Standard Procurement System (SPS)
Abstract
The Standard Procurement System (SPS) automates the contracting process from procurement request through award and administration, to final closeout. SPS accomplishes three main functions: contract placement, procurement, and contract administration. SPS has made significant strides towards transforming the way the Department of Defense (DoD) does business, and impacts the following critical DoD Business Value Added (BVA) outcomes: On Time Request, Cash-to-Cash, Urgent Requests, and Financial Transparency. SPS is currently supporting over 23,000 users in the field, including all Services and 17 other organizations and Agencies worldwide. SPS is fully aligned with the following President’s Management Agenda (PMA) initiatives: • Expanded Electronic Government - Advancing E-government strategy by supporting projects that offer performance gains across agency boundaries, such as e-procurement, e-grants, e-regulation and e-signatures. • Strategic Management of Human Capital - Supported through its web-accessible Knowledge Base that shares information throughout the DoD procurement community. • Competitive Sourcing - SPS utilizes a commercial software application as the basis for its automated system. • Improved Financial Performance - SPS automates the capture of contractual obligations and, through interfaces with DoD financial systems, provides improved visibility for funds tracking and enables more rapid release of excess funds. • Budget and Performance Integration - SPS performance criteria and monitoring mechanisms are put in place to measure contractor performance. The Milestone Decision Authority (MDA) memorandum dated 31 January 2007 stated SPS will not continue development or deploy SPS Version 4.2.3. The SPS program received an Acquisition Decision Memorandum (ADM) dated 7 August 2009 indicating SPS as fully deployed and in the Sustainment phase. Research Development Test & Evaluation funding for Fiscal Year 2010 and 2011 is in support of Product Sustainment.
