USTRANSCOM Reference Data Management

TRDM is the USTRANSCOM tool used to manage enterprise reference data. The tool is owned by the Government and maintained and modernized, as necessary, by the Contractor. TRDM includes data from the former Table Management Distribution System (TMDS), which managed Air Mobility Command (AMC) reference data. The majority of this data has since transitioned to TRDM and remaining tables and interfaces associated with TMDS are being migrated to TRDM. The reference data management process is consistent with the Information Reference Model (IRM) manual as published by USTRANSCOM/J6. The TRDM Program Management Office (PMO) is responsible for providing and interpreting USTRANSCOM policy as it applies to TRDM. This contract will combine the maintenance of the reference tables, design and implementation of new capabilities, to include the expansion of the Real Property Unique Identifier Registry (RPUIR) capability to become the information management system (Project Alpha) supporting OSD (I&E) Business Enterprise Integration office Real Property Inventory Reporting (RPIR) and Enterprise Energy Information Management (EEIM) requirements. In FY2003, the Installations & Environment (I&E) Domain partnered with the Military Services, Defense Agencies, and other Business Management Modernization Program (BMMP) Business Mission Areas (BMAs) to transform or reengineer business processes for the accountability of real property. The goal was, and still is, the availability of reliable, timely, and useful real property asset information to support functional analysis and decision making as well as financial reporting. Inter-Agency and Cross-Service work groups were established to identify the data elements and to analyze and resolve process issues. The results were approved in January 2005 as the RPIR document. The long term goal is to expand the current functions of the RPUIR by incorporating the full Real Property Information Model (RPIM). Real Property Unique Identifiers (RPUIDs) will continue to be implemented for the nearly 1 million global site and real property assets and the Alpha system will continue to act as the centralized data source for RPUIDs both for initial assignment of new RPUIDs and for lookup of existing RPUIDs. The DUSD (I&E) convened a working group to standardize energy information and business processes utilizing existing enterprise information to the extent possible. The standard data elements that the working group developed became the Enterprise Energy Information Management (EEIM) model. As incorporated within the Alpha System, EEIM will provide net-centric energy data access services and an energy data warehouse that will provide a consolidated view of timely, reliable energy information for use in measuring, managing and reporting DoD energy consumption, conservation, and renewable energy production information. DoD's facility energy vision is to use integrated processes and a standard data structure to collect facility energy consumption, renewable energy generation, and energy efficiency project data. This integrated information structure will facilitate trend analysis, performance comparison, and efficiency improvement across facilities and DoD Components. The Contractor shall provide continuing on-site support services contributing directly to the management of reference data for USTRANSCOM, its Transportation Component Commands: AMC, Military Sealift Command (MSC), Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command (SDDC), and other Department of Defense (DoD) communities. DoD is subject to extensive energy reporting requirements that impose a growing burden on DoD personnel to collect, analyze, package, and transmit energy data. DoD currently does not have standardized enterprise facility energy information, nor does it have enterprise-wide information technology systems to support facility energy management. This lack of standardization requires energy managers and other personnel to manually collect, transform, and reformat data to meet separate data calls. This highly inefficient atmosphere leaves energy managers with little time to manage facility energy consumption, or to focus on ways to improve facility energy efficiency.
