Financial System Modernization Project

Page last updated April 1, 2008

Introduction:

The Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Office of the Chief Financial Officer (OCFO) is responsible for providing financial management services and for managing and coordinating EPA’s planning, budget, analysis, and accountability processes.  OCFO is in the planning and acquisition phase of its Financial System Modernization Project, a key element of the overall Financial Replacement System plan.  The implemented financial system under this project will promote increased integration among the various systems and add new functionality that will improve EPA’s mission performance.

The project is framed by EPA’s business requirements and the objectives set forth by the Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB) Financial Management Line of Business (FM-LoB) initiative under the President’s Management Agenda.  EPA is considering that it implements a solution consistent with the FM-LoB vision: to establish the framework for a government-wide financial management solution that is efficient and improves business performance while ensuring integrity in accountability, financial controls, and mission effectiveness.  In this way, the goals identified for the FM-LoB provide the underpinnings for EPA's Financial Replacement System plan.  Additional information about FM-LoB may be found at OMB’s e-gov web site listed below.

EPA will use a single stage acquisition that includes three elements—software, integration, and hosting.  Consistent with the FM-LoB approach, EPA is considering Government designated Centers of Excellence for Financial Management as well as private sector providers as part of its best-value determination.  Centers of Excellence are the Department of Transportation, Department of the Interior, General Services Administration, and Bureau of the Public Debt.  In the interest of transparency and equity, the Government has determined that issuance of a single solicitation under the contracting by negotiation procedures of FAR Part 15 will be utilized.  EPA will apply the policies and procedures in OMB Circular A-76 to the extent necessary to achieve a level playing field in a competition involving sources from both the public and private sectors.

Through this Web page, EPA provided the public, private sector vendors, and the Government Centers of Excellence interested in responding to the EPA solicitation with early access to reference documents applicable to the solicitation.  EPA Office of Acquisition Management (OAM) issued the solicitation on January 6, 2006.  The solicitation closed on March 7, 2006.   The Request for Proposal Documents on this web page are linked to the EPA OAM web site http://www.epa.gov/oamhpod1/adm_placement/fsmp/index.htm.   Additional EPA reference materials remain posted on this Web page.
