V -- DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE REENGINEER TRAVEL POC Mrs. Claudia Hickey (703) 614-9148 NOTE: THIS DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A SOLICITATION. The Deputy Secretary of Defense has directed rapid implementation contained within the January 1995 Report of the Department of Defense (DoD) Task Force to Reengineer Travel, toinclude streamlining the DoD infrastructure and exploiting the private sector capabilities. The Temporary Duty (TDY) Travel Concept of Operations includes maintenance and operation of a full service travel entity capable of providing reservations and ticketing for transportation, travel service, rental vehicles, hotel, motel, and passport services, and for availability notices and reservations for government quarters and feeding facilities, and for a ''should cost'' estimate for each proposed government travel requirement. This information is to be provided through integration of DoD travel and transportation entitlements and locality per diem rates into a single continuous data flow. Any software must interface with commercial travel office reservation systems and must have capabilities to store and access DoD transportation, lodging, and feeding policies. It must provide a variety of management information reports as decision tools, including information for local management of travel budgets. The system must be capable of interfacing with government transportation and billeting reservations systems. It must contain logic to allow computation of travel entitlements for privately owned vehicle travel and identify the number of travel days authorized, based on distance traveled, and compare costs mode-to-mode. Payment for travel services will be through use of a government travel card and/or electronic funds transfer (EFT) or centrally billed accounting practices. Target system is single source data entry with totally paperless processes containing embedded policy compliance checks and internal controls. It must allow DoD organizations to access data and extract specific information. The following will remain a government function: authorizing expenses, approving expenses, final accounting, and random audit. Industry sources are sought to provide DoD with demonstrations of their available products, services, or methods, described in their commercial information and/or literature which provide the capabilities described in the Concept of Operations, above. Interested vendors should provide (1) commercial information and/or literature, which specifies how their products, services, or methods meet all or part of the Concept of Operations, above, (2) notice of availability to provide demonstrations to DoD of their products, services, or methods which they consider to meet all or part of the Concept of Operations, above (3) describe whether such demonstration is portable, and able to be demonstrated at the organizational level, (4) describe what management information service requirement are necessary on which to operate or view such demonstration, (5) describe whether one demonstration could be made, or whether numerous demonstrations may be made, and (6) describe whether such demonstration are available without cost to DoD, or if costs will be charged, identify the total costs to be charged DoD for providing such demonstrations. Responses should reference this notice and should be forwarded by July 15, 1995 to the DoD Travel Reengineering Transition Team, address as indicated below. If interested sources wish to comment on their responses after July 15, 1995, additional comments will be accepted. Furthermore, industry sources are notified of the creation of an electronic bulletin board on the Internet, using File Transfer Protocol (FTP). FTP capabilities are necessary to access this bulletin board. It will be the DoD's main means of exchanging information regarding the acquisition to accomplish the TDY Travel Concept of Operations. In the future, all correspondence will be disseminated by means of this bulletin board. The initial entries, coincidental to this notice, contain (1) the questions and answers to the ''Sources Sought'' Conference, which occurred on April 26, 1995 (Q&A426), and (2) the DoD TDY Travel Concept of Operations (ConOps), with explanatory terms. Bulletin board entries will remain on-line for thirty (30) days. Industry sources are advised that they are responsible for checking this bulletin board periodically to see if any new information has been entered by DoD. This bulletin board is accessed as follows: address is FTP 192.86.93.250, user log-in name is ''anonymous'', user password is the user's E-Mail address, user must change directory to ''outbound/GTRAVEL,'' user must select from and copy files ''README.TXT,'' ''Q&A426.RTF,'' ''CONOPS.RTF,'' ''TABLE.RTF,'' ''FLOWCH.VSD,'' and ''ATTEND.RTF.'' For small business sources without FTP capabilities, hard copy requests will be accommodated; requests must include the criteria by which the source meets small business qualifications. Requests should reference this notice and should be forwarded to the DoD Travel Reengineering Transition Team. Address for the DoD Travel Transition Team is: USD(C)PMR, Attn: Mrs. Claudia Hickey, Room 1B650, The Pentagon, Washington DC 20301-1100, FAX (703) 614-2277. No telephone comments will be accepted. Please note this does not constitute a solicitation. (0181)
