Comprehensive Cost and Requirements (CCaR) System Support II

8 November 2017

1. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

Background: The Comprehensive Cost and Requirement (CCaR) System is an automated requirement management system which assists program and financial managers in planning, budgeting, and execution of those requirements. CCaR interfaces with a variety of Department of Defense (DOD) financial software tools including:

Automated Business Services System (ABSS)

General Accounting and Finance System (GAFS/BQ/G2)

System Metric and Reporting Tool (SMART)

Specialized Accounting and Finance Enterprise System (SAFES)

Defense Enterprise Accounting and Management System (DEAMS)

Local Contract Writing System

CCaR creates a central repository of requirement, cost, and budget information - reducing the time required to review, manage, program, and execute financial resources as well as standardizing the formats used across multiple organizations for these efforts. Additionally, the system is mandated for use by the

Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) for all financial information and is used by their staff to review execution and other related subjects versus tasking calls to users locally.

Because of the complexity of the CCaR System these following positions are required to support organizations in funding, planning, execution, and reporting requirements within organizations and at higher headquarters. These positions will also provide functional and administrative expertise, and train personnel to adapt and maintain business processes:

Experienced CCaR Business Analysts (BA)

Experienced CCaR Database Administrator (DBA)

Purpose: The purpose of this effort is to provide CCaR BA and DBA support to the following organizations:

Air Force Life Cycle Management Center Other Locations (AFLCMC/OL), Staffs at Eglin

Air Force Base (AFB), FL

Air Force Life Cycle Management Center Armament Directorate (AFLCMC/EB), Eglin

AFB, FL

Foreign Military Sales within Armament Directorate (AFLCMC/EB), Eglin AFB, FL

Foreign Military Sales within Armament Directorate (AFLCMC/EBH), Hill AFB, UT

Foreign Military Sales within Armament Directorate (AFLCMC/EBR), Robins AFB, GA

Air Force Test Center 96th Test Wing (AFTC/96 TW), Eglin AFB, FL

Air Force Test Center 412th Test Wing (AFTC/412 TW), Edwards AFB, CA
