Contract Obligation Bridge Service (Manual Reconciliation Bureau)

A specialized reconciliation bureau that acts as a human-in-the-loop intermediary between NASA/DoD facility managers' legacy systems. The service ingests monthly SAP and CMM extracts, maps obligations across both systems using domain expertise in government accounting rules, identifies phantom task order needs, and delivers a unified monthly reconciliation report plus corrected journal entries ready for both systems. No software integration required—pure operational excellence and government accounting knowledge.

Original Problem

Government agencies struggle to reconcile fragmented financial systems when managing complex multi-year facility contracts

NASA and other federal agencies must manually create placeholder task orders in their Contract Management Module (CMM) systems to account for funding obligations across SAP and other legacy financial systems, creating reconciliation nightmares and audit risks. When a single maintenance contract worth $700M+ gets split across multiple funding CLINs and fiscal years, agencies lack integrated visibility into actual work performed versus accounting entries, leading to compliance issues and delayed fund allocation. Current disconnected systems force agencies to maintain parallel records that don't sync, making it impossible to track whether money is actually being spent on the contracted work.
