Product Development
Abstract
The ACWS objective is to execute a strategy for the identification, procurement and deployment of the Army's single, next-generation, enterprise-wide contract writing, management, execution, and close-out software system that will meet the Army's current critical functional requirements and expand to meet future functional needs. The new capability is required to replace SPS, PADDS and VCE systems. The end state goal is to streamline contracting end-to-end business processes; reduce operating, maintenance and support costs; decrease and where applicable mitigate the complexity of existing and future interfaces; support financial auditability; and promote and improve efficiencies when integrating with existing ERP systems. An ACWS re-baseline and a new program office estimate were completed following an AAE-directed Red Team Review while ACWS was still an ACAT III program. The updated POE resulted in the program exceeding ACAT I funding thresholds. The new acquisition strategy for the ACAT IAM program was approved by the Army Acquisition Executive, and is pending approval by the Defense Acquisition Executive, who is now the Milestone Decision Authority for the program.
