*PROGRAM BACKGROUND*

The Center for Army Leadership (CAL) is seeking a Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) solution to provide, formulate and input a multitude of Army Assessments for varying military centric audiences.

The cArmy Enterprise Assessment System (cAEAS) is an US Army operated assessment and feedback delivery platform hosted on the cArmy Azure Cloud. The platform is located behind a F5 firewall and contains impact level 4 (IL4) information/data. User access is limited to DoD common access card (CAC) holders which are authenticated through Enterprise Access Management Services-Army (EAMS-A). Once logged into cAEAS, users can self-initiate leader development self-report and multisource (360-degree) assessments. Further, users can complete assigned assessments and requests for feedback. Completion of assessments produce feedback reports customized from the results of one (self-report) or more assessments (multisource). Feedback reports are housed within a feedback report repository for continual access throughout a Soldier or civilian’s Army career.

Administrative functions on cAEAS allow for the creation and deployment of assessments, feedback reports, and collections at-scale for the Army (i.e., from individual Soldiers up to brigade-sized units). Collections include both single-source and/or multisource assessments. Collections are managed and monitored through role-based access (RBA). RBA also allowing monitoring user engagement with the platform, assessments, and feedback reports through drill-down dashboards.
