What the FY2027 request buys

Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 01 of PE 0605080S. This is the budget justification's own description of work that has not happened yet — the one thing no other level of the budget carries.

FY2027 planned work

In FY 2027, the DAI PMO will: • Will mature/ enhance system post OCI migration. • Maintain ATO for DAI Cloud hosting/ maintain ATO post cloud migration • Continue with cloud hosting stabilization efforts. • Develop Release 10 to deploy to customer organizations in October 2027. • Continue to develop, deploy, and support Departmental initiatives to include G-Invoicing and Identity Credential Access Management (ICAM). • Continue ongoing support to 30 Organizations as they undergo audit by helping them with answering auditor PBCs. • Support Defense Agencies and activities to consolidate Audit activities and include ADVANA wrapper. • Support the DLA Audit Readiness Office in developing their assertion package, supporting DLA’s SOC-1 report, and resolving any identified NFRs. • Undergo a DAI application standalone service provider independent audit (SSAE-18). • Maintain Application User Licenses to support additional users and increased data storage costs. • Conduct BEA compliance assessment against the current version and BPR for user organizations. • Continue to expand the use of RPA to replace manual processes and improve resource utilization. • Increase Tier 2 Help Desk support to meet Production Support Request (PSR) resolution targets. • Increase Development Support for System Change Proposal (SCP) requirements backlog resolution.

FY2026 to FY2027 change

Funding increased due to new DAI initiatives with implementing/onboarding new agencies. • Funding increased due by $19.6M due to the planned integration of USTRANSCOM into the DAI ERP solution as well as increased application development resources to allow DAI to apply 10,000 hours per year to the DAI requirements backlog (accrued during the USMC DAI Implementation and Audit Focus). • TRANSCOM’s integration into the DAI ERP solution will allow TRANSCOM to utilize DAI’s centralized platform, enhancing financial accountability, audit, compliance, and operational efficiency aligned with DoW financial goals.

Before the request year

FY2025–FY2026: what came before

Prior-year accomplishments and current-year plans from the same exhibit. Context for the FY2027 plan, not a series — an activity partitions its project exactly in the request year, but can under-cover it in earlier years.

FY2026 plans — current year

In FY 2026,the DAI PMO plans to: • Transition the application from an on-premise DISA-hosted environment to a commercial cloud hosting environment with go-live in April 2026. • Continue with cloud hosting stabilization efforts. • Develop Release 9 deployed to customer organizations in October 2026. • Continue to develop, deploy, and support Departmental initiatives to include G-Invoicing and Identity Credential Access Management (ICAM). • Continue ongoing support to 30 Organizations as they undergo audit by helping them with answering auditor PBCs. • Support Defense Agencies and activities to consolidate Audit activities and include ADVANA wrapper. • Support the DLA Audit Readiness Office in developing their assertion package, supporting DLA’s SOC-1 report, and resolving any identified NFRs. • Undergo a DAI application standalone service provider independent audit (SSAE-18). • Maintain Application User Licenses to support additional users and increased data storage costs. • Conduct BEA compliance assessment against the current version and BPR for user organizations. • Support RMF processes to maintain DAI’s ATO packages for the DAI legacy on-premise application and the EPM SaaS application, and to maintain DAI’s IATT for DAI Cloud, and achieve an ATO in the DAI Cloud environment for FY 26. • Continue to expand the use of RPA to replace manual processes and improve resource utilization. • Increase Tier 2 Help Desk support to meet Production Support Request (PSR) resolution targets. • Increase Development Support for System Change Proposal (SCP) requirements backlog resolution.

Money

Three years, and no five-year plan

An R-2A activity publishes the prior year, the current year and the budget year. The FYDP outyears exist at project and program-element level and are deliberately absent here rather than inferred. Estimate types are colored and never summed into one figure.

This activity is 100% of project 01's FY2027 request and 100% of PE 0605080S's. In the request year the activities under a project sum to it exactly; in the current year they under-cover it in about 9% of cases, so an activity's delta can legitimately exceed its parent's and the two must not be compared row to row.
