REDSTONE ARSENAL, Ala.--In fiscal year 2015, the Army Contracting Command's Redstone Arsenal Center began a bi-weekly virtual training event here covering various procurement data systems and metrics-related topics. Three years later, it grew into a formalized initiative called Operation Aristotle. The initiative transformed into a collaborative and organic setting to engage and connect with the ACC-RSA workforce while educating them on the Paperless Contract File system (PCF), Procurement Data Integrity and Contract Action Reporting, and Procurement Action Lead Time (PALT) from a data and reporting perspective.
At the beginning of 2019, the ACC-RSA workforce responded to a survey and strongly supported continuing the program. This birthed Operation Socrates, which is a streamlined version from previous iterations through the facilitation of monthly offerings. It is the third iteration of a strategic training program designed to deliver knowledge readiness to the ACC-RSA workforce.
The program takes place currently in the Bob Jones Auditorium (BJA) at the Sparkman Center complex and covers various contracting topics such as: Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), new PCF milestones and the importance of procurement data integrity, Virtual Contracting Enterprise -- Business Intelligence tool, PALT and Leading Indicators, and the Contracting Officer's Representative Tracking (CORT) Tool.
Since the program's inception, ACC-RSA has conducted more than 30 sessions to more than 2,000 attendees.
On July 30, from 9:00a.m. -- 11:00 a.m. at the Bob Jones Auditorium, ACC-RSA will host its last session this fiscal year on the new Joint Appointment Module (JAM) and Surveillance and Performance Monitoring module (SPM) which replaced CORT on June 24.
