex and interdependent program, its processes and tools.
CWP hardware and software functionality includes:
• Financial Planning and Control: The Financial Planning and Control core function consists of Facilities & Equipment (F&E) project requirements identification, F&E budget priorities, Project Material List (PML) preparation, planned project funding identification in support of the CWP program, detailed cost estimate preparation, 1680
Header export to the DELPHI system, financial execution tracking, and the capitalization identification and process tool.
• Corporate Work Plan: CWP consists of CWP identification, preparation, and base lining;
labor requirements identification; and a congressional reporting tool (for commissioning or replacements).
• Program and Project Management: The program/project management component can create/maintain Work Breakdown Structures (WBS), link related projects and activities, engage in various budget activities, and initiate and track schedules. The schedule tracking functions involve the International Business, Finance, and Economics (IBFE) program with F&E funded material.
• Cost Tracking Capabilities: Configurable for establishing special programs in emergencies or disasters such as the events of 9/11/2001, Hurricane Isabel, and the
Seattle Earthquake.
• Other: The capability to incorporate Operations- and Reimbursable-funded projects utilizing the same functionality utilized with F&E projects.
The CWP Program Office is currently engaged in a project to upgrade its system in order to refresh technology and improve the usability of the system. The main goal of this project, called
“CWP Ascend,” is to replace the existing custom tools with an integrated, workflow-based modern software solution. CWP Ascend will build on existing processes and introduce new functionality, roles and procedures to better collect and manage data, ultimately supporting FAA management of key programs and projects. All CWP actions will take place in portal centric, integrated application, focused on integrated business processes. When complete, the CWP
Ascend project will provide a consistent look, feel and operation across business process functions. All roles will be organizationally neutral and the system will provide customized business processes. It will automatically create project artifacts and documentation and make them easier to locate. CWP will then be more closely aligned with the Service Area Project
Management (SAPM) and industry standards, while leveraging modern technologies, e.g. Oracle
Application Development Framework, to reduce the time to make system changes and enhancements and to improve system efficiency and responsiveness. While CWP Ascend will introduce many important improvements, it will not dramatically change the program’s core business processes.
1.2 Objectives
This statement of work provides business program management, project management, and information technology (IT) support services to the Capital Budget Division in the operation and maintenance of the CWP system.
The objectives of this effort are as follows:
• Provide a variety of current and future Business Program and Project Management
Support to the CWP Business Office;
• Provide IT support to all environments developed, operated and maintained by the CWP
Business Office, including new and emerging technologies which will evolve over the life of the support contract, and
• Perform Lifecycle Support of Oracle products (see below), COTS tools, and custom tools associated with the execution of the CWP mission.
1.3 CWP System Overview
The CWP is comprised of Oracle COTS tools including Database, Primavera, and Oracle Project
Portfolio Management (OPPM) database. The majority of the CWP business requirements are embedded in the OPPM database and implemented within the configuration of the COTS tools.
There are also numerous custom tools and interfaces requiring unique database design and implementation oversight.
The current boundary of CWP is as defined in the CWP Security Certification and Accreditation
(C&A), and includes the following Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) and custom systems, subsystems, and interfaces:

The CWP system boundary, including the previously stated COTS and custom systems, subsystems, and interfaces, will change with the implementation of CWP Ascend. The boundary may also change with new and emerging technologies that will evolve over the life of the support contract. These will not dramatically change the program’s core business processes and all such changes and evolution is included within the scope of this Contract.
The tools comprising the CWP are implemented in five distinct environments:
1. Production (PROD);
2. Test (TEST);
3. Development (DEV);
4. Sandbox; and
5. Training.
CWP environments are built to different standards based on intended use and anticipated user load, therefore practices, procedures, and performance may vary between environments.
1.4 Scope of Work
This Statement of Work (SOW) is comprised of distinct functional work areas that establish the scope of the Contract. This SOW is intended to define the overall scope of work under the
Contract; specific requirements within the scope of these functional work areas will be identified, defined, and issued under individually funded task orders. Defining a functional work area within the scope of work does not represent a commitment on the part of the Government to issue a task order for support in that area. The Government is under no obligation to order all work efforts within the contract scope. The Contractor must provide the full range of support capabilities defined in the task orders issued under this Contract. The Contractor must furnish the necessary personnel, materials, equipment, and facilities required to satisfy the requirements of the individual task orders.
The required services are grouped according to the following functional work areas:
• Business Program and Project Management Support
• Oracle, COTS, and Custom Tools Lifecycle Support
• Infrastructure Services
• Operations Services
• Application Maintenance and Support Services
• Help Desk and Help Desk Management Support Services
• Change and Configuration Management Support Services
• New Systems Implementation and Relocation Support Services
• Transition Phases of Performance
The Government may issue individual task orders that encompass one or more of the above-named tasks. Each individual task order will have a defined period of performance. This
Statement of Work is intended to be a broad statement of the scope of work included in the base
IDIQ Contract. Requirements will be specified at the Task Order level. It is important for the
Contractor to understand the demarcation of service. The Information Systems and Technology
Services Division, AIT utilizes many contractors and other FAA internal organizations in support of CWP. Understanding these demarcations must facilitate an accurate and complete response from the Contractor.
The demarcation of service is defined as:
• The infrastructure is located in 2 data centers: Enterprise Data Center (EDC) Mike
Monroney Aeronautical Center (MMAC) Oklahoma City, OK, and EDC William J.
Hughes Technical Center (WJHTC) Atlantic City, NJ. The Contractor must fully support the FAA’s maintenance of any CWP equipment in all environments. The Contractor will be responsible for the application layer up while the FAA Office of Information and
Technology (AIT) will be responsible for layers under the application (e.g., networking).
As the application layer and up often depend on components managed by AIT, under the application layer, the Contractor will need to properly coordinate activities with AIT to ensure overall CPW success.
1.5 Inherently Governmental Functions
In its performance of the Contract, the Contractor must not perform inherently governmental functions, as identified in the Office of Federal Procurement Policy Letter 11-01. These functions are so intimately related to the public interest as to require performance by Federal
Government employees. The term includes functions that require the exercise of discretion in applying Federal Government authority or the making of value judgments in making decisions for the Government. This would include, among other things, binding the Government to take or not to take some action by contract, policy, regulation, authorization, order, or otherwise, and exerting ultimate control over the acquisition, use, or disposition of the property of the United
States, including the collection, control, or disbursement of appropriations and other Federal funds.
