The information collection requirement
is necessary to maintain the safety of contractors and U.S. Armed
Forces while ensuring that the U.S. Government is not doing
business with entities at odds with American interests. JCXS
contains two modules, the Joint Contingency Contracting System
(JCCS), which evaluates vendors for possible approval or acceptance
to do business with and have access to U.S. military installations
around the world, and the Civilian Arming Authorization Management
System (CAAMS), which provides a standardized and automated process
for the submission, review, approval, and compliance management of
the contractor arming process. JCXS is the DoD's agile, responsive,
and global provider of Joint expeditionary acquisition business
solutions that fulfill mission-critical requirements while
supporting interagency collaboration—to include, but not limited
to, contracting, finance, spend analysis, contract close-out,
staffing, strategic sourcing, and reporting.
