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 a fully functional GFEBS application operated on the Secure Internet Protocol Router Network (SIPR), leveraging the GFEBS base system design while employing additional security features 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 is fully 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 the 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. GFEBS and GFEBS-SA must remain synchronized. FY 2023 RDTE funds will be utilized to conduct system enhancements to meet OSD and Army data exchange and interface requirements. The additional capability will support both compliancy to meet audit requirements and updated interfaces to replace sun-setting systems.
