DoD RFI: MC&FP Defense Casualty Information Processing System (DCIPS)

General Services Administration (GSA) Assisted Acquisition Services (AAS) is releasing this Request for Information (RFI) on behalf of the Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense (DASD), Military Community and Family Policy (MC&FP).

The purpose of this RFI is to assist the Government in conducting market research focused on identifying Veterans Technology Services 2 (VETS 2) contract holders that are interested in and capable of supporting the Defense Casualty Information Processing System (DCIPS) requirement. This information will be used for market research only. The Government is not obligated to release a future solicitation. The MC&FP is directly responsible for programs and policies that establish and support community quality of life programs for service members and their families worldwide. The MC&FP Casualty and Mortuary Affairs (CMA) Directorate is responsible for leading, developing, and executing casualty and mortuary affairs to support DoD-directed missions for present and past conflicts, and serving as lead agent for the Defense Casualty Information Processing System (DCIPS). DCIPS is a web-enabled database which processes CMA reports, provides case management of casualties, and allows for the interactive exchange of data between the military services’ CMA Offices, their regional centers, and the military commanding units responsible for the reporting of service member casualties. The system also provides DoD with official casualty statistics. A casualty can be defined as any person who is lost to an organization by reason of having been declared beleaguered, besieged, captured, deceased, detained, or Duty Status – Whereabouts Unknown (DUSTWUN). Data within the system includes personnel (HR) and personal data about the casualty, the cause/circumstances of the casualty, information about the Next of Kin (NOK) and other interested parties, information about the disposition of the decedents’ remains, personal effects, (processing of personal effects, location and status of remains), and the issuance and tracking of claims and reimbursement of expenses for transportation and burial costs. DCIPS allows CMA Offices within each of the military services to enter and retrieve information about occurrences of injuries, illnesses, wounded in action, missing, deceased, killed in action, repatriated, and other categories of personnel, as defined in DoD Instruction (DoDI) 1300.18 and applicable military service regulations, and provides for the associated reporting capabilities.
