Description

Mission Integrated Personnel and Pay System-Army (IPPS-A)

The Integrated Personnel and Pay System-Army Increment II (IPPS-A Inc II) provides an integrated, multi-Component, personnel and pay system that streamlines existing Human Resources (HR) systems and processes by enhancing efficiency and accuracy of personnel and pay procedures in support of 1.1 million Soldiers. This program is an essential building block to reform the Department of the Army towards achieving greater performance and affordability in support of the National Defense Strategy and the Congressional audit mandate. The IPPS-A program to date has completed a phased deployment of Military Human Resource and talent management capabilities across all Army components (Active, Guard and Reserve). This includes all Army National Guard units in the 54 states and territories into one single solution. The program has subsumed 120 systems/instances and six partial capabilities bringing the Army's total military force into a single HR authoritative system. In accordance with the Acquisition Strategy approved by the Army Acquisition Executive on 21 June 2022, the program office will incrementally release Army Military Payroll, additional Human Resource (HR) Capabilities (e.g., Archiving, Talent and Strength Management, and Audit), and HR Enhancements to the deployed baseline. In 4QFY24, IPPS-A began migration from the legacy infrastructure hosting solution with Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) to a Cloud Hosting solution. As part of our transition from Waterfall Development to an Agile Development Framework, the program is transitioning to the Software Acquisition Pathway. In 1QFY25, the program awarded the Solution Provider bridge contract to enable competition for the new Product Support and Delivery contract to be awarded in 1QFY26 that provides maintenance and system enhancements enabling subsumption of legacy systems. FY 2026 Base dollars in the amount of $164.600 million supports Agile software development and incremental delivery of additional capabilities for Army Military Payroll as well as additional HR capabilities to enable subsumption of 18 full and four partial additional legacy systems. These funds will continue cloud migration prior to the legacy DISA infrastructure end of life in FY28. These critical investments support the Army to be audit ready and achieve cost savings through cloud migration, legacy system subsumption and delivery of the Army Military Payroll capability. Funds also support other enabling infrastructure and software upgrades to include support for Identity, Credential, Access Management (ICAM) implementation achieving zero-trust compliance. In 1QFY26, the program will award the new Product Support and Delivery contract that provides maintenance and system enhancements enabling subsumption of legacy systems.
