The contract management system must support the needs of the full acquisition life cycle from purchase request to solicitation/amendments; contract award and modification; issuing delivery orders and modifications to delivery orders; contract administration, simplified acquisitions and contract closeout. The contract management system may need to interface with Oracle Federal Financials and will interface with Federal Data Procurement System-Next Generation. The contract management system must have the capability to perform centralized collection and reporting of accurate and timely contract and financial data by contract line item and sub-line items with multiple appropriations. The contract management system must be fully capable of supporting approximately 150 users at multiple sites. The contract management system must support complex/hybrid contract types, complex funding and pricing arrangements and large numbers of contract modifications. It is requested that interested parties provide a capabilities package to include: 1) product descriptions/specifications that will provide a partial or complete solution, 2) prior/current experience providing contract management systems to the Department of Defense within the last three years, including contract number, organization supported, indication of whether performance was as a prime or subcontractor, contract value and a Government point of contact with current telephone number.
