The U.S. Army has started soliciting comments on a draft statement of work and related attachments for a contract to modernize the service branch’s military payroll system used to support pay generation and disbursement procedures.
The service intends to award a single contract to one company to meet the Army Military Payroll requirement under the second increment of the Integrated Personnel and Pay System-Army program, according to a request for information published Thursday.
The mission of the IPPS-A Increment II program is to “develop and deliver a single, integrated, multicomponent HR and Army Military Payroll system that streamlines Army HR, enhances the efficiency and accuracy of Army Personnel and Pay procedures, and supports Soldiers and their families,” the draft SOW reads.
The Army unveiled the IPPS-A Inc II production baseline for human resources processing and the proposed single-award contract will require the vendor to build the AMP platform using the Oracle PeopleSoft Global Payroll application and integrate the capability with the IPPS-A production baseline, a major software release that provides military HR capabilities.
The vendor should perform Agile execution combined with DevSecOps and advance task automation under the contract.
The contract has several task areas, including program management; solution configuration, development and test; solution integration; release and deployment support; and training material development.
Comments on the RFI are due Oct. 10.
CACI International (NYSE: CACI), the incumbent IPPS-A Increment II contractor, continues to provide training, sustainment and deployment support for the system under a one-year contract modification awarded in December 2022.
