Commanders' Resource Integration System (CRIS)

Acquisition Description: Headquarters Air Force Materiel Command (HQ AFMC), Electronic Systems Center (ESC), Legacy Financial Systems Branch (ESC/HIBQ) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Dayton, OH is contemplating a small business set-aside acquisition to provide maintenance and sustainment for the Commanders' Resource Integration System (CRIS). CRIS is an enterprise-level service providing financial management decision support and data analysis to Air Force decision makers and managers and is the Authoritative Data Source (ADS) for all of the AF FM unclassified appropriated historical data. CRIS has a user base of 14,000 planners, budget analysts and program managers geographically scattered across the United States and across the world. Sustainment of CRIS includes enhancements to the current application, tier 3 Help Desk support, and development and delivery of training. The CRIS program facilitates decision making within the Air Force by providing visibility into worldwide supply and financial execution (to the individual transaction level) on a near real-time basis. CRIS is hosted in a cross-functional relational data warehouse and focuses on Secretary of the Air Force (SAF), Headquarters Air Force (HAF), command-level and base-level Financial Management (FM), Directorate of Operations (DO), and Directorate of Logistics (A4) reporting functions. A system configuration has been established that integrates Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) software components (e.g., Microsoft SQL Server 2008R2, .NET). The CRIS production hardware is located at the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) Defense Enterprise Computing Centers (DECC), Ogden, Utah, and is populated by standard systems, to include: Standard Base-level Supply System (SBSS), Fuels Enterprise System (FES), General Accounting and Finance System Base Level and Rehost (GAFS-BL and GAFS-R), Automated Funds Management (AFM), Program and Budget Accounting System (PBAS), Reliability and Maintainability Information System (REMIS), Civilian Pay, Civilian Personnel, and Reserve Pay. Near real-time information stored in the data warehouse includes: fuel issues, flying sortie data, repairable item transactions, flying supplies consumption, flying hours, Program Summary Record (PSR), Document Summary Record (DSR), Selective Transactional History (STH), and civilian and reserve personnel and pay. CRIS is available to users via web access 24 hours per day 7 days a week for worldwide operations. This market research will focus on information technology (IT) companies that have experience in successfully developing, deploying, and sustaining legacy financial information systems, experience developing and sustaining Windows Web-based applications of similar size and complexity. ?
