- Description
- The contractor shall develop an automated CPA system for USTRANSCOM, Command, Control, Communications and Computer Systems Directorate (TCJ6), the CPA program at Scott AFB, IL. The contractor shall provide business process analysis, software development, documentation, and support. This contract will allow USTRANSCOM to begin fulfilling its mission to automate for the customs and border clearance process. The general scope of the contract is to provide functional analysis support, system/software engineering, and software application support required for the development of new functional capabilities and the expansion of existing capabilities currently available on two prototype software applications. The CPA program goal is to satisfy customs clearance requirements for all DOD shipments around the world with a single Automated Data Processing (ADP) system. Currently there are two prototype applications operating, one in Germany and one in Korea. The contractor shall create a single system that has the existing prototypes capabilities, identified requirements, and implementation for each of the 18 countries. The CPA system shall provide a series of flexible alternatives for creating and transferring customs clearance information for multiple countries. It shall provide a seamless system for creating, populating and transmitting customs and related shipping documentation, while maintaining continuous visibility of the customs/border clearance process. Additionally, the CPA system shall provide metrics that will allow USTRANSCOM, regional Combatant Commands, Services and Defense Agencies the means to identify problem areas in documentation, shipment processing and policy guidance. The end state of the CPA program will provide DOD the capability to provide electronic files in a format agreeable to the individual host nation foreign countries that can be used to identify DOD shipments for customs clearance purposes and will provide the necessary data to allow those shipments duty-free entry as provide for by the specific Status of Forces Agreements (SOFA) for each individual country. The CPA system shall strive to meet the above goal for the following countries: Republic of Korea, Germany, Italy, Japan, United Kingdom, Spain, Bahrain, Kuwait, Canada, Afghanistan, Bosnia/Herzegovina, Diego Garcia, Iceland, Iraq, Netherlands, Turkey, Oman, and Saudi Arabia. The CPA system shall provided electronic files that will be used to generate customs clearance documentation in an electronic format. The formats and language shall vary by destination host country to satisfy its requirements. The system shall push clearance information to US customs clearance officers, foreign customs authorities and commercial and military carriers as required by the operating environment in the host country. In those cases where shipments arrive in the host country without advance data, the system shall provide the capability to produce customs clearance documentation using data input by the carrier and/or consignee. For those countries that cannot participate in full automation, the system shall provide the host nation with printed forms as required. In addition, the system shall provide status, conduct surveillance, and measure performance.
