The Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center, San Diego (SSC-SD) is interested in applying best commercial practices to its business operations for the purposes of reducing cost and improving its core business processes: Program Management, Strategic Planning, Budgeting and Accounting, Procurement Management and Asset Management. Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) has been heralded as a tool used by industry to accomplish this. SSC-SD desires to work with all ERP vendors who are GSA Scheduled and Federal Financial Qualified, to formulate an SSC-SD implementable ERP solution, that is economically viable, and potentially transferable, to other Navy WCF organizations. This is a Request for Information (RFI) and no contract will be awarded pursuant to this announcement. There is no bid package or solicitation document associated with this announcement. This RFI is for planning purposes and to provide SSC-SD with sufficient information and data to formulate an ERP configuration that meets the business requirements. This RFI does not constitute a commitment, implied or otherwise, that a procurement will be issued. However, SSC-SD and the Navy will utilize the information for technical and acquisition planning. Subsequent acquisitions may follow, in the ways, which best meet Navy needs. The government invites comments and interested parties to submit their indication of interest, along with any documentation deemed necessary. Interested firms will be invited to do a presentation of their potential ERP solution that demonstrates the 5 core business processes identified above. All data received in response to this RFI marked or designated as corporate or proprietary information will be fully protected from release outside the government.
