ACMIS Requirements

The Acquisition Career Management Information System (ACMIS) is a government wide system that collects training, education information for members of the acquisition workforce. In accordance with OMB Policy Letter 05-01 dated April 15, 2005, the acquisition workforce includes Contracting Officers, Program Managers, Project Managers, Contracting Officer Representatives, Contracting Officers Technical Representatives and any others designated by the Chief Acquisition Officer of each agency. The current ACMIS has a number of issues including data quality, duplication between ACMIS and agency Learning Management Systems, cumbersome reporting, and limited capabilities. The General Services Administration has an initiative to replace ACMIS. To that end, several steps have been taken. First, an interagency working group was established to define the requirements for ACMIS. Second, we solicited agency feedback on the requirements. Third, in first quarter of FY2010 a Request for Information was published in FedBizOp to help GSA assess available technologies and potential approaches for the new ACMIS. The next step is get industry feedback on the ACMIS requirements. The General Services Administration seeks industry comments on the requirements and functionally for the new ACMIS. The attached spread sheet (Attachment A) provides the requirements. Please use the COMMENTS column in Attachment A for your comments, suggested changes, note clarifications needed and add any additional requirements you believe are missing. For your information, Attachment B provides the ACMIS data elements. This is a request for comments on the GSA requirements for ACMIS.
