6. What kind of investment will this be in FY2010?
Operations and Maintenance
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.
ICE spts HHS' Strategic Goal 8 to achieve excellence in mgmt practices. ICE developed and delivered a suite of e-business apps for various acq mgmt processes by improving automation of the acq processes and reducing the overall processing time. In accordance with Objective 8.1 - Create a unified HHS committed to functioning as one Department, the system will integrate with the Oracle's Joint Financial Management Improvement Program (JFMIP) Financial Management System being implemented by DHHS. ICE is fully deployed throughout CDC with interfaces to UFMS. ICE will be replaced by an HHS prescribed solution at the start of FY 12. HHS requested CDC to pursue an alternative acquisition system pilot in FY 10, that could potentially replace HCAS. Funding for ICE is required until this transition occurs. Objective 8.5 - Enhance the use of info technology in service delivery and record keeping is evidenced by the recently implemented automated feed from ICE to DCIS. Data previously input into DCIS by contracting specialists through a separate portal, and the potential for entry errors was significant. Errors are eliminated as the data can't be transmitted without system validations and next level approval. As a direct result of this interface, Objectives 8.2 and 8.3 - Improve the strategic management of human capital, and Enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of competitive sourcing respectively were realized. Cost and time savings per specialist are captured by calculating at 15 min (avg) per contract action times the total number of transaction per FY. Data submitted accurately reports CDC acquisitions and completion status. This investment has been reviewed and approved by the CDC TRB and ITIRB. This task order with options has a period of performance (PoP) through 6 Oct 2010 and is reflected under the Acq Strategy tab "End Date". As stated, we're projecting our conversion to a department-wide solution, and the option periods in the task order provide sufficient time to stand-up the pilot and retire ICE. The services supporting this investment are contained in a CPFF task order with performance based factors. Per FAR 37.102 (2)(ii), a firm-fixed price performance based acquisition is preferred, but it does not preclude the awarding of a contract or task order that is not firm-fixed price. This task order contains measurable performance standards in the form of service level agreements which address how the contractor's performance will be assessed.

SUMMARY OF SPEND


1. Provide the total estimated life-cycle cost for this investment by completing the following table. All amounts represent budget authority in millions, and are rounded to three decimal places. Federal personnel costs should be included only in the row designated Government FTE Cost, and should be excluded from the amounts shown for Planning, Full Acquisition, and Operation/Maintenance. The total estimated annual cost of the investment is the sum of costs for Planning, Full Acquisition, and Operation/Maintenance. For Federal buildings and facilities, life-cycle costs should include long term energy, environmental, decommissioning, and/or restoration costs. The costs associated with the entire life-cycle of the investment should be included in this report.

All amounts represent Budget Authority

Note: For the cross-agency investments, this table should include all funding (both managing partner and partner agencies).

Government FTE Costs should not be included as part of the TOTAL represented.

2. Will this project require the agency to hire additional FTE's?
no
3. If the summary of spending has changed from the FY2008 President's budget request, briefly explain those changes.
At the behest of HHS, the life of ICE has been extended until such time that a suitable replacement investment is identified and implemented. As a result, the investment requires a rebaseline to extend the O&M status beyond FY2009 as previously estimated. As part of the rebaseline process, all related e300 information such as cost, acquisition and milestone plans, and performance information will be aligned and updated. We anticipate full approval of the ICE rebaseline by end of October 2008.

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.
CDC Integrated Contracts Expert (ICE)
3. Is this investment identified in a completed (contains a target architecture) and approved segment architecture?
yes
3.a. If yes, provide the name of the segment architecture as provided in the agency’s most recent annual EA Assessment.
032-000
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?
2008-01-02
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 Operational Analysis, conducted over the last 2 years, as described in question 1b. of the Cost and Schedule Performance section, indicates that all system requirements in the development contract are being met. The contract has a limited remaining life span, and planning for the retirement of ICE continues. A retirement date of FY 2011 was projected as part of the rebaseline efforts to extend ICE. Previously The life of the investment was extended beyond FY 2009 at the behest of HHS. Therefore, to date, all known risk has been mitigated, and the Risk Management Plan will be updated as part of the rebaseline efforts.

COST & SCHEDULE


1. Was operational analysis conducted?
yes
1.a. If yes, provide the date the analysis was completed.
2007-12-20
What were the results of your operational analysis?
Currently meets requirements. Scheduled to be retired after a suitable replacement system is identified. This investment is performing within cost and schedule performance parameters, as evidenced by the monthly measurement and reporting of EVM statistics. Currently, the actual O&M costs and schedule are within 3% of the original baseline. The Ops Analysis revealed that as key operational goal , obligation records are sent to FMO at 5:00pm daily (within 24 business hours of award). Receiving and Pay authorization records are also sent to FMO daily (within 24 hours of authorization), thus achieving the anticipated reduction of processing time.
