PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS) FOR

SOLDIER SUPPORT INSTITUTE

GENERAL FUND ENTERPRISE BUSINESS SYSTEM (GFEBS) STRATEGIC INTEGRATOR

16 June 2020

PART 1 GENERAL INFORMATION

1. General: This is a non-personal services contract to provide GFEBS sustainment training integration and strategic plans that address the US Army Learning Model (ALM) which is contained within TRADOC Pam 525-8-2, US Army Learning Concept 2015, (ALC 2015). The Government shall not exercise any supervision or control over the contract service providers performing the services herein. Such contract service providers shall be accountable solely to the Contractor who, in turn is responsible to the Government.

1.1. Description of Services/Introduction: The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, transportation, tools, facilities, materials, supervision and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform training and strategic concepts and integration thereof and other similar duties in support of the United States Army Soldier Support Institute (SSI) and the United States Army Financial Management Command’s (USAFMCOM) training missions to include multi-functional capability (i.e., Finance and Comptroller (FC) subject matter expertise) and as defined in this Performance Work Statement except for those items specified as government furnished property and services. The contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract.

1.2. Background: In 1990 the Federal government issued a Congressional mandate, the Chief Financial Officers Act, ordering Federal agencies to centralize their finance systems to better account for their spending. In 1996, the government issued the Federal Financial Management Improvement Act (FFMIA), enabling the advancement of Federal financial management by requiring that Federal financial management systems provide accurate, reliable, and timely financial management information to the government’s managers. The General Fund Enterprise Business System (GFEBS) is the Army’s financial information technology (IT) system response to these mandates, which is in concert with the DoD’s Business Transformation Agency (BTA). GFEBS, consolidates several accounting and financial management systems. When coupled with the Army’s Logistic Management Program (LMP) and integrated into BTA’s enterprise initiatives, Standard Financial Information System (SFIS), Business Enterprise Information System (BEIS), the Integrated Personnel Pay System-Army (IPPS-A), and Global Combat Service Support – Army (GCSS-A), GFEBS is expected to provide the nexus to achieve a clean audit report mandated by the Congress. Additionally, GFEBS consolidation will give the Army and Defense Department officials a view of how money is disbursed and will also feed vital, up-to the-minute information to senior civilian and Army leadership.

1.2.1. The GFEBS IT system provides Congressional overseers the level of financial accountability they need from the Defense Department, but also provides top-tier Army and DoD leadership with timely, accurate data enabling them to make sound business decisions in support of the America’s Warfighters. GFEBS will meet a host of requirements set forth by Congress and the Department by (reference paras 1.2.2 thru 1.2.5) below.

1.2.2. Following standards set in the Chief Financial Officers Act of 1990 and in the Federal Financial Management Improvement Act of 1996.

1.2.3. Conforming to the federal financial-management systems requirements identified by the Joint Financial Management Improvement Program (JFMIP).

1.2.4. Measuring up to all applicable accounting standards, including requirements of the U.S. Government Standard General Ledger (USGSGL) at the transaction level as set by Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-127.

1.2.5. Conforming to the Defense Department’s Business Enterprise Architecture to be in synch with the processes and systems of all DoD business domains.

1.2.6. In essence, GFEBS is the center console for accounting for all Army resources; flanked by supporting interfacing Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and non-ERP systems. GFEBS is a web-based system that allows the U.S. Army to share financial, real property plant and equipment and accounting data across the Service. With more than 30,000 end-users at nearly 200 Army financial centers around the world, GFEBS ultimately is one of the world’s largest enterprise system of record. GFEBS provides managers with greatly improved capability and a common operating picture to manage the cost, schedule and performance of Army-specific programs and at the same time, is the centerpiece (the tool) that enables the Army to achieve “full auditability” of financial statements. GFEBS has replaced scores of largely incompatible legacy accounting and financial management information systems, it will eventually house in excess of $100 billion of accountable transactions and real property assets—by the active Army, the Army National Guard and the Army Reserves.

1.3. Objectives: The FCS requires subject matter expertise to strategically integrate the concepts contained within ALM in all FCS curricula. This expertise will be the FCS' onsite resident expert for the application of ALM concepts and will facilitate bridging the gap between the traditional methods of training and the future methodologies using new technologies as they become available. The Contractor shall deliver plans/blueprints with multiple options on how the FCS should approach the application of ALM to an Actionable Training Strategy for the Army Finance and Comptroller School's training products, with a primary focus on GFEBS sustainment training. Analysis products will include requirements and implications of each of the domains within the DOTMLPF-P (Doctrine, Organization, Training, Materiel, Leadership, Personnel, Facilities and Policy) construct as appropriate. The strategic integrator is charged with developing innovative, integrated, resource-informed, and outcome-based plans and solutions for advancing the FCS training products to meet ALM 2015 to the greatest degree, yet within our expected means. By fully synchronizing the FCS training strategy with ALM, the FCS will achieve its objective of producing superbly trained, educated, adaptive and agile Military & Civilian FM Warriors. Key objectives to be addressed include:

· Modernize and modularize FC training IAW TRADOC Pam 525-8-2.

· Increase the flexibility of school programs to provide training for FC Soldiers, Civilians and teams when and where the need occurs, rather than when a course is scheduled.

· Develop computerized job aids where appropriate.

· Increase the quality and quantity, and variety of training products available for use by the Operating Force (e.g., WTSPs, ATPs).

· Ensure availability of training products to the FC community preparing to conduct operations, mobilizing and deploying.

· Synchronize FCS training strategy with ALM to produce superbly trained, educated, adaptive and agile Military & Civilian Warriors.

· Ensure ALM-integrated FCS curricula support Army FM Optimization (AFMO).

· Actively participate as a member of AFMO on behalf of the commandant and make recommendations that impact Doctrine, Organization, Training, Materiel, Leadership & Education, Personnel, Facilities and policy (DOTMLPF-p).

· Document (as needed) FCS strategy ISO AFMO and/or AOC 2025.

· Develop strategy and program of action and milestones for the update of 29 GFEBs dL products.

· Serves as a SME in updating dL products.

· Ensure ALM-integrated FCS curricula support Critical Task Site Selection Board (CTSSB) tasks.

· Actively participate as a member of USAFMCOM Business Process Development on behalf of the Deputy Assistant Secretary Army (Financial Operations (DASA-FO)).

· Represent the commandant and participate as a member of the Military Pay Transition Planning Team; document as necessary

· Document a strategy to transition commercial vendor service pay tasks and business process using a phased approach to Financial Management Support Units (FMSU) and Financial Management Support Detachments (FMSD)

· Monitor distributed Learning (dL) development completion of nine GFEBS online courses and deliver the associated STRATCOM for enterprise-wide release.
