- Description
- THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION NOTICE: This notice is issued for informational and planning purposes. The Air Force will not pay for any information submitted or be responsible for any costs incurred by interested parties in responding to this notice. The Air Force is conducting market research for US TRANSCOM Property, Plant and Equipment Data Cleansing for the Defense Enterprise Accounting and Management System to be performed at Scott AFB, IL and desires inut from industry to assist in requirements planning. The information requested by this notice will be used within the Air Force to facilitate the decision making process and will not be disclosed outside of the agency. The following are basic performance requirements for the requirement: The contractor shall develop and maintain a Property Plant and Equipment subsidiary to the general ledger and must be able to serve the needs of different community users. The subsidiary ledger records the acquisition cost of the property and/or net book value/fair market value for donated or transfer items. For capitalized property, the subsidiary ledger records the acquisition costs, net book value or fair market value of donated or transferred assets, the property's useful life, salvage value, and appropriate depreciation/ amortization method. In addition to the initial value, it also records capital improvements. Data cleansing. The contractor shall provide data validation and data cleansing efforts. The contractor shall identify data entities in the legacy system of record that should be cleaned before conversion takes place. This involves the reduction of redundant and erroneous records before the data is transferred. Documentation (original documents and/or hard and electronic copies of original documentation) shall be maintained in a readily available location, during the applicable retention period, to permit the validation of information pertaining to the asset such as the purchase cost, purchase date, and cost of improvements. Property records will be kept current and shall provide a complete trail of all transactions, suitable for audit, i.e., a transaction-based history of asset activity. A number of cleaning iterations may be required in order to significantly increase the quality of source data prior to conversion. Data Transformation. The contractor shall assist in evaluating options with the DEAMS System Integrator (SI) plans and procedures for data transformation. Data transformation involves any change in format, structure, or data elements based on business rules provided by the Government. This includes the enrichment of data by addition of any data or attributes that are not available in the subsidiary ledger but which are required for Oracle 11i. The reference tables to add this data will need to be provided along with the associated business rules. The contractor shall assist in the mapping of the source data into the target format necessary for acceptance by DEAMS. This would also include transforming data from a subsidiary ledger value to a new value that will be used in the DEAMS implementation of Oracle 11i. For example, the transformation from legacy to Standard Financial Information Structure (SFIS) line of accounting. Conversion. The contractor shall assist in evaluation options with the DEAMS System Integrator (SI) plans and procedures for data conversion of the subsidiary. The objective of the conversion effort is to populate the new Oracle 11i Project Accounting and Asset modules with all the data required to support the business processes and functionality of the particular release. The conversion will be executed in such a manner that converted data is accurate/complete and the system implementation timeframe is met. The contractor shall assist in evaluating the steps for data conversion execution. The subsidiary ledger is required before the test period and implementation of DEAMS. Once the data is loaded into Oracle 11i, it will be reconciled with the data in the legacy systems to ensure that the converted data is accurate and complete. Any problems or errors that are identified will be resolved. Business Process Reengineering (BPR). The contractor shall assist in evaluating the business process reengineering of PP&E business processes around the DEAMS solution. This shall include participation in Integrated Process Teams (IPT)?s and other activities and make recommendations relating to process improvement alternatives that are available through BPR and the use of the DEAMS Oracle product. The contractor shall assist in the review and evaluation of technical documents, strategies, and approaches related to the implementation of DEAMS. The contractor shall provide analysis and support related with the "as is" process and the "to be" process in technical configuration, technical environmental considerations, and performance projections related to various technical alternatives available through the implementation of the DEAMS Oracle solution.
