Description

NA HQ, Military Traffic Management Command (MTMC) intends to issue and RFP for a Defense Personal Property System (DPS). DPS will employ cutting edge technology and best practices to build a single, paperless DoD personal property program that integrates and automates all processes that support DoD??????s families?????? moves worldwide. DoD uses over 900 transportation providers (TP) for movement and storage services. Management of such a vast number of providers has resulted in complex processes to qualify TPs, solicit rates, distribute traffic, evaluate performance, pay bill and settle claims. MTMC currently operates one legacy information technology (IT) system to support management of these personal property shipments. The Transportation Operational Pe rsonal Property Standard system (TOPS) was developed to manage all DoD personal property movements. Over 200 Personal Property Shipping Offices currently utilize TOPS. MTMC is also currently developing the Centralized Web Application (CWA) as an interim web-based solution to integrate with TOPS to handle the automated approval of shipments and cost shipments using a Government rating engine. The CWA also interfaces with U.S. Bank??????s PowerTrack, a web-based commercial business-to-business payment syst em. MTMC is looking to replace TOPS and the CWA functionality with an end-to end, web-based solution. MTMC is seeking an independent organization to provide a commercial solution to meet MTMC??????s DPS requirements and then operate and maintain the serv ice for DoD. MTMC desires to maximize use of ??????best-of-breed?????? commercial software and limit customization to unique, unavoidable DoD requirements. MTMC generally desires to change business practices rather than customize the commercial solution. MTMC expects the final integrated services to be delivered 185 business days after performance start date; this includes meeting all security and accreditation requirements. The contractor will have the capability to (1) perform integration, testing, an d implementation parallel with continuing legacy system operations. (2) Host the service off-site at a third-party location, and (3) build upon DPS service capabilities by incorporating the functionality of selected systems into the DPS service in the futu re. The period of performance is expected to include a base period and nine 1-year option periods. This invitation to comment on the draft Statement of Work will be used for planning purposes only.
