About this file
This document is a sole source justification for enhancements to the Case and Contact Management System (CCMS3) for the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service. Planet Technologies, the incumbent contractor that developed CCMS2 and migrated the system to CCMS3, would provide the enhancements. The enhancements would add invoicing functionality to CCMS3 within the Microsoft Dynamics/PowerApps ecosystem to process invoices from non-case sources and update contracting and invoicing processes to interface with Treasury payment systems. As the original developer of CCMS2 and CCMS3 with unique knowledge of the systems, data, and Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service operations, only Planet Technologies is qualified to perform the work. The estimated value is unstated. The justification and approvals were signed on August 31st and September 5th, 2023.

| Question 1: Enhancement to the Case and Contact Management System (CCMS3) | |
| Description: Enhancements to the current CCMS3 system in the Microsoft Dynamics/PowerApps ecosystem to create an invoicing app. Enhancements will include the capacity for other non-case FMCS invoicing sources and updated contract and invoicing processes and data collection to track against the US Treasury ARC invoicing and payment systems. | |

Option4: Planet Technologies was the primary and sole contractor for the CCMS2 upgrade in 2009, the reconstruction and migration from CCMS2 to CCMS3 and they have provided 100% of the program maintenance since the program launch. This long-standing support has provided Planet Technologies with the intimate and unique knowledge and technical skills and abilities needed to further enhance CCMS3 to meet the current needs of FMCS. In addition, Planet Technologies is familiar with the data found within CCMS3 as well as the FMCS organization, staff, policies, IT operations, and the federal enterprise policy that FMCS systems must abide by.
Seeking out another contractor to complete this enhancement would cause a significant increase in cost to the Government as another contractor would need time to familiarize itself with CCMS3, the data located within the system, and FMCS IT operations. As such, this option would not be in the best interest of the Government.
