CON-IT

Abstract

The Contracting Information Technology (CON-IT) system replaces 10 aging legacy contract writing and management systems with a single contract management system to support the global Air Force mission. It will consolidate all contract writing, management, and reporting capabilities, as well as provide interoperability across all contracting communities (base operations, contingency operations, weapon systems, research and development (R&D), and logistics). Thus far, CON-IT has completed the first of 5 major capabilities, which modernized contract writing capabilities for base-level and operational users and replaced two of four contract writing systems. Deployed to over 4,164 users across 105 installations worldwide, CON-IT has awarded over 126,000 contract actions totaling 20B to date. The DAF is modernizing its contracting infrastructure with focus on 5 major capabilities: - Capability 1: Modernize contract writing for base-level and operational users, allowing the DAF's Standard Procurement System (SPS) and AFCENT's O'Contrax system to sunset - Capability 2: Modernize capability to meet the unique needs of the Weapon Systems, Research & Development, and Logistics communities, resulting in sunsetting ConWrite and Automated Contract Preparation System - Capabilities 3 and 4: automate pre/post award activities for the unclassified user base from Capabilities 1 and 2, respectively - Capability 5: Implement Capabilities 1-4 for classified users. CON-IT enables the Air Force to anticipate and respond to the changing pace and dynamic nature of processes, regulations, and technologies across the contracting domain. It empowers the contracting community to comply with financial auditability and Financial Improvement Audit Readiness (FIAR) goals. CON-IT supports performance of a full financial audit as required by title 10 U.S.C. Chapter 9A, Sec 240-D. This program element may include necessary emergent or unanticipated civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver CON-IT for emergent or unanticipated weapon system capability. The use of such programs funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605831F. In FY20 $0.000M was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, and in FY21 $0.000M is forecasted for civilian pay expenses in this program element. This effort is in Budget Activity 4, Advanced Component Development and Prototypes (ACD&P), because efforts are necessary to evaluate integrated technologies, representative modes or prototype systems in a high fidelity and realistic operating environment.
