' src=

IBM (NYSE: IBM) has won a potential $850 million task order from the U.S. Navy to provide technical support for the service’s enterprise resource planning system, CHIPS reported Monday.

The Navy ERP Technical Support Services task order awarded under the SeaPort-NxG multiple-award contract supports upgrades to the Navy ERP financial system that oversees more than half of the service’s total obligation authority and has been fielded to 72,000 users across six systems commands.

“As we work with the Navy, our team looks forward to leveraging our cognitive expertise and utilizing cutting-edge technologies, such as automation and machine learning, to further enhance the Navy’s transformation,” Steve LaFleche , general manager of IBM’s U.S. public and federal market, told GovCon Wire.

The task order has a one-year base period, four 12-month options and another six-month option and covers information technology, systems integration, information management, process management, data services and information systems mission support.

IBM will also help update the Navy ERP system’s functions including logistics, sustainment, deployment and business intelligence. Work will also include data analysis and governance, software design, business system integration and business process management and reengineering.

“The award of NETSS is a major milestone in the continued maturation of Navy ERP’s capabilities,” said Edward Quick, program manager for Navy Enterprise Business Solutions. “The services provided by the NETSS task order will enable the continued migration of new commands to Navy ERP, a move that will facilitate the Navy’s ability to conduct a clean financial audit.”

The service issued a solicitation for the NETSS task order in December and accepted bids through Jan. 27.

Department of the Navy awards Navy Enterprise Resource Planning Technical Support Services Task Order

ARLINGTON, Va. — The Naval Information Warfare Systems Command (NAVWAR) awarded the Navy Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Technical Support Services (NETSS) task order Friday on behalf of the Program Executive Office for Manpower, Logistics and Business Solutions’ (PEO MLB) Navy Enterprise Business Solutions (Navy EBS) program management office, the PEO MLB said in an April 24 release.  

NETSS is the lead system integrator contract for Navy ERP, the Department of the Navy’s (DON) financial system of record, managing nearly 56% of the Navy’s total obligation authority. To date, Navy ERP has been deployed to 72,000 users across six Navy systems commands.  

A SeaPort-NxG Multiple Award Contract (MAC) task order, NETSS was awarded to International Business Machines (IBM) headquartered in Armonk, New York. The task order period of performance is a 12-month base and four 12-month options, as well as a single option to extend the term of the task order for six months. The total task order value is approximately $850 million.   

“The award of NETSS is a major milestone in the continued maturation of Navy ERP’s capabilities,” said Edward Quick, program manager for Navy EBS. “The services provided by the NETSS task order will enable the continued migration of new commands to Navy ERP, a move that will facilitate the Navy’s ability to conduct a clean financial audit.” 

In the last year, Navy EBS has consolidated and migrated seven DON commands and the Office of the Secretary of the Navy with a budget authority of $8 billion from their legacy financial systems to Navy ERP. This effort also included migrating and validating more than 4 billion transactions to Navy ERP, providing a more complete and audit-ready financial management system.  

“The recent strides the Navy has made in migrating commands to Navy ERP and the award of NETSS is a testament to the strong partnership and collaboration between PEO MLB and the Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Financial Management and Comptroller [ASN(FM&C)],” said Les Hubbard, program executive officer for MLB. “Together, we are enabling the business of the Navy.” 

The NETSS task order includes Information Technology (IT), Information Management (IM), large scale Systems Integration (SI) and Information Systems (IS) mission support activities. The NETSS vendor will provide services to upgrade and support Navy ERP’s capabilities including business intelligence, logistics, development, deployment and sustainment. NETSS services include data governance and analysis, business process re-engineering and management, software design and developing, and business system integration. Additionally, NETSS include process management, solution delivery and data services, which support current and future Department of Defense and DON requirements in the areas of enterprise information management services, solution engineering services, business process management services, analytics and decision support services and knowledge transfer.  

The NETSS Fair Opportunity Proposal Request (FOPR) solicitation was released to all SeaPort-NxG MAC holders on Dec. 23, 2020 and proposals were due on Jan. 27, 2021.  

Prior to the award of NETSS, Navy ERP’s system integrator support was provided by multiple companies via the Process Improvement, Reengineering, Management and Data Support Services (PIRMDS2) Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) MAC issued in 2016 to multiple contractors by Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk.

Case Study: US Navy Enterprise Resource Planning

enterprise resource planning navy

Business Challenge

Navy ERP’s mission is to develop and sustain a business capability that enables the Navy business enterprise to budget, account for, and audit its resources so that it can monitor and make decisions about how the resources are obtained, allocated and utilized for the benefit of the warfighter and the US taxpayer.

The vision of Navy ERP is to provide the Navy with information technology services to manage its worldwide resources: people, supply, and financials. The integration of financial and supply solutions on a single platform provides real-time data access and decision support to the Navy Enterprise.

In August 2019, Navy ERP received a technology refresh and upgraded to the SAP HANA (high performance analytic appliance) cloud-based platform resulting in more efficient operations with increased memory, additional data storage and faster processing, making it the Navy’s largest IT system to migrate to the cloud. Subsequently, in April 2020 Navy ERP transitioned from a sustainment posture to a scalable, agile development program to better support Navy auditability requirements and began migrating Navy Working Capital and General Fund commands into Navy ERP.

How We Helped

At the Department of Navy, IT Partners (ITP) provides sustainment and enhancement software development support to the Navy ERP Program Manager. As one of the largest business systems to gain DoD approval to implement a scalable agile development approach

IT Partners has been instrumental in bringing best practice agile development and release techniques based on industry best practices to the sustainment and the enhancement of Navy ERP. This approach has enabled the Navy to incremental enhance and resolve audit findings in a systematic and consistent approach.

IT Partners supported the migration of the Navy ERP infrastructure to Hana, a cloud-based operating system and database solution. The Hana platform significantly improved the efficiency of the platform and improved cyber security risk by centralizing data and infrastructure into a single solution.

IT Partners supports the site deployment to new sites that have transitioned from legacy financial management systems to Navy ERP. Transition support includes process mapping and definition, migration of reporting and visualization capabilities and end user support.

As of August 2021, IT Partners is a subcontractor to IBM for Navy ERP Technical Service Support

Project Goals

The Results

The Navy has centralized business systems to a central authority providing opportunities to further expand the benefits of Navy ERP as an authoritative business system for the Department of Navy. The results of Navy ERP has improved the Navy’s ability to execute funds and losing the ability to expend budgeted funding. Navy ERP will be critical system to get to a clean audit opinion for the Department of the Navy, currently planned for 2027.

Readying the warfighter: u.s. navy erp migrates to aws.

In its mission is to maintain, train, and equip combat-ready naval forces, the U.S. Navy automates many back-office functions related to technology, services, and human resources so that members of the Navy can make informed decisions and focus on their tasks at hand. However, these on-premises systems have historically been disconnected and dispersed, making it challenging to collect, process, and analyze mission-critical information quickly.

To combat that disconnect, the U.S. Navy and SAP National Security Services (SAP NS2) migrated their largest SAP enterprise resource planning (ERP) system – 72,000 users spread across six U.S. Navy commands – to the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud. The milestone — which came 10 months ahead of schedule — will put the movement and documentation of some $70 billion worth of parts and goods into one accessible space, so the information can be shared, analyzed, and protected more uniformly.

The U.S. Navy procured the SAP NS2 Secure HANA Cloud (SHC), an offering for customers to securely move their applications and infrastructure workloads to the cloud . AWS GovCloud (US) is available through the SHC offering .

Bringing the U.S. Navy’s largest SAP ERP system into the cloud increases visibility and availability of data so the Navy can make timely and informed decisions around its financial reporting and budgets, maintenance and repair logs, and conduct advanced analytics.

For example, quickly aggregating maintenance and repair logs is critically important, as maintenance and repair backlogs have kept ships pier-side months longer than planned, as parts go missing or get jammed up inside the massive logistics enterprise.

This IT modernization effort provides important benefits to the U.S. Navy. The scalable, elastic platform will help them achieve audit readiness as well as allow them to make informed logistics and maintenance decisions.

Migrating this workload to the cloud shows that the U.S. Navy and agencies across the US Department of Defense (DoD) can quickly modernize and migrate to the cloud. The U.S. Navy hosted a two-day, lessons learned workshop attended by other DoD agencies seeking to learn about the Navy’s experience. These learnings will be distributed across the DoD.

Navy ERP data is hosted across both AWS GovCloud (US) Regions . AWS Snowball Edges , a data migration and edge computing device, were used to migrate Navy ERP data to AWS GovCloud (US).

AWS GovCloud (US) is designed to address the specific regulatory requirements of United States government agencies, education entities, and other customers and partners. AWS GovCloud (US) is available to US government agencies, government contractors, private and public commercial entities, educational institutions, nonprofits, and research organizations that meet AWS GovCloud (US) requirements for access.

Adoption of cloud computing is critical to maintaining the military’s technological advantage, in garrison and at the tactical edge. By using the security, elasticity, and advanced services of AWS, the DoD can achieve significant cost savings and agility as well as mission-critical insights that enable improved command and control, readiness, and lethality.

The AWS Cloud is the only commercial cloud service provider that can provide government agencies with common infrastructure and services to process Public, For Official Use Only (FOUO), Sensitive, Secret, and Top Secret workloads.

SAP National Security Services Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of SAP America, Inc. that provides a comprehensive, enterprise-scale cloud offerings, software support and services. The cloud offerings include a unique combination of software, services, and infrastructure to provide customers with the optimal application performance and agility for critical applications.
