D -- PAY AND PERSONNEL SYSTEMS, INDUSTRY SYMPOSIUM DUE 051597 POC Mr. Thomas K. Brust, Contracting Officer, 202-267-6450 E-MAIL: Click here to register to attend the Symposium, TBrust@comdt.uscg.mil. The U.S. Coast Guard is exploring possible replacement solutions for the Department of Transportation's civilian pay and personnel systems. As a part of this exploration, the Coast Guard intends to hold an Industry Symposium on June 3-5, 1997. The symposium will be held from 9:00 AM -- 4:00PM, each day in Room 2230 of the Department of Transportation's Nassif Building, 400 7th Street SW, Washington, D.C. 20590. A brief description of the project follows: Project Mission: To deliver an automated personnel, benefits, and payroll system for 15,000 civilian Department of Transportation (DOT) employees, with reporting capabilities for an additional 45,000 employees. The solution must support the following functions: collection of time worked/leave taken data and labor cost distribution; generation of requests for personnel actions; generation of training requests; processing of personnel actions; collecting employee benefit and withholding selections; calculating employee pay; and providing required interfaces to other Federal Agencies, such as, payment data to the Department of Treasury and employment data to the Office of Personnel Management. It would be beneficial for the solution to also support additional capabilities, such as, integration into the desktop platform; distributed access to data for processing and reporting, including the use of the Internet and Intranet capabilities; compatibility with applications that provide automated support for other Federal personnel processes, such as, applicant tracking, generation of vacancy announcements, and merit selection; and one-time entry of data. Objective of Industry Symposium: The project is in the process of assessing the various options for delivering a solution for DOT, through the purchase of a commercial off-the-shelf package, through the use of a commercial service bureau, through "cross-servicing" by another Federal agency, or through the integration of the previous alternatives. The purpose of the Industry Symposium is for the project team to obtain information from presenters supporting their approach, i.e., why COTS is superior to cross-servicing, or vice versa, or why a systems' integrator is vital. Since the objective of the project team is to evaluate the alternatives instead of focusing on a particular solution, the presenters are encouraged to minimize any product or enterprise specific information during the presentation. All information should be fully releasable outside of the Government as the attendees will be both Government and Industry. Presentations will be limited to forty-five minutes in length with an additional fifteen minute period for questions and answers. A list of specific topics the Coast Guard desires to be covered will be provided to presenting organizations in advance of the symposium. Organizations, both commercial and Government, desiring to make presentations at the symposium must submit a written request to present, to the Contracting Officer by May 15, 1997. Organizations desiring to attend, but not to present, must make written reservations with the Contracting Officer by May 23, 1997. (0108)
