    The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is soliciting information through a Request for Information (RFI) on the development of an integrated enterprise-wide asset lifecycle management system, designated as the CBP Asset Management System (CAMS). This system aims to address challenges posed by managing 1,014,904 assets valued at over $8 billion, currently handled across 13 disparate systems. CAMS seeks to enhance asset tracking and accountability, minimize unnecessary acquisitions, and ensure efficient mission execution by consolidating data and functionalities into a comprehensive solution. The desired system will be built on open architecture principles to ensure interoperability and flexibility. It will support various operational scenarios, including procurement, maintenance, compliance, financial management, and mission execution. Respondents are invited to provide information on their solutions, addressing corporate capabilities and how their systems can meet CAMS requirements. Responses are due by August 25, 2025, and all submitted information may be subject to public disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act. This initiative exemplifies the CBP's commitment to modernizing its asset management capabilities and ensuring readiness and efficiency in safeguarding the nation’s borders and facilitating trade and travel.
    APMD_ACQPGM_OFAM_CAMS_RFI_250721_v2.docx
    U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) for a comprehensive, enterprise-wide asset lifecycle management system called the CBP Asset Management System (CAMS). This system aims to replace 13 disparate systems, mitigate risks, improve asset accountability, enhance information sharing, and prevent unnecessary asset acquisition. CBP manages over a million assets valued at over $8 billion, and the current fragmented approach leads to inefficiencies and poor decision-making. CAMS is envisioned as an integrated, commercial-off-the-shelf solution built on open architecture principles, interoperable with existing systems, and offering mobile functionality. The RFI encourages vendors to provide information on their corporate capabilities and solutions to meet critical business requirements, considering six operational scenarios outlined in the document. Responses are due via email to Darnell.F.Flowers@cbp.dhs.gov by the date specified on SAM.gov, with specific formatting guidelines.
    APMD_OPS_STAFF_CAMS_RFI_Consolidated_Q and A_.pdf
    CBP's RFI outlines the need for a comprehensive Asset Management System (CAMS) to replace 13 disparate legacy systems, including APATS, CAMITS, CARMAC, EMRKS, FACTS, ICAD, Maximo, Maximo for Aviation, and PastPerfect. The new system aims to unify redundant processes, standardize asset recording, and decrease discrepancies in accountability and tracking for over one million personal and operational assets. Key requirements include integration with productivity suites, SAP, and TRIRIGA, mobile functionality with offline capabilities, and advanced analytics for decision-making. CAMS is envisioned as an active 'system of enforcement' that embeds compliant workflows and provides a robust audit trail, rather than a passive 'system of record.' The solution must adhere to Zero Trust, DHS FedRAMP, FIPS 199, and FISMA cybersecurity frameworks, support role-based access, and offer flexible training formats. CBP is seeking a COTS solution and will utilize a hybrid support model post-deployment, with vendors responsible for data migration from existing systems.
