- Description
- Notice of Intent for Sole Source award Spectrum Systems LLC for the purchase of Tomoye Ecco 3.x Enterprise Suscription License renewal IAW 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(B). The Air Force Financial Management organization has a requirement to provide enterprise-wide program management to improve innovation, streamline decision making, and reduce repetitive tasks across the team. The software licenses (1000) and server support are provided by Sitrion ( formerly Newsgator Technologies Inc.) The software licenses and server allow members and employees to work operational problems real time and better share our disbursed experience in crafting solutions to financial management challenges and save dollars by mitigating duplicative work across the FM team. This software and server support real-time teaming and improved decision-making through an integrated capability that allows users to use a variety of tools to brainstorm, evaluate, update and track progress in developing: financial analysis techniques and improve solutions development in a more constrained fiscal environment. This software has been a key in developing standard practices in financial services and hosts years of intellectual data mined to help the Air Force achieve Audit Readiness standards set by the Department of Defense, achieve quality control standards, mitigate manpower reductions by improving teamwork across our geographically separated units, and strengthen training and force development. This software is peculiar to one manufacturer NewsGator Technologies Inc. dba Sitrion, and is propriety in nature. They own the source code and currently allow only one third-party reseller of this software and the subsequent maintenance to Spectrum Systems, LLC. Spectrum Systems is able to provide the software through their GSA scheudle. Currently, Sitrion is not registered in SAM.gov, therefore, award cannot be made to Sitrion, leaving the only other option to be Spectrum Systems. If the Air Force Financial Management team does not acquire this software, it will impact AETC's financial decision management and resource allocation process. It will impact the ability to develop new training for personnel. Senior enlisted leaders across the FM community use this software to better collaborate on training updates for entry level enlisted training. The FM officer/civilian Career Field Manager also utilizes the Forums to update and develop new officer and civilian training; with the large reduction in travel funding, the FM community uses this collaborative software to mitigate travel funding constraints while still providing important updates to training.
