- Support Services for Comprehensive Cost and Requirements (CCaR) System SOURCES SOUGHT SYNOPSIS (Not a Notice of Solicitation) This synopsis is issued to conduct market research for informational and planning purposes only. This market survey is conducted to identify potential sources capable of meeting the requirements of Aeronautical System Center, Comptroller Directorate (ASC/FM), located at Wright Patterson AFB, OH 45433. Services, detailed below, include providing a wide range of support related to the use, operation, training, maintenance and improvement of the CCaR application, in both Program Offices or Wings/Groups/Squadrons and at the Staff level. ASC utilizes the client-server and web versions of CCaR, so services required are applicable to both versions. Contractor support personnel are expected to be expert in all facets of CCaR functionality and operation. Contractor support personnel must also be familiar with the applications and systems with which CCaR interfaces. Contractor support personnel must demonstrate familiarity with: DFAS BQ and MOCAS systems, and Air Force CRIS, ConWrite + SMART systems. Contractor support personnel must be capable of teaching all aspects of CCaR utilization to all ASC personnel, with ability to recommend how CCaR should be employed to best support the unique mission requirements of every ASC office. Contractor support personnel must have a means of staying proficient with current CCaR functionality, which has three major releases every year and maintenance releases once a month. Responses must clearly address the ability to provide all services, identified below. Contractor support personnel must have knowledge in Air Force accounting + finance, financial management, contracts management and program management, to include knowledge of DOD?s Planning, Programming, Budgeting, Execution (PPBE) process and knowledge of Air Force Weapon System Acquisition process, as CCaR supports a significant number of acquisition and functional processes and products for both USAF and Foreign Military Sales. Contractor support personnel must have a current security clearance at the Secret level. ASC?s workload fluctuates over time and any responses must address the ability to respond in a reasonable amount of time to additional requirements for contractor support. Of particular importance, each response must clearly elucidate and expound upon the approach, technique and any ancillary relationships, contract agreements or vehicles, etc. which they have with Integrated Data Service (IDS). IDS is the developer of CCaRS, and currently provides both maintenance, change management, configuration control, design, development, testing and installation of the CCaR application, all CCaR modules, Looking Glass data warehouse for the client-server and web versions along with web part design, development and test and installation of production software products. Responses must clearly indicate how their employees acquire knowledge, skills, abilities and training on all CCaR applications and related products. Demonstration of a seamless process of working with IDS is paramount, as contractor support personnel have been and are expected to be, very knowledgeable and familiar with the CCaR application and related products. Specifically address how employees receive training initially and continually as major functionality releases occur three times a year. Specifically address how contractor support personnel will work with USAF and FMS customers in regards to problems, bugs, enhancements and in turn work with IDS for resolution to problems and bugs. Also address the process by which contractor support personnel will clearly communicate the functionality needs of their customers. Contractor support personnel will be involved with testing new functionality. Address the process by which prospective contractor support personnel are evaluated for having an affinity to grasp new concepts, new processes and new tools. Clearly demonstrate a seamless process between yourself and IDS which shows how the Air Force will not be responsible for managing the relationship between these parties in order to provide outstanding customer support, resulting in successful utilization of CCaR to support weapon system acquisition offices. Contractor support personnel must demonstrate an understanding of all functionality as documented in the CCaR users? manual. CCaR is a relational database application. Contractor support personnel must understand how relational databases function so they can properly configure and maintain the database front end through the Supervisor?s screen processes, and instruct their customers in the proper procedures for utilizing any of the functionality inherent in the database. Clearly demonstrate an understanding of the following CCaR functionality on the part of your company in general and specifically your employees, who would be providing CCaR support. Contractor support personnel need to understand the following functionality so they are the CCaR expert within their assigned office and have the ability to explain the functionality to their customers/CCaR users.
