- Description
- DeCA is currently using Traffic Management Information System (TRAMIS) to manage the transportation of grocery and office supplies from two Distribution Centers located in Germany to about 60 commissaries located in Germany, UK, Italy, Spain, Turkey, Egypt and Saudi Arabia. The TRAMIS software has reached the end of product lifecycle and DeCA is looking to replace it with a more robust and feature rich TMS solution that incorporates a Service Oriented Architecture. The TMS will include automated interfaces to Warehouse Management System (WMS) and PowerTrack (bill payment system). This software acquisition is in support of a DeCA mission essential system. The TMS will interface with WMS and an external financial system to improve the overall efficiency of the movement of goods from the distribution centers to the commissaries and process payments for services rendered. The TMS system to be implemented will conform to open standards and operate within a Service Oriented architecture. This will allow the system to be extended to other DeCA operating regions with different business operating procedures. DeCA will also be reviewing vendor proposals that offer TMS Software as a Service (SaaS) provided they meet all functional, technical and Information Assurance (IA) requirements and provide a better Return on Investment (ROI) than conventional software purchase and deploy option.

This RFI is issued for information and planning purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation.

In accordance with FAR 15.201(e), responses to this RFI are not offers and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. This RFI is issued for the purpose of seeking sources capable of meeting the requirements outlined in the attached Draft Statement of Work. Firms responding to the RFI should include a Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) price range estimate and a schedule for delivery.
