Slide4GCSS-A: Global Combat Support System - Army
What is it?:
An Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) tool to integrate the ordering and payment of supply across various classes. Who in my formation work with it?: S4, SPO, Maintenance Warrants, S8, CO XOsWhy should I care about it?: This is the most efficient way for a unit to show demand and procure necessary items. However, it is also the easiest way to burn through a BDE Budget without proper oversight! How can I leverage it?: Put in place best practices to prioritize spending, getting the right part for the right mission and enhance my unit’s overall readiness.What can I do to best utilize ZPARK:Educate all users, Commanders, and decision makersCreate a unit SOP for approval, ordering, and purchasingReview the ESR against the ZPARK on a daily basisPersonally Engage

Slide7Field Ordering Officer / Paying Agent
Field Ordering Officer (FOO): Responsible for executing micro-purchases. Trained by the MICC. Uses SF-44’s (Booklet issued by MICC)
Pay Agent: Carries cash and pays vendors according to FOO’s SF-44. Trained by Disbursing Agent (FMSU) and is issued cash by FMSU.Recommend 3 of each per Battalion. High risk to rely on 1 PAX to carry all of the cash.Ensure that FOO/PA are trained and packets are submitted to FMSU prior to alertsInclude FOO/PA inspections during SAV’s.Ensure GRB+1 units front load FOO/PA during alerts to allow issuance of SF-44 / Cash.
Bottom Line:
Without trained and certified FOO’s / PA’s; the deploying unit’s commander loses a valuable asset for sustained contingency operations.

Does:
- Serves as the only party responsible to obligate funds on behalf of the US Government- Advises and educates the Command Team on business and contracting matters (Business Advisor)- Accepts requirement packages from units to source through the proper channels- Advises units how to properly prepare and optimize the package for contracting action- Follows laws and regulations that if broken, can end careers and send the KO to jail- Sources what the unit needs, not necessarily what it wants, to accomplish the mission- Competes requirements to get the best price for the Government based on unit needs- Works with the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) to ensure contract performance standards
Does not:

- “Make it happen” or “Make it go away”
Bottom Line:
The
KO is a Tenant
U
nit Contracting Office assigned to the Installation. Creates contracts based on unit requirements. Falls under a Contracting Support Brigade and MICC.
