5. Unique Project Identifier:
009-90-02-00-01-0001-00
6. What kind of investment will this be in FY2009?

7. What was the first budget year this investment was submitted to OMB?
FY2004
8. Provide a brief summary and justification for this investment, including a brief description of how this closes in part or in whole an identified agency performance gap.
The purpose of the IT Service Center (ITSC), which supports the Consortium of smaller OpDivs, is to manage the consolidated IT infrastructure for their mutual benefit and for the benefit of HHS. The Consortium members include Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Administration for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), Administration on Aging (AOA), Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) regional offices, Office of the Inspector General (OIG), Office of the Secretary (OS), Program Support Center (PSC), and Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). The benefit of this consolidation is a reduction in government IT staff for the Small OpDivs. ITSC has moved from a Government Owned, Contractor Operated (GOCO) model to a Contrator Owned, Contractor Operated (COCO) model for delivery of managed services. The former model was unable to fill the performance gaps of timeliness of services and inefficiency. The new model puts the burden of performance on the contractor. Financial rewards are tied to metrics that measure timely and consistent delivery of services. The contractor provides support in the following tasks: 1. Core IT Infrastructure Support Services 2. Database Administration and Application Support 3. Application Hosting 4. Continuity of Operations (COOP) and Disaster Recovery (DR) Support 5. Infrastructure Support Initiatives 6. Training Support 7. ITSC Network Support 8. Miscellaneous Support Services By contracting the delivery of O&M services to a private organization, the ITSC investment is aligned with the PMA goal of Competitive Sourcing.

PERFORMANCE


In order to successfully address this area of the exhibit 300, performance goals must be provided for the agency and be linked to the annual performance plan. The investment must discuss the agency's mission and strategic goals, and performance measures (indicators) must be provided. These goals need to map to the gap in the agency's strategic goals and objectives this investment is designed to fill. They are the internal and external performance benefits this investment is expected to deliver to the agency (e.g., improve efficiency by 60 percent, increase citizen participation by 300 percent a year to achieve an overall citizen participation rate of 75 percent by FY 2xxx, etc.). The goals must be clearly measurable investment outcomes, and if applicable, investment outputs. They do not include the completion date of the module, milestones, or investment, or general goals, such as, significant, better, improved that do not have a quantitative measure.
Agencies must use the following table to report performance goals and measures for the major investment and use the Federal Enterprise Architecture (FEA) Performance Reference Model (PRM). Map all Measurement Indicators to the corresponding Measurement Area and Measurement Grouping identified in the PRM. There should be at least one Measurement Indicator for each of the four different Measurement Areas (for each fiscal year). The PRM is available at www.egov.gov. The table can be extended to include performance measures for years beyond FY 2009.

Enterprise Architecture


In order to successfully address this area of the business case and capital asset plan you must ensure the investment is included in the agency's EA and Capital Planning and Investment Control (CPIC) process, and is mapped to and supports the FEA. You must also ensure the business case demonstrates the relationship between the investment and the business, performance, data, services, application, and technology layers of the agency's EA.
1. Is this investment included in your agency's target enterprise architecture?
yes
2. Is this investment included in the agency's EA Transition Strategy?
yes
2.a. If yes, provide the investment name as identified in the Transition Strategy provided in the agency's most recent annual EA Assessment.
OS IT Service Center (ITSC)
3. Is this investment identified in a completed (contains a target architecture) and approved segment architecture?
no
4. Identify the service components funded by this major IT investment (e.g., knowledge management, content management, customer relationship management, etc.). Provide this information in the format of the following table. For detailed guidance regarding components, please refer to http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/egov/.

Component: Use existing SRM Components or identify as NEW. A NEW component is one not already identified as a service component in the FEA SRM.

Reused Name and UPI: A reused component is one being funded by another investment, but being used by this investment. Rather than answer yes or no, identify the reused service component funded by the other investment and identify the other investment using the Unique Project Identifier (UPI) code from the OMB Ex 300 or Ex 53 submission.

Internal or External Reuse?: Internal reuse is within an agency. For example, one agency within a department is reusing a service component provided by another agency within the same department. External reuse is one agency within a department reusing a service component provided by another agency in another department. A good example of this is an E-Gov initiative service being reused by multiple organizations across the federal government.

Funding Percentage: Please provide the percentage of the BY requested funding amount used for each service component listed in the table. If external, provide the funding level transferred to another agency to pay for the service.

PART THREE


RISK


You should perform a risk assessment during the early planning and initial concept phase of the investment's life-cycle, develop a risk-adjusted life-cycle cost estimate and a plan to eliminate, mitigate or manage risk, and be actively managing risk throughout the investment's life-cycle.

Answer the following questions to describe how you are managing investment risks.
1. Does the investment have a Risk Management Plan?
yes
1.a. If yes, what is the date of the plan?
2005-06-30
1.b. Has the Risk Management Plan been significantly changed since last year's submission to OMB?
yes
1.c. If yes, describe any significant changes:
The risks identified reflect changes in the contract structure and implementation from GOCO to COCO. Risk was identified in transitioning to a new contractor and a new service model. Sufficient overlap time was built in for a successful transition to the new contract. The contract vehicle minimizes the risk to the government by placing service responisibility on the contractor. The contractor is financially motivated to meet all service levels. Penalties and rewards are based on performance.

COST & SCHEDULE


1. Was operational analysis conducted?
yes
1.a. If yes, provide the date the analysis was completed.
2007-07-31

The operational analysis was captured in nine separate contractor line item numbers. The operational milestones are Core IT Infrastructure and Support, Database Administration and Applications Support, Application Hosting, COOP/DR Support, Infrastructure Support, Training Support, ITSC Network Support, Miscellaneous Support, and Travel and Other ODC's. Core IT Infrastructure Support and ITSC Network Support are the largest operational expenses. ITSC has requested an increase of $5.233 million from $29.131 million to $34.364 million.
