- MARKET SURVEY N1022-10-0005 29 June 2010 From: COMSC N1022 Subject: Budget Preparation System for Military Sealift Command THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION ONLY AND YOUR RESPONSE IS NOT AN OFFER. THIS REQUEST FOR INFORMATION DOES NOT COMMIT THE GOVERNMENT TO PAY ANY COSTS INCURRED IN PREPARATION OF ANY SUBMISSION TO THIS MARKET SURVEY, OR TO CONTRACT FOR SERVICES. Military Sealift Command Technical Code N63 requests information regarding the availability of a replacement for the current Budget Preparation System, and requires a holistic view of a system, processes, technical specification, level of effort required, and summary cost forecasts for a proposed solution. MSC's N63 IT enterprise architecture is composed of multiple elements, at the forefront of which is an implementation of Oracle Federal Financials from the eBusiness suite of applications. MSC's current budget solution is a custom application that integrates into that environment. The MSC is unique because it has administrative responsibility to both the Department of the Navy (DON) and to USTRANSCOM. It therefore operates two separate Working Capital Fund (WCF) accounts - the Navy Working Capital Fund (NWCF) and the Transportation Working Capital Fund (TWCF), each of which is funded from revenue generated from its customers. MSC must submit separate budgets and fully recover costs for each WCF. MSC's customers pay for their services through daily ship per diem rates, which are calculated based on cost recovery and incorporation of prior year gains and losses, and through reimbursable charges. MSC sets the stabilized per diem rates each fiscal year during the budget cycle, and these rates last through the applicable execution year. This information is being requested as part of the ongoing commitment to provide the MSC with the best possible tools and processes that most closely align to strategic goals. The goal is to obtain one off the shelf software product which can meet the specifications/tasks in the attached spreadsheet. Interested parties shall furnish the following minimum information: a) Name of company; b) Telephone Number, Fax Number, Address, and e-mail address (if available); c) Background of company as it relates to this requirement. d) Completion of the attached spreadsheet. Detailed directions for filling out the table are as follows: Each numbered box describes the high level category of the requirement (both Functional and Technical) for the budget system. In the two boxes after the requirement, indicate whether the solution meets the requirements without customization or with customization. These are defined as follows: Out of the Box: the system and software only requires simple configuration to customize the system to meet business requirements with no extensive development. If this is true, mark with an ‘X' and fill out the "Description" field; Customization: the system requires some level of custom development of user interfaces, features or functionality, the purchase of additional system modules not included in the out-of-box version, or any other additional effort. If this is true, mark with an ‘X' and fill out the "Description" field; The response in the tables should clearly state the ability of the software solution to provide the capabilities described - both functional and technical. Ability should be addressed in terms of base functionality or ability to meet requirements if additional custom development (not just configuration) is needed. The point of contact for this action is Stefani Nick at (202) 685-5938. It is requested that the above information be provided no later than 20 July 2010. Responses should be faxed to (202) 685-5965 or emailed to Stefani.nick@navy.mil
