In order to give back prior year DWCF profits to our customers, DISA lowered the fee from 2 percent to 1.25 percent back in FY 2006. Starting in FY 2010, the fee will be returned to its original 2 percent, in order to fully recover all of DISA's DWCF EAS program operating costs, thus breaking even (i.e. costs equal revenues) as required by the DoD Financial Management Regulation (FMR). This fee increase has been approved by OSD and documented in their Program Budget Decision (PBD) 426, dated November 2008.

NOTICE
 
SUBJECT: FY 2007 Line of Accounting for Reimbursable Leased Communications Services
 
  1. Request completion of DISA Customer Financial Plan for Leased Communications Services. DISA DITCO Circular 350-135-1, Chapter 9, Paragraphs 2 and 3 explains this requirement and is summarized below.

             Customers will provide a Financial Plan for communication services to be leased by DITCO for them for

             the ensuing fiscal year. The Financial Plan is not a funding document nor is it an authorization or

             limitation on the obligation of funds. However, it does provide DITCO with a fund citation to be used in

             reimbursing the fund for the fiscal year covered by the plan. It is the responsibility of the Customer to

             assure the sufficiency of funds to cover the estimated cost of the requirements to be leased by DITCO,

             and DITCO will presume such sufficiency when accepting TSRs/TSOs.

 
  1. PDCs must be supported with renewed funding information each fiscal year and failure to provide that information could cause a delay in processing new requirements.
  1. Renewal funding information may be provided directly through the Telecommunications Inventory and Billing Information (TIBI).  (See instructions for entering funding information within TIBI.)  For a list of PDCs belonging to your organization, view the PDCs identified in your TIBI default profile “(All Authorized PDCs)” on the Profiles page.
  1. An alternate means to provide renewal funding information is to have your financial office complete and sign the Customer Funding Information form (Microsoft Excel) NLT 31 October 2006. Funding information should include PDC(s); accounting classification and the obligating document number; billing address; a financial point of contact, DSN and commercial phone numbers and email address. This information can be forwarded via email by clicking on one of the addresses provided in paragraph 6 or mail to DISA/CFE812, 2300 East Drive, SCOTT AFB IL 62225-5406, or FAX to DSN 779-9175 (C) 618-229-9175.

     5.    Department of Defense customers, please ensure your line of accounting conforms to the DFAS Online

            Centralized Master Edit Table (CMET).  LOA conformance will expedite charges through the billing and

            collection process.

 

     6.    For non-DoD, customers who have a partnership agreement with DFAS, please provide the Agency

            Location Code (ALC); supplemental accounting data; obligating document number in addition to billing

            address and POC information.

 

      7.   If you need assistance or have any questions, please contact the appropriate Customer Support person

    2. If there is available funding for your need. If there is a need, but no funding available to pay for that need, then you shall not proceed with approving the requirement.
 
Additionally, assuming you have existing recurring services that cross into the next FY, you must provide your FY10 LOAs, in TIBI, for your PDCs as soon as possible prior to 1 Oct of the next FY. This is to ensure you receive service, and you are properly billed for your current existing recurring services that cross into the next FY.

IMPORTANT BILLING NOTICE FOR DISA, ARMY, NAVY, AIR FORCE, WHS, DEFENSE AGENCIES, AND SELECT NON-DOD CUSTOMERS!   DISA has been directed by the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) to advance bill customers for Enterprise Acquisition Services (i.e. Non-Telecommunication Services) ordered through DITCO.  As some of you may recall, we advanced billed in April 2005 and September 2005 to improve liquidity in the Defense-Wide Working Capital Fund (DW-WCF) to which DISA belongs.  The DW-WCF is again below Departmental cash targets and needs to improve liquidity by advance billing.  Procedures for the August advance billing will be the same as for the previous advance billings.  This action will not cause an increase to your overall obligations since you have already obligated the funds (via MIPRs) to be billed.  Additional information is provided in the attached 28 July 2006 memo signed out by Ms. Tina Jonas, Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller).  Please note that while the memo states that the advance billing was to occur for July, 2006 business, DISA coordinated with the OUSD (C) Revolving Funds division to perform the billing early in August, 2006.  Please address any questions to Mr. Steve Krawczel, Working Capital Fund Division, Chief Financial Executive/Comptroller Directorate at DSN 761-0257 or Mr. Scott Dillon, DWCF Financial Operations Division, DISA Chief Financial Executive/Comptroller Directorate, Scott AFB, IL at DSN 779-9201.  Thank you in advance for your support.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE INDUSTRY PARTNERS DEFENSE INFORMATION
TECHNOLOGY CONTRACTING ORGANIZATION (DITCO)

SUBJECT: Contracting Opportunities: Notice of External Certification Authority (ECA) Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) Implementation

DATE: FEB 22, 2010

This memorandum serves as notice of an impending change to the DITCO Contracting
Opportunities Pages (DCOP) website, https://www.ditco.disa.mil/dcop. Pursuant to Department of Defense (DoD) and Federal regulations, DITCO is required to restrict access to the DCOP website only to those entities/individuals with the proper credentials. This change will enhance the security of the DCOP website by requiring DoD approved ECA PKI authentication, digital signatures, and encryption. The credentials required to access DCOP will be identity and encryption certificates.

Effective April 30, 2010, all industry partners currently accessing DCOP with a User ID and Password, as well as any new users, will be required to obtain a DoD approved PKI certificate issued by an approved external certification authority in order to view solicitations and submit quotes/proposals via DCOP. My staff will be available to provide assistance.

The Information Assurance Support Environment (IASE) provides detailed instructions on obtaining a certificate and is found at http://iase.disa.mil/index2.html. On the left of the landing page under "IA Subject Matter Areas," select "DoD Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)," and then select "DoD PKI External Certification Authorities (ECA)."

The DoD established the ECA program to support the issuance of DoD-approved certificates to industry partners and other external entities and organizations. Information about this program as well as instructions on how to acquire the certificate can be found on each of the websites below.

The TIBI inventory data has been loaded successfully and as you can see, the application is available. Because the section "Notices for 3/1/2007 to 3/31/2007" uses this inventory information to display the services started and services discontinued numbers, you will need to refresh your active profile. This can easily be accomplished by following the few steps listed below:

1. Go to the Profiles section in TIBI.

2. Find your active profile (the check mark icon will be displayed in green).

3. On the detail line for the active profile, there is an icon to the right (double arrows), click on this double arrow icon.

4. There will be a pop-up window indicating that the profile is being refreshed.

5. When the window shuts down, the 1st step of the profile refresh is complete.

6. If you return right away to the Home page, the statement may still be refreshing. This should complete in a short time.

7. Your "Notices for" section should display the most current values.

Sorry for the inconvenience, however we want to make sure that TIBI displays the most accurate and current data to our customers.

If you have any questions, please contact:

All TIBI Excel extracts that include CSA as a column have been updated to correct the following:

1.  The circuit number will now maintain the leading zeroes for those values that should have the leading zeroes.

2.  The full CSA value (all 5 elements) is now extracted into one column and placed at the end of each detail line.  The CSA will now be found in two spots on each detail line  - the individual breakout of CSA elements and the full CSA value at the end.

The extracts that were updated on 2/9/2007 are:

* Services Started
* Services Discontinued
* CSA Inventory listing
* Invoice
* Bills CSA

The Cost detail extract was updated to correct this situation in January 2007.

Sorry for the inconvenience until we get the chance to make the modifications.

Updated: Mon, 08 Dec 2008 00:00:00 GMT

Effective 1 October 2009, the DISA Defense Working Capital Fund (DWCF), Enterprise Acquisition Services (EAS) program fee-for-service (more commonly known as the DITCO fee) will be returned from its current 1.25 percent to a more normalized 2 percent fee. In order to give back prior year DWCF profits to our customers, DISA lowered the fee from 2 percent to 1.25 percent back in FY 2006. Starting in FY 2010, the fee will be returned to its original 2 percent, in order to fully recover all of DISA's DWCF EAS program operating costs, thus breaking even (i.e. costs equal revenues) as required by the DoD Financial Management Regulation (FMR). This fee increase has been approved by OSD and documented in their Program Budget Decision (PBD) 426, dated November 2008.

19 Nov 2007 - Attention TIBI customers that have the TIBI ARO role - Due to requirements by the CCB, effective 1 December 2007 the Authorized Requesting Official (ARO) role will no longer be able to access the Telecommunication Inventory and Billing Information (TIBI) system.

 A new role will need to be requested through the DISA Direct Registration application which can be accessed using the following link: www.disadirect.disa.mil/products/asp/welcome.asp to continue using TIBI. A listing of all role descriptions is available under the Registration Center heading, Registration link.

 If your only TIBI role is an ARO, then you will need to reregister for a different role to retain TIBI access. If you have additional roles, such as, AFO, LAFO, ABO, or APO then you will still be able to access TIBI. If you do not, you will need to have one of the other authorized TIBI roles to retain access. The ABO role has the same permissions in TIBI as the ARO role.

 Direct all DDOE Registration questions (role requests) to:

- DISN Customer Call Center - CONUS ONLY 800-554-3476 Option 1 / DSN 312-850-4790 Option 1
