Specifically, DeCA is seeking information from qualified industry partners regarding the ability to meet the following performance

objectives: • Legacy and Core Systems’ Environment. DeCA’s Headquarters at Fort Lee, VA, hosts various corporate and resource management applications on-premises using commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS), government-off-the-shelf (GOTS), in-house developed applications, and applications which are accessed from the approximately 5,500 Agency computers deployed world-wide. The systems are a collection of archaic programming languages (COBOL, AcuCOBOL, PL-SQL, SQL-Forms, etc.) and proprietary software tools (BARCODE - Ruediger Kerkloh, Ascheberg/Germany; apPopupMenu – APY Software; Wforms and MKeys – Mustow Software; Forms Electric – Visual Software). It consists of millions of lines of undocumented DeCA business processes that have been developed and refined over 25 years with more than 4000 processes custom coded in COBOL. • DeCA Interactive Business System (DIBS) is a legacy, mission essential, Government custom COBOL application for resale automated business system in use at the headquarters and all commissaries to handle ordering and receiving of commissary store products for resale; preparing and creation of financial transactions to debit and credit store accounts; and transmission of financial data to systems outside the agency for payment or collection. It has a number of subsystems: DeCA Overseas Ordering and Receiving System (DOORS), Frequent Delivery System (FDS), Direct Store Delivery (DSD), and Direct Store Delivery-Single order (DSD-S). DIBS interfaces with DeCA’s Enterprise Business Solution (EBS) / Advanced Retail Technology Suite (ARTS) and the other DeCA business legacy applications. There are two COTS software applications to support the COBOL code: AcuCOBOL, GLINK, and Oracle Database. The DIBS hosting platforms and operating systems are managed by DeCA’s Data Center Branch. • Standard Automated Voucher Examination System (SAVES) is a legacy, mission essential, Government custom COBOL GUI-based application that provides support for contracting and bill paying functions for DeCA commissaries (i.e. Groceries or resale items only) in the U.S., Guam, and Europe. SAVES processes receipts/invoices, credit memorandums, and overpayments and it creates the daily Ready to Pay file for disbursement processing. SAVES interfaces with DIBS. • DeCA Electronic Records Management and Archive System – Refresh (DERMAS-R) and Task Management System (TMS) are core systems used for Government records management and Government suspense management of official taskings. DERMAS-R is a DOD certified Records Management Application that enables DeCA personnel to electronically capture, archive, retrieve, and manage records in compliance with National Archives and Record Administration (NARA) regulations. The DERMAS-R COTS product enables users to access electronic documents using a web-based and desktop client interface across the enterprise. It provides an archival system for email records and interfaces with SharePoint, Files Shares, DeCA's EBS /ARTS, TMS, DIBS, and other DeCA internal systems for the purpose of archiving records in a DoD compliant records management repository. The DERMAS-R/TMS COTS software and maintenance is provided from a current COTS solution. • Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is a core mission essential system supporting DeCA by providing the capability to electronically order, receive and price grocery items with its vendors. DeCA’s EDI system is used to support the ordering and receipt of approximately 80% of the resale items for all DeCA commissaries and Central Distribution Centers. • Coupons 2000 (C2K) is a legacy Government Microsoft Access application with a Microsoft SQL database used to collect and reconcile coupon data. The application maintains DIBS store transmittals, INMAR Coupons Clearing House (CCH) audited transmittals by store, batch invoices, bank vouchers, and manufacturer data that identifies the manufacturer name and number. • DeCA Meat and Produce System (DMPS) is a pair of legacy Government Microsoft Access applications: one for meat and one for produce located at DeCA Headquarters and commissary stores. • The contractor shall provide all necessary personnel, supervision, management, and technical services needed to perform application software technical and operational support and system life cycle management services for DeCA’s legacy applications. • Project Management, Configuration Management and Technical Documentation • Operational Support and Sustainment, Cyber Security and Disaster Recovery • Enterprise Data Environment – Sustainment and Enhancement • Provide project management support to ensure the successful and timely completion of all tasks and
