SCOPE The Rapid Equipping Force (REF) is an agile unit with growing communications and workplace collaboration needs. The REF requires an electronic signing capability to support the growth and expansion of a formal Enterprise Management System on NIPRNet. The REF, as a sub-organization under Headquarters Department of the Army G3/5/7 requires an e-signature capability that is compatible with and integrates into existing software residing in the Army's Theater Ammunition Management Information System (TAMIS). This requirement is to procure hardware, software, and licenses and customization of a web-based business process capability which will allow the use of Common Access Card (CAC)-authentication based digital signatures on both Apple and Microsoft based hardware, including, but not limited to, Mac Books, iPAD, laptop and desktop Microsoft computers. This effort will deliver improved information sharing process among team members and leadership by providing enhanced infrastructure capabilities across the REF so that Warfighters and business stewards can act quickly and decisively. 2. BASIC e-SIGN REQUIREMENTS The contractor shall provide all additional or upgraded software and services, not resident in the TAMIS, required for installation, customization, and automation of REF unclassified business processes including acquisition documentation, allowing mobile e-signature capability with an estimated 5,000 e-signatures capacity annually. The e-signature capability will enable the REF team members and leadership to e-sign authoritative Adobe and Lotus Notes-derived electronic documents that support REF business processes. The vendor shall provide an automated solution that shall allow REF users to remotely sign Adobe and Lotus Notes-derived electronic files utilizing Apple- and Microsoft-based platforms, including MacBook Pro notebook computers, Apple iPad tablet version 1.0 and higher, Microsoft OS laptop and desktop systems. The web-based solution should be compatible with Internet Explorer version 7.0 and higher and Apple Safari. The contractor shall provide required DOD networthiness certification and proof of compliance with DOD Information Technology requirements in accordance with Army Regulations 25-1 and 25-2. The e-signature capability is estimated to require the following software/hardware: Transaction Manager Module Transaction Manager with Four REF User Licenses E-sign Enterprise Mobile Module Common Access Card Module for e-sign Enterprise Mobile Electronic Evidence Process Reviewer Process Reviewer Module for Electronic Evidence Database on a Production Database E-mail Notification Manager 2.1 Automation of the CSP Process: The contractor shall automate the REF Cost, Schedule and Performance (CSP) approval process by creating and electronically filling in a.pdf or.xfdl formatted form with data resident in the REF BLITZ database. Once form is completed, the automation process will provide email notification to identified signatories, track required signatures, provide a dashboard view of the CSP approval process, and allow evidence process review. The contractor shall provide the software and hardware required to enable the CSP form to be electronically signed utilizing the Common Access Card (CAC) on MAC OS X v10.5.8 and later for iPad systems, OS Mountain Lion and later for MacBook Pro, and Windows 7 for Microsoft-based systems. 2.2 Automation of the Administrative Forms: The contractor shall automate administrative forms used by the REF to include all government forms available in.pdf or xfdl formats. The contractor shall provide the software and hardware required to enable the CSP form to be electronically signed utilizing the Common Access Card (CAC) on MAC OS X v10.5.8 and later for iPad systems, OS Mountain Lion and later for MacBook Pro, and Windows 7 for Microsoft-based systems. Electronic signature process and workflow for Administrative Forms shall use a routing business process that enables a user to initiate a form found on the Army Publishing Directorate website (http://www.apd.army.mil/default.asp) and designate the routing of the form through a series of positions/personnel. The routing form will allow the user to enter a position, name, email address and suspense date through which the system will automatically deliver email notifications, in turn, for input and/or electronic signature. Upon completion by the last designated position/name, the system will in turn send a notification to all personnel on the routing form that the action has been completed. The routing business process will include the capability for any position/name on the routing slip to either reject the form and return it to the originator or return the form for correction to the previous position/name on the routing slip, with the same email notification rules. The contractor shall provide a dashboard view of the routing process to enable users to identify open and closed actions by initiating user, dates actions were completed, and current status of forms. The routing business process flow and dashboard will be designed by the contractor and approved by the government prior to implementation. 2.3 Training. The contractor shall provide three training sessions for REF personnel on the electronic signature and routing business process and a user handbook. The user handbook will enable any user to utilize the CSP approval and routing business process and the dashboard without assistance. 2.5 REF Support Services (OPTION). At the request of the government, the contractor shall provide costs for technical support in the modification of the REF CSP approval process, the routing business process, and/or additional process implementations. Upon acceptance of the cost by the government, the contractor shall provide the technical support required for modification. 2.6 Increase to Signature Capacity (OPTION). 2.6.1 Additional 5,000 signature capacity. 2.6.2 Additional 10,000 signature capacity. 3.
