CON-IT System Development

Abstract

CON-IT development is accomplished using agile software development practices to build upon a Government-off-the-Shelf contract management system to replace four legacy contract writing systems and multiple support systems. Development efforts are phased into eight major capabilities according to the requirements of each contracting community. This enables phased transitions from the various legacy systems to CON-IT. Thus far, the DAF completed Capabilities 1, 2, and 4 and deployed CON-IT to the operational/installation and contingency contracting communities. Capabilities are fielded utilizing the Minimum Viable Product (MVP) concept for each user group. The MVP contains the minimum set of requirements users need to complete their mission. The deployed MVP is then continually enhanced and refined in future capability releases. Capability 4, BI, impacts all contracting communities. Consistent CLIN-level data collection increased BI capability resulting in a DAF Acquisition Excellence Award. The BI MVP was delivered in FY23, and future enhancements will be delivered as identified. Capabilities 3 and 5 are in work. In FY23 the DAF delivered CON-IT to 733 ConWrite limited deployment and 73 ACPS users via swivel chair integration, in which both new and legacy systems are used concurrently. This brought the total number of active users to 5,620. Additional users will be added as capabilities are developed, including Weapon System and Classified users in FY24.
