Personnel Database Replacement

Added: Jul 01, 2008 3:26 pm

The 6th Contracting Squadron (6 CONS) is seeking qualified SDVOSB sources that can provide an existing Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) data management system with modifications to replace and expand the current personnel database for Joint Communications Support Element (JCSE). JCSE needs a complete database replacement designated JCSE Enhanced Data (JED), which will consolidate all personnel human resources information and business process management systems. The system must be accessible and wholly operational on the SIPR and NIPR networks, as well as manage personnel supporting Special Access Programs (SAP) which operate on an enclave of the Department of Defense SIPRnet network. Should a contract arise from this requirement, it would likely involve a base year with options of continued support once the system is implemented, along the lines of a software maintenance package to include upgrades. Additional specific knowledge and experience requirements include:

• The project lead and business process analysts on the development team will need to have a current SECRET security clearance.

• Knowledge and familiarity with Army, Navy, Marine Corps or Air Force personnel operations, security operations, regulations, and database systems.

• Previous experience customizing and integrating automation systems for one of the major DOD services utilizing Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) platforms such as PeopleSoft or Microsoft Dynamics Customer Relationship Management / Great Plains.

• Windows 2003 / XP Client and Server Operation Systems, and their development ramifications.

• Experience writing database applications that integrate into Microsoft SharePoint 2003 and 2007 versions as web parts.

• Experience implementing and integrating MOSS 2007 workflow.

• Create, modify, and maintain application interfaces to relational databases for both in-garrison use and deployed use.

• Integration of ERP applications with the Microsoft suite of Office Products (Office 2003 through 2007).

• Installation, configuration, and utilization of the most current version of Microsoft IIS.

• Use of AJAX / ATLAS / DHTML technologies to minimize user-interface rendering time on high-latency networks.

• Extensive experience in data migration and transformation from legacy systems to new database schema.
