4.0 SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS

4.0.1 Accounting Support

4.0.1.1 The contractor shall act as the focal point for all accounting actions and issues between SORDAC Program offices, SORDAC-K, Joint Special Operations Unit (JSOU), and HQ USSOCOM, Defense Financial Accounting Services (DFAS), and 6th Air Mobility Wing/Comptroller Squadron (6th AMW/CPTS). This support includes all accounting actions associated with conducting a formal Tri-Annual review within the Financial Management (FM) Suite to perform document reconciliation for all expired year accounts IAW DFAS guidance.

Support shall include providing training on the Tri-Annual review process to customers with respect to GAFS/IAPS, reconciliation systems, Mechanization of Contract Administration Services (MOCAS), Wide Area Workflow (WAWF), and other training as required; perform super module manager and Group Administration Management (GAM) roles.

4.0.1.2 The Contractor shall support the current process for updating Air Force (AF) financial systems with new accounting codes in order for the Business Financial Managers (BFMs) in the program offices to perform daily activities with respect to funds execution.

4.0.1.3 The Contractor shall research and analyze how the current SOFM accounting systems, SORDAC-K systems, and other DoD systems are currently configured and provide a plan to improve efficiency and accountability of dollars across the command using automation.

USSOCOM requires reports to be quickly generated and upon request for various reasons, however, it is the objective of the command to quickly account for dollars spent by organization, type of appropriations, type of funds, contract number, funds available, and funds disbursed without human interface. Currently, the Contracting Office receives funding documents by email or through the ABSS systems; however, the funding information must be manually entered into the Contracting system. Additionally, the fund cites are tracked at a very low level in order to get fidelity usually down to the specific office and program level. Current problem is that the number of fund cites used across the Command continues to increase causing many issues at the Contracting and Contractor level from an obligation and billing perspective.

4.0.2 Financial Management Systems Support and Financial Coding Support

4.0.2.1 Contractor support shall provide Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to provide management, training, help desk support, and software maintenance support of all USSOCOM Financial Management Systems managed by the Financial Management Systems Support team.
