This initiative fields a commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution that will fuse the transportation and financial domains throughout the Joint Deployment and Distribution Enterprise (JDDE) to achieve auditability, transparency, and optimized resource allocation. The program will deliver integrated, streamlined transportation and financial data and processes, supporting the Joint Deployment and Distribution Enterprise (JDDE). Services and Department of War (DoW) agencies will have a system to automate the linkage between transportation action tasks and transportation business related tasks across the full spectrum of financial activity, from obligations through general ledger accounting. It will also close all major gaps that prevent auditability within the transportation spend across DoW and achieve significant gains in two of the focus areas of the DoW's Data Strategy: Senior Leader Decision Support and Business Analytics. Through the JTMS's ability to seamlessly integrate financial data and information with transportation operations in the joint domain, it will give JDDE users the ability to see to the transactional level in a resilient transportation network while reducing duplicate capabilities. This requirement supports performance of a full financial audit as required by title 10 U.S.C. Chapter 9A, Sec 240-D. This program element included all necessary expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver weapon system capability. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program elements 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605833F, and 0605898F. FY 2025 was rescinded $27.916 million and is not reflected in this budget documentation. This effort is in Budget Activity 4, Advanced Component Development and Prototypes (ACD&P), because efforts are necessary to evaluate integrated technologies, representative modes or prototype systems in a high fidelity and realistic operating environment.

Mission & acquisition strategy

This initiative fields a commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution that will fuse the transportation and financial domains throughout the Joint Deployment and Distribution Enterprise (JDDE) to achieve auditability, transparency, and optimized resource allocation. The program will deliver integrated, streamlined transportation and financial data and processes, supporting the Joint Deployment and Distribution Enterprise (JDDE).

The program's plan is to implement JTMS across 86 lines of operation utilizing a methodical approach while leveraging supporting contracts for foundational activities like requirements analysis, program management support, and organizational change management. The JTMS Implementation Contract is a single award indefinite delivery indefinite quantity (IDIQ) with a ten-year ordering period (FY 2025 - FY 2035) using a modular contracting method of smaller, more manageable task orders.
