Question Government Response

1 Section

1.1.18

Key Personnel Would the Government consider removing the FoxPro and Oracle Key requirements from the Senior Program

Manager and Systems Analyst

– Senior positions as both positions are more managerial and functional in nature?

Since both the Program

Manager and Systems Analyst

- Senior require PMPs, FoxPro, and Oracle Key, the task to source these individuals with the correct credentials (all 3 listed above) is proving challenging and would appear to favor the

Incumbent or possibly conflict with Section 1.6.20

ORGANIZATIONAL

CONFLICT OF INTEREST

SPECIFICS.

The Government will not remove the Fox Pro and

Oracle Key requirements form the Senior Program

Manager and Systems

Analyst- Senior positions.

FoxPro is the tool used by the ASIP to Extract, Translate and Load data from other source systems feeding into the ASIP.

Oracle is the platform that the ASIP runs on. Due to the complexity of the ASIP and its internal working and integrating data from multiple highly complex systems at the HQDA level, the government requires these key positions and qualifications to meet this requirement. The ASIP data is used by Senior

Department of Defense and

Army Leaders in congressional testimony, data is also passed directly to Congress, Department of

Defense, Army Staff, State

Department and other high level agencies. ACSIM relies on the Senior

Program Manager and the

System Analyst Senior to ensure the accuracy of the data provided and the applications and processes used to develop the data.

Even though these positions have managerial/functional responsibilities, they have technical involvement and oversight. It should also be noted that FoxPro and

Oracle Key are commercially available software

3 Section

1.6.22

Transition Option

Period/Section

1.6.22.1 regarding

Phase - In/Out

Would the Government consider a 60 day transition given the monthly and quarterly updates along with the “new” efforts mentioned in

Sections 5.10 – 5.13 of the

PWS? This would help in the case that the new contract begins in the middle of an update cycle.

The first quarterly update for the new contract occurs on 31 Jul 17; the new contract begins on 15 Jul

17, this allows two weeks for the new Contractor to work with the incumbent

IRT how the quarterly update occurs. We would consider granting an additional 30 days to the transition period, pending approval from OACSIM

Leadership, MICC-FSH., and the willingness of incumbent to perform beyond current phase-in/phase-out requirements.
