Army Emergency Relief (AER) is a private 501(c)3 organization chartered to relieve distress of active and retired Soldiers and their Families by providing financial assistance. Financial assistance may be in the form of a no-interest loan, grant or combination of no-interest loan and grant. In addition, AER provides educational scholarship grants to dependent children and spouses of those eligible for financial assistance. In calendar year 2017, AER provided over $61.7M in assistance to over 43K Retired and Active duty Soldiers as well as an additional $8M in scholarships to 3,193 Family members.
AER's ability to provide timely assistance of this magnitude is dependent upon its ability to fully leverage information management technology. Currently, AERs enterprise business management system combines functions for providing financial assistance, managing loans, collecting and documenting donations and issuing scholarships, as well as all required accounting functions. The current system uses individual social security numbers as the primary means of individual identification. The Army is eliminating the use of the SSN and migrating to the DODID (Department of Defense ID) number as well as launching a new Integrated Personnel and Pay System - Army (IPPS-A) which requires that we identify, develop, implement and operate future technology requirements that will interface with IPPS-A.
AER seeks to acquire functionality that will provide solutions as either an all-encompassing system (Assistance, Loan Management, Donations, Scholarships and Dashboard) or a solution with three separate system options (Assistance& Loan Management combined, Donations and Scholarships) with a Dashboard tool or function to view data from the three systems. Production and delivery of these products supports AER's long-term Strategic Management Plan with an estimated timeline provided at Annex G. We envision a replacement of our current enterprise business management system in terms of software to make the "To Be" enterprise architecture operational.
AER will provide full and fair consideration to all proposals submitted in good order and received at its offices, 2530 Crystal Drive, 13th Floor, Room 13161, Arlington, VA 22202 no later than October 2, 2018. Electronic submissions can be submitted directly to william.hagzan@aerhq.org. Offerors may request a secure document upload link to submit proposals electronically.
