Con-it

The Contracting Information Technology (CON-IT) system enables the Department of the Air Force (DAF) to accomplish its mission effectively and securely in today's rapidly changing and increasingly contested cyber domain. The Air and Space Forces require a single, 21st century contract management solution to enable DAF mission execution, from acquiring and sustaining weapon system platforms, to supporting contingency operations overseas. CON-IT supplies this single solution by consolidating and replacing numerous aging and increasingly unsupportable, legacy contract writing and management systems, while enabling the Air and Space Forces to procure vital capability faster and with increased data accuracy through built-in automation. Specifically, CON-IT's functionality provides contract data sharing interoperability across all DAF contracting communities and external business partners such as Defense Contract Management Agency, Defense Finance and Accounting Service, and industry partners. In addition, CON-IT facilitates the execution of the DAF's $240+ billion annual budget, ensuring global procurement operations are timely, auditable, and secure. CON-IT enables the DAF to anticipate and respond to the changing pace and dynamic nature of processes, regulations, compliance and technologies across the contracting domain. It empowers the contracting community to comply with Financial Improvement Audit Readiness (FIAR). This requirement supports performance of a full financial audit as required by title 10 U.S.C. Chapter 9A, Sec 240-D. CON-IT was the Department of War's (DoW) first contract writing system meeting Section 862 of FY13 NDAA requirements implementing DoW Procurement Data Standards (PDS). In addition, CON-IT implements Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (as amended) to make Electronic and Information Technology (EIT) accessible to people with disabilities. CON-IT directly supports the aim of improving government efficiency and fiscal responsibility. Specifically, it addresses objectives focused on Federal Procurement, Defense Acquisitions, Innovation, and Waste Reduction. By streamlining processes and enhancing compliance, CON-IT will provide unprecedented visibility into acquisition, supply chain, and budget execution, enabling data-driven, cost-effective decision-making.
