Description

The Office Personnel Management's launched its HRLOB initiative in 2004 to support the vision articulated in the President's Management Agenda. The HRLOB is expected to help the Federal Government realize the potential of electronic Government by transforming the delivery of human resources services. Through the HRLOB, VA will have an opportunity to move towards compliance with this federally-mandated Initiative and improve human capital management through recruitment, hiring, and retention efforts; and invest in workforce development in a way that supports fulfillment of our commitment to Veterans and their families. Accepting this charge, the Office of Human Resources and Administration (HRA) Human Resources Line of Business (HR LOB) was launched in Fiscal Year (FY) 2011 to transform delivery of Department-wide human resources (HR) services through the implementation of a new Human Resources Information System (HRIS), HRoSmart. The HRIS will replace VA's 50 year old Personnel Accounting and Integrated Data (PAID) system and provide significant upgrades such as (1) eliminating manual transactions and paper driven processes by allowing VA employees, HR, and managers to access a common system for all HR transactions in self-service tools; (2) standardizing delivery of processing personnel, benefits, compensation actions; and (3) increasing VA's effectiveness and productivity to streamline HR processes that support and track Title 5 and Title 38 populations. The HRIS implementation will directly impact 300,000+ VA employees. In order to meet its transformation objectives the VA HR LOB contracted services from an approved private sector shared service center (SSC) provider. Transitioning HRIS operations and services to a SSC will enable VA to transform HR services from transactional-base to more strategic-based activities. Additionally, VA HR LOB, in partnership with the Office of Information and Technology (OIT), is in the second year of managing a $123M HRIS SSC Migration Project to oversee development, change management, implementation, and transition to Operations and Maintenance (O&M). The following five phases encompass the migration project: "Assess Phase - The VA envisions how it can best deliver HR services to support the mission and develop the business case for change. This phase is complete. "Define Phase - The VA develops detailed requirements that will be a basis for provider selection. This phase is complete. "Select Phase - VA selects a provider and negotiates the partnership, including service level expectations. This phase is complete. "Migrate Phase - The VA and provider work together to move selected operations from the agency to the service center. This phase is currently in progress through FY 2015. "Operate and Improve Phase - Performance results are used to identify opportunities for improvement. This phase is planned for entry in FY 2015/2016. Any contract resulting from this requirement will include the Migrate Phase and the Operate and Improve Phase. THERE IS NO SOLICITATION AT THIS TIME.
