AAMS Products

The Automated Acquisition Management System (AAMS) is the only knowledge-base-driven federal acquisition solution. Targeting acquisition, grants, and the program office, AAMS comprises a set of software tools driven by a configurable, comprehensive knowledge base.  AAMS is focused on the integrated delivery of policy recommendations, regulatory content, data collection and process tracking.

Planning

The AAMS planning features allow AAMS to generate, collect, and track a wide variety of acquisition planning information. AAMS planning begins with simple pre-fiscal year requisition forecasting to assist with resource planning. It can then be augmented to support earlier acquisition planning steps, facilitating the development of standard acquisition planning practices and procedures.

Funding

AAMS supports a stable, robust ability to receive and manage requisitions generated by external systems or entered directly into AAMS. Requisitions can be linked to planning elements to track projected budgets against monies committed, providing a requisition-based view into the status of pending acquisition actions. Committed monies are tracked and allocated by requisition fund line in real-time, either by line item or an aggregated basis.

Pre-Award

AAMS allows acquisition staff to consolidate requisition requirements into one or more solicitations and supports the evaluation of an estimated budget against available funds. AAMS provides unique, in-depth content management support for sophisticated solicitation packages for public posting. Interfaces to FedBizOpps offer seamless electronic document posting. Bid receipt uses an email-based approach and supports bid comparison in Microsoft Excel®.

Award

When a buy is made, AAMS automatically generates the appropriate kind of purchasing vehicle from purchase orders to complex contracts, inserting appropriate clause language and changes from the solicitation and negotiation process. Vendor information flows form the CCR using AAMS' Virtual Vendor Repository. The AAMS award process ensures available funds, required warrant levels, real-time FPDS-NG reporting, and any other agency-mandated criteria. Award data is automatically pushed to any related systems such as finance or receiving.

Post-Award

Delivery orders, task orders and award modifications are managed in the AAMS post-award processes. Reminders can trigger renewals, deliverable verification, options, and final closeout. AAMS provides an automated-linking view which aids contract management by connecting associated acquisition actions. AAMS provides out-of-the-box standard reporting and integration with Microsoft Office® tools for ad-hoc reporting.
