- Description
- The Joint Transportation Management System (JTMS) will drive Department-wide business reform by integrating transportation and financial processes at the transaction level to optimize transportation and financial management of the Transportation of Things. Other benefits include improving auditability and eliminating many existing transportation-related applications. (Please see attachment ""JTMS Background"" for more details.) Mission Statement:�Provide the Department of Defense (DoD) with innovative, integrated transportation and financial management solutions leveraging process improvements and proven technologies supporting national objectives to achieve transportation financial auditability. Vision Statement:�A fielded Joint Deployment and Distribution Enterprise (JDDE) solution, which integrates end-to-end transportation and financial processes to achieve auditability, transparency, and optimized resource allocation providing warfighter competitive advantage.

The strategic-level BPR work will be awarded and will begin while USTRANSCOM plans for the JTMS implementation effort. While this effort focuses on the �As-Is� and strategic level reengineering, BPR efforts will continue under the future JTMS implementation contract. Please see SAM.gov post HTC71123QD033 for details pertaining to the anticipated acquisition strategy of this preliminary BPR procurement. _____________________________________________________________________________ 21 July 2023 Update As the Government works to fully prepare for the implementation of a Joint Deployment and Distribution Enterprise (JDDE) wide Joint Transportation Management System (JTMS), the program has several ongoing actions: The Joint Program Office (JPO) is continuing to work with JDDE stakeholders to thoroughly define the as-is business processes, systems, interfaces, and data through development of enterprise architecture.� The JPO is defining as-is processes in an incremental approach across the various lines of business (e.g., Airlift, Sealift, Freight). In June 2023, the JTMS program was granted approval to enter the Functional Requirements and Acquisition Planning Phase in accordance with DoDI 5000.75, Business Capability Acquisition Cycle (BCAC). The JTMS program has initiated efforts to begin Business Process Reengineering (BPR) activities and awarded an IDIQ in July 2023 to CeLeen, LLC. The BPR work will follow in an incremental approach similar to that of the enterprise architecture work, utilizing the developed architecture models to fully understand, analyze, and reengineer existing processes in a system agnostic approach. BPR work from a design and development standpoint will continue under the future JTMS implementation contract. Acquisition and Consultant support for the JPO was awarded in July 2023 to RevTek Solutions, LLC. The work under this effort will support the JPO in developing critical documents as we continue through the BCAC phase(s) in accordance with DoDI 5000.75. With these on-going efforts in support of the JTMS program and eventual implementation contract, USTRANSCOM is providing the following notional* dates regarding the implementation contract: Draft Solicitation Release (Initial):� 31 July - 04 August 2023 Industry Feedback/ Comments Due:� 21 August 2023 Draft Solicitation (Round 2): 30 August 2023 Industry Feedback/Comments Due:� 15 September 2023 The Government will utilize industry feedback to further develop the JTMS implementation acquisition plan and finalize market research efforts.� Prior to releasing the final solicitation, the Government will require approval from the Milestone Decision Authority (MDA) to enter the Acquisition Phase of the BCAC process.
