The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is seeking industry responses to support the NFC Forward Program, an effort aimed at modernizing human resource and payroll system solutions for the National Finance Center (NFC) and its customers.

To remain effective, adaptable, and capable of meeting the evolving needs of Government agencies, NFC is pursuing the NFC Forward Initiative. In 2024, NFC launched NFC Forward with a comprehensive assessment of NFC’s existing operations and architecture, as well as external market and customer needs. The assessment culminated in the development of the NFC Forward Business Case Analysis and selection of NFC’s target modernization architecture for HR and payroll. NFC Forward will replace NFC’s outdated payroll and personnel system with a cloud-based SaaS solution that combines payroll processing and HR management functions into a single unified system.

Key priorities of the modern architecture include:

  • Mitigate the aging payroll processing risk for NFC’s 680,000 Federal employees with a modern cloud solution
  • Streamline operations and increase processing efficiency for NFC shared service operations and customer HR operations through an integrated HR and payroll solution
  • Provide an intuitive, consistent employee experience for HR activities for customer end users such as Federal HR staff, mission managers, and mission employees.
  • Improve data quality and introduce next-generation capabilities like artificial intelligence, business process reengineering, and advanced reporting and analytics for elevated human capital management (HCM)
  • Strengthen the cybersecurity posture of the NFC and its customers to safeguard the critical payroll and personnel systems and sensitive data through modern technologies and integration capabilities
