Financial Close Modernization Tool

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Administration Facilities Training Contracting Division is issuing a Sources‑Sought RFI (Solicitation PR20156685) to identify Commercial‑Off‑The‑Shelf (COTS) solutions that will modernize and automate CBP’s financial close process. The desired tool must accelerate year‑end close cycles, eliminate manual procedures, and ensure compliance with OMB Circular A‑123, GAAP, and federal security, privacy, and accessibility (Section 508) requirements. Core capabilities include seamless integration with CBP’s SAP environment (S/4HANA, ECC, or related modules) via pre‑built connectors or APIs, robust workflow and role‑based access controls, real‑time analytics dashboards, automated account reconciliations, transaction matching, journal entry processing, and validation of expense postings to fund codes. The solution should also provide AI/ML‑driven anomaly detection, variance analysis, predictive analytics, and automated corrective suggestions, as well as comprehensive CPM features, collaboration tools (shared workspaces, commenting, task assignment), and dynamic reporting with audit trails. Scalability for high transaction volumes, configurable federal‑specific close requirements, and deployment options (on‑premises, cloud, or hybrid with FedRAMP authorization) are required, along with data backup, restoration, retention, archiving, and purging capabilities. Responses must be submitted as a Microsoft Word (Office 2016 compatible) Capability Statement limited to 15 single‑sided pages, addressing all listed questions (pricing model, implementation timeline for large agencies, training, support, security features, references, etc.). The statement is due no later than 10:30 a.m. EST on 30 March 2026 and must be emailed to CBP Contract Specialist Denise V. Thompson at denise.v.thompson@cbp.dhs.gov. No set‑aside applies.
