Correspondence and Task Management System (CATMS)

NOTICE OF INTENT

Tracking Number (832571097)

The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA)/Defense Information Technology Contracting

Organization intends to negotiate a sole source contract with Accenture Federal Services, LLC.

A sole source Justification & Approval document is being coordinated, and upon approval, a

copy of it will be posted on SAM.gov to comply with the public display requirements of FAR

6.305.

The proposed contract action is for contractor support and maintenance for the DISA Command,

Control, Communications, and Computers (C4) Enterprise Directorate (“J6 C4”)

Correspondence and Task Management System (CATMS) that will enable the Offices of the

Secretary of Defense (OSD), Washington Headquarters Services, Pentagon Force Protection

Agency, and other Department of Defense (DoD) components to achieve their functional

missions and objectives in support of the Secretary of Defense.

This is a non-personnel services task order to provide lead integration for mission application

development, system engineering, sustainment, and support services to CATMS. CATMS is the

OSD correspondence and coordination mission application that provides an integrated system

and process for managing the lifecycle of official correspondence for the Secretary and Deputy

Secretary of Defense. It provides OSD components and action officers the ability to generate,

assign, and control internal OSD component tasks and coordination requests. The overall

objective of the follow-on effort is support of the following services without interruption:

 Maintain CATMS in Microsoft (MS) Dynamics 365 v9.2. online without interruptions,

maintaining a 98% average monthly and annual uptime.

 Automate the dissemination and reporting of actions, tasks, requests for information,

awards, and decorations originating from J6 C4 to internal and external DoD staff

organizations.

 Enable transparency and provide metrics to identify workflow bottlenecks, conduct

workload comparisons, and create efficiencies and accountability for staff processes.

 Use agile software development techniques that allow for quick response to Government

requirements.

 Reduce overall lifecycle support costs by limiting the need for additional operations and

maintenance support.

 Utilize the commercial off-the-shelf software Task Management Tool (TMT) to the

maximum extent possible to maximize reuse of the existing infrastructure, reducing

delivery time and development costs.

CATMS currently leverages the existing J6 C4 infrastructure and provides seamless integration

to the Configuration Resource Management (CRM), MS SharePoint servers, and MS Office.

The CATMS program is fully integrated into supported workflow/staff functions, and it enables

a more streamlined tasking procedure through delivery of increased transparency, visibility, and

accountability within the TMT supported footprint.

At this time, the incumbent contractor, Accenture Federal Services, LLC, is the only source

capable of providing all necessary services. Accenture Federal Services, LLC retains proprietary

rights to the TMT source code and does not have any obligation to provide (nor will it provide)

this source code to any other company. Because of this, Accenture Federal Services, LLC is the

only company that can implement enhancements into TMT's source code to facilitate proper

integration into the server construct.

The statutory authority for other than full and open competition is 10 USC 2304 (c) (1), as

implemented by FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii), only one responsible source and no other supplies or

services will satisfy agency requirements. Companies who believe they can provide this service

must indicate their interest in writing within 15 days of this notification and include a detailed

capability statement. No reimbursement for any cost connected with providing capability

information will be provided. All responsible sources will be considered in evaluating the

determination to issue a sole source contract. Quotations or proposals received in response to

this notice cannot be accepted since this synopsis cannot be considered a request for quote or a

request for proposal. A solicitation will NOT be posted to SAM.gov due to the sole source

nature of the requirement.

The North American Industry Classification System code 541512– Computer Systems Design

Services, will be used for determining company size status.
