Commander, Navy Installations Command (CNIC) is seeking to modernize by replacing its
existing retirement/pension system potential viable FedRAMP-Authorized Solutions in the
marketplace. The goal of this request is to provide CNIC a Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) to
estimate costs, timeline, and level of effort with developing a new implementation plan,
implementation, and migration of CNIC current retirements solutions to a new modern retirements
system. CNIC encourages potential interested parties to provide any relevant comments or
feedback they deem prudent.
1. TASK/TITLE:
CNIC, Fleet & Family Readiness (F&FR) Headquarters (HQ) Non-Appropriated Funds (NAF)
NAF Enterprise Applications & Support (N6Q2) is seeking a contractor to provide a path to replace
the CNIC Retirement Information Management System (CRIMS) for Fleet and Family Readiness
(N9) and NAF Information Technology (IT) N6Q. The current CRIMS is outdated and lacks the
capabilities CNIC requires to efficiently manage all CNIC employees’ pension and benefits. The
outcome of this effort will produce costs associated with a pension system solution, an
implementation plan for replacing CRIMS, and the implementation for replacing CRIMS in
support of agency-wide pension processing functions.
2. BACKGROUND:
CNIC F&FR, HQ, with a detachment located in Millington, Tennessee, is the U.S. Navy’s Non-
Appropriated Fund Instrumentality (NAFI) program for a variety of recreational, social, and
community support programs for Navy personnel, their dependents, and other authorized patrons
worldwide. The primary programs provided through CNIC F&FR are revenue-generating
including food and beverage operations (clubs, restaurants and snack bars), specialty retail
(bowling pro shop, golf pro shop, auto hobby, crafts, recreation), lodging (official and recreational)
and programs (golf, marinas, tickets and tours, movies, childcare, sports, fitness, and youth
activities). There are currently over 100 installations among 11 regions around the world to be
affected by this project along with CNIC F&FR in Millington.
CNIC operates a defined benefit retirement program for eligible NAF employees. There are
approximately 7,400 active defined benefit participants and 3,700 former employees who are

receiving benefit payments from the Plan. CNIC is required to produce accurate retirement
calculations. This process necessitates a unique database that stores retirement data and provides
retirement calculation tools. CNIC is also required by the Office of SECNAV to maintain
independent third-party reviews of the calculations produced.
CRIMS is the pension system of record. E-Room is the centralized case management system of
record, SAP HR is the HR system of record, and ADP Vantage is the payroll system of record,
however these are subject to change. The pension system was installed and configured in 2013 and
while upgrades and enhancements have been made over time, the functionality has remained
relatively the same. It is a multi-part custom solution with data stored in a SQL server within CNIC
GovCloud. The front end is a custom Access DB connected to the SQL server via ODBC. Access
is a full custom front end that allows some ability to search an employee’s service history,
contributions, payroll, benefit calculations, etc. This is done through custom Access Forms running
stored procedures within SQL which can be exported in Word and Excel formats. There is currently
no request tracking system and information collection is performed through email exchange and
phone call follow-ups.
3 OBJECTIVES:
CNIC’s Retirement Program is seeking a contractor to provide detailed information on a pension
system solution to meet and accommodate NAFI evolving pension needs. The FedRAMP SaaS
solution or allowable private hosting on a FedRAMP-authorized platform will satisfy the
replacement of the current pension system (CRIMS) and the case management repository.
