Past Projects

Sunset Design was tasked to work with the NAVFAC Business Management System (BMS) Team to design new and revise existing templates and instructions for contracting processes to ensure format standardization for all processes, owners and users.

Sunset Design’s Subject Matter Expert (SME) team member acted as the liaison between the Director of ABMG (the Process Owner Team, Lead for NAVFAC acquisition processes) and individuals who were assigned to write new or refresh existing contracting processes. Sunset Design’s SME team member worked with the process writer and Director of ABMG until an agreement was reached as to the final content of the process. The process was then sent to Sunset Design’s quality control specialist for final review to ensure the process was in the correct format, had no spelling/grammatical errors, and all hyperlinks in the document were correct and active. The final approved process was then transmitted to the BMS Team for upload to the BMS.

Some of the BMS acquisition processes were reviewed/revised numerous times as a result of required revisions due to policy or regulation changes, or as a result of a Corrective Action Request (CAR) submitted by a process user. The NAVFAC acquisition processes were recognized as the model for other NAVFAC Business Line Process Owners. This excellence was largely due to the knowledge of the BMS standards, templates, and the hands-on experience with the NAVFAC BMS Team by Sunset Design’s team.

The IT Specialist team performed programming and maintenance for the NAVFAC BMS Tracking System which was used to manage the BMS processes. The BMS tracking system was a web-based system with an Oracle back-end database. The team created this system for NAVFAC, and performed all maintenance activities. Functionality of the system included database entry, record reconciliation, and a variety of canned reports. The IT Specialist team was responsible for programmatic updates, maintenance of the system, creation of records, and reports.
