The contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract. Background: In 1990 the Federal government issued a Congressional mandate, the Chief Financial Officers Act, ordering Federal agencies to centralize their finance systems to better account for their spending. In 1996, the government issued the Federal Financial Management Improvement Act (FFMIA), enabling the advancement of Federal financial management by requiring that Federal financial management systems provide accurate, reliable, and timely financial management information to the government's managers. The General Fund Enterprise Business System (GFEBS) is the Army's financial information technology (IT) system response to these mandates, which is in concert with the DoD's Business Transformation Agency (BTA). GFEBS, consolidates several accounting and financial management systems. When coupled with the Army's Logistic Management Program (LMP) and integrated into BTA's enterprise initiatives, Standard Financial Information System (SFIS), Business Enterprise Information System (BEIS) and the Integrated Personnel Pay System-Army (IPPS-A), GFEBS is expected to provide the nexus to achieve a clean audit report mandated by the Congress. Additionally, GFEBS consolidation will give the Army and Defense Department officials a view of how money is disbursed and will also feed vital, up-to the-minute information to senior civilian and Army leadership. This is a follow-on requirement currently awarded under contract number W9124C-14-C-0015. Objective: The FMS requires subject matter expertise to strategically integrate the concepts contained within ALM in all FMS curricula. This expertise will be the FMS' onsite resident expert for the application of ALM concepts and will facilitate bridging the gap between the traditional methods of training and the future methodologies using new technologies as they become available. The Contractor shall deliver plans/blueprints with multiple options on how the FMS should approach the application of ALM to an Actionable Training Strategy for the Army Financial Management School's training products, with a primary focus on GFEBS sustainment training. Analysis products will include requirements and implications of each of the domains within the DOTMLPF-P (Doctrine, Organization, Training, Materiel, Leadership, Personnel, Facilities and Policy) construct as appropriate. The strategic integrator is charged with developing innovative, integrated, resource-informed, and outcome-based plans and solutions for advancing the FMS training products to meet ALM 2015 to the greatest degree, yet within our expected means. By fully synchronizing the FMS training strategy with ALM, the FMS will achieve its objective of producing superbly trained, educated, adaptive and agile Military & Civilian FM Warriors.
