PIEE (Performance Integrated Evaluation Environment)

What is PIEE (Performance Integrated Evaluation Environment)?

The Performance Integrated Evaluation Environment (PIEE) is the Department of Defense's (DoD) enterprise-wide platform for single sign-on and access to various procurement-related systems and applications. PIEE simplifies the process for contractors and government personnel to access tools required for contract execution and management. Think of it as the central hub connecting you to many different DoD applications, each serving different functions.

Definition

PIEE serves as the primary access point for many DoD procurement and financial systems, replacing multiple legacy systems with a unified platform. It is the authoritative source for user roles and access permissions for many critical applications, integrating identity management, authorization, and application access into a single environment. The legal and regulatory basis for PIEE stems from DoD directives aimed at streamlining business processes, enhancing cybersecurity, and improving contractor and government user experience. PIEE matters to government contractors because it is essential for performing tasks such as submitting invoices through Wide Area WorkFlow (WAWF, now known as Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE) e-Business Suite (ebs)), managing contracts, and accessing other vital procurement-related information. Without proper PIEE access and understanding, contractors can face delays in payment and difficulties managing their government contracts.

Key Points

• Single Sign-On: PIEE enables users to access multiple applications with a single set of credentials, simplifying the login process and reducing the need for multiple passwords.
• Role-Based Access: Access to applications within PIEE is determined by user roles, ensuring that individuals only have access to the systems and data required for their specific job functions.
• Security: PIEE is designed with robust security measures to protect sensitive government information and comply with cybersecurity standards. It mandates the use of Common Access Cards (CACs) for authentication.
• Integration: PIEE integrates various DoD procurement and financial systems, providing a more streamlined and efficient user experience compared to legacy systems.

Practical Examples

1. Invoice Submission: A contractor needing to submit an invoice for services rendered under a DoD contract will use PIEE to access the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE) e-Business Suite (ebs), formerly known as WAWF, to electronically submit the invoice and supporting documentation.
2. Contract Modification Management: A contract administrator requiring access to a contract to process a modification will log into PIEE, navigate to the relevant contract management application, and use their authorized role to make the necessary changes.
3. Security Incident Reporting: In the event of a security incident involving Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), a contractor would use PIEE to access required reporting tools and comply with DoD cybersecurity protocols.
