COMPTROLLER EXTENSIBLE MARKUP

LANGUAGE (XML) EXHIBITS TOOL

FOR

DEFENSE TECHNICAL INFORMATION CENTER (DTIC)

1. INTRODUCTION

The Comptroller XML Exhibits (CXE) tool requires the continuation of support to continue planned application improvements, prepare for and support the FY 2023 Budget Estimate Submission through the FY 2027 President’s Budget request budget cycles. The contractor will provide expert application and Financial Management Regulation (FMR) user support, provide indexing and ingestion support of data generated by the Budget Estimate Submission and the President’s Budget request for both analytics tools (Kibana and Qlik) and keep the application and documentation prepared for the transition to another DoD Agency’s supported environment.

2. BACKGROUND

The Comptroller XML Exhibits was first implemented during the FY 2009 Budget Estimate Submission cycle for Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation (RDT&E) Budget Exhibits. The CXE application expanded to include all RDT&E Budget and Procurement exhibits in 2012. The application has been used in 38 separate Program Objective Memorandum (POM), Budget Estimate Submission, President’s Budget request and Amended budget submission cycles and is an essential component within the Department of Defense's (DoD) Budget Formulation process. It integrates 350 RDT&E and 150 Procurement budget exhibits created by all DoD components into 75 standard, well formatted, validated, and math checked Justification Books, suitable for submission to Congress. Mandated by policy, the Budget Estimate Submission is required to be submitted to the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense, Comptroller (OUSD(C) each September and mandated by law, the President’s Budget request must be delivered to Congress every year during the first week of February.

Prior to CXE, the primary tools for creating Budget Exhibits for Congress were Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel. The process created a high degree of inconsistent and inaccurate exhibits across the DoD. The implementation of the CXE application created consistent math and format checked exhibits for all DoD Services (Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force) and Agencies.

DTIC, through its contractor support, has developed and implemented the complete set of RDT&E and Procurement exhibits, including the Shipbuilding and Conversion, Navy (SCN) Procurement budget exhibits, and supported multiple Office of the Secretary of Defense Federal Financial Management Regulation (OSD / FMR) reform efforts.

Completely redesigned the RDT&E User Interface (UI) to take advantage of the latest web technologies, incorporating an updated modern user interface to parallel the layout of the actual published exhibits so that entering data is more intuitive for users. Deployed the CXE application on the SIPR classified network, giving the Intelligence Community the ability to submit XML based classified budgets and used for the first time during the Budget Estimate Submission for FY 2017. Completed development of a set of analytics tools and populated them with all the Budget Estimate Submission and President’s Budget request data generated by the CXE tool since the 2009 President’s Budget request. Developed and implemented significant application and administration enhancements and user requested changes, including the Program Resources Collection Process (PRCP) Validation Tool. Completed an automated workflow process that moves finished exhibits to OUSD(C) Analysts and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Examiners for final review prior to submission to Congress. Supported multiple unplanned budget submission requirements including separate Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO) and amended and supplemental budget submissions, which have occurred during administration changes.

2.1 Services are performed in four (4) categories:

2.1.1 Business process re-engineering

2.1.1.1 This includes efforts focused on implementing application fixes and enhancements based on user input and OSD guidance, including development of appropriate business rules that govern the data, insuring that all exhibits and Justification Books prepared are suitable for submission to Congress.

2.1.1.2 All implementations within the application are be compatible across the utilizing DoD Components’ formulation processes and tool sets.

2.1.2 Information Technology (IT) development

2.1.2.1 Information Technology development is focused on advanced

XML applications development with the caveat that all solutions provided and leveraged with DoD Components must be open source.

2.1.2.2 Even as the DoD Components become more advanced in their use of XML, the interface interoperability of their budget formulation tools with the CXE tool remains an ongoing challenge requiring collaboration between the CXE software engineers and the DoD Components.

2.1.3 Budget Estimate Submission and President’s Budget request budget submission support

2.1.3.1 The over 400 registered DoD users, from the all DoD Services and

Agencies, who use the CXE application to prepare their budgets require a considerable amount of customer support. This support consistently begins at least six (6) weeks prior to submission deadlines and often requires support during off-duty times weekdays and weekends. Service/Agency users change regularly and new users of the application require the most support.

2.1.3.2 Bugs encountered with the application during budget submissions require immediate attention from the team’s developers.

2.1.3.3 The team reacts frequently to application changes requested by OUSD(C) while budget submissions are underway.

2.1.4 Analytics

2.1.4.1 The contractor facilitates the ingestion of the annual Budget

Estimate Submission and the President’s Budget request cycle data into the Kibana and Qlik Sense applications.

2.1.4.2 The current process involves ingesting and testing initial annual budget data indexes in DTIC’s local version of Kibana (a component of the Elastic Stack) then copying the data into the OUSD(C) Advana Qlik Sense analytics tool for OUSD(C) management and analyst use for analyzing year over year budget data.
