General Fund Enterprise Business System

Abstract

DV6 - General Fund Enterprise Business System-Sensitive Activities (GFEBS-SA): GFEBS-SA is a designated National Security System (NSS) leveraging the GFEBS base system as the Army's core financial management system certified by the Chief Financial Officers Council. To protect sensitive information and enable clean auditability, the Army requires a separate instance of GFEBS operated on a secure network for processing sensitive and classified financial transactions that cannot be processed in the fully-fielded GFEBS base system without compromising classified information or missions, or endangering soldiers. Therefore, GFEBS-SA is an essential financial program designed to enable the auditability that is needed to comply with the Chief Financial Officers (CFO) Act, the Federal Financial Management Improvement Act (FFMIA), and prevent compromise of data that could cause grave harm to U.S. forces. GFEBS-SA is envisioned as a fully functional GFEBS application operated on a Secure Internet Protocol Router Network (SIPR), leveraging off of the sustained system design while providing additional implementation that includes additional requirements designed to protect sensitive intelligence operations and special operations missions. It processes Secret Collateral and below information while providing GFEBS capabilities such as distribution and execution of appropriated funds, cost management, financial reporting, and asset management. GFEBS-SA will be implemented and deployed to 3,000 users across 150 locations worldwide. GFEBS-SA supports information exchanges with organizations that support the Army's sensitive activities mission, including cross-security domain integration between Secure Internet Protocol Router Network (SIPR) and Non-Classify Internet Protocol Router Network (NIPR) with GFEBS and other system partners. Services are capable of being upgraded throughout the life of the program in order to incorporate advances in best business practices and technology, and will modify capability to maintain a synchronized software baseline with the GFEBS base system to maintain efficiencies in capability enhancements, training documentation, and sustainment support. GFEBS-SA system reached Full Deployment in FY21. The fiscal year (FY) 2022 Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDTE) funding requested will complete system upgrades and enhancements, which will re-synchronize the system baseline with the GFEBS base system to account for any capability upgrades that were made to the base system while GFEBS-SA was in development. Both GFEBS and GFEBS-SA must remain consistent.
