Joint Capabilities Requirements Manager (JCRM) Software Sustainment and Maintenance

Amendment 01 (published April 11, 2024): The purpose of this amendment is to publish the Government responses to submitted questions. The DISA Joint Planning and Execution Services (JPES) Program Management Office (PMO) is seeking information from potential sources for: sustaining the operational legacy system that supports the Joint Operation Planning Process (JOPP) and Global Force Management (GFM) Process until the system is modernized and the legacy system can be sunset.

The operational legacy system is the Joint Capabilities Requirements Manager (JCRM). JCRM is a tool that takes operational plans inputted into the Joint Operations Planning and Execution System (JOPES) and creates orders for those plans, which in turn are sent to the Department of Defense (DoD) secretary for authorization. JCRM will be modernized into JPES.

However, the JCRM transition date is currently not known but is estimated to take place during calendar year 2030. Historically, JOPES and JCRM Sustainment and Maintenance have been issued under one contract/task order, however, it is the Government’s intent that by 1st Quarter Calendar Year 2025, JOPES will sunset and transition to JPES.

As a result, it is anticipated that JOPES support will no longer be needed, however, JCRM sustainment and maintenance will be required until JCRM is modernized and transitioned to JPES. The scope of this effort includes project management as well as support and maintenance for JCRM only.
