- Description
- The Naval Facilities Engineering Command has a requirement for a replacement system to replace the current Naval Working Capital Fund (NWCF) Budget System, which includes interfaces with the Navy?s other financial systems. The Navy is soliciting information from interested parties that have the requisite technical capability to provide/develop the replacement system. It is requested that interested parties provide their interest and statement of technical capability by 4 December 2006, with a rough order of magnitude for the costs of the replacement system, but may exclude interfaces (and associated costs), which will be addressed in the solicitation expected to be issued by late spring 2007. The interested party may verify that the government has received the contractor submitted information by contacting Contract Specialist Naomi Melendez at telephone 202-685-8051. See the end of this announcement. Background: The Navy Working Capital Fund (NWCF) is a revolving fund, an account or fund that relies on sales revenue rather than direct Congressional appropriations to finance its operations. The basic concept of the working capital funds is quite simple. A cash account (corpus) is established and used to initially finance the costs of producing goods or services. The proceeds of the ?sale? are then re-deposited into the cash account and become available to finance additional goods and services. The intent of NWCF is to generate adequate revenue to cover the full costs of its operations, and to finance the fund?s continuing operations without fiscal year limitation. A revolving fund is intended to operate on a break-even basis over time; that is, it neither makes a profit nor incurs a loss. NWCF activities perform various functions, including supply management, depot maintenance, research and development, transportation, and base support. This is accomplished by identifying all costs associated with providing goods or services and establishing a ?rate? to charge the customer. Base Support is overseen by Facilities Engineering Commands (FECs) worldwide and includes the Public Works (PWs) and the Naval Facilities Engineering Service Center (NFESC). The PW business lines provide utilities services, facilities maintenance, and transportation support required by operating forces and other activities. NFESC provide specialized facilities, engineering, and technology support. Purpose: The purpose of publicizing notices for potential actions is to increase competition, to broaden industry participation in meeting Government requirements, and to determine the availability and functionality of a potential NWCF budgetary system to support the FECs. Mission: To provide single source of authoritative, relevant and accurate budget information. Objective: To provide a single integrated web based budget system for the modernization and upgrade of the budgetary information systems to improve analysis and decision support within NAVFAC applying the NWCF components (listed below) and to establish billing rates. NWCF Components (Functional): Budget Flow, Civilian Personnel Labor Process, Capital Procurement Program (CPP) and Depreciation Budget, Commodity Predetermined Budget, Reports (Output)/Navy Exhibits, Budget Startup, Internal Sales/Inter-Utility Transfers, Rate Setting and AOR Recovery, Expense, Overhead Budget & Flexibilities, Supporting Documents, Historical Data Trends, Budget Roll Up Levels, External/Internal Link Interfaces to include possible overseas links.
