JCXS Overview
JCXS is DoD’s agile, responsive, and global provider of joint expeditionary acquisition
business solutions that fulfill mission-critical requirements, while supporting
interagency collaboration. The JCXS contingency deployment platform delivers application
integration and business support services, and a portfolio of web-based business
solutions for military, government, and civilian organizations that face the challenges
of international contracting in contingency and expeditionary environments.
JCXS delivers business support services: rapid application development, integration
with Federal Procurement Data System – Next Generation (FPDS-NG), business intelligence
reporting, host nation vendor vetting, and vendor management. Web-based business
solutions are hosted on the JCXS platform, which was built using a secure and flexible
Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). Contingency applications are integrated using
JCXS’ existing infrastructure to reduce software development lead-time and cost.
Contingency Business Environment (CBE) Tool Use The DoD CBE Guidebook highlights several electronic business tools that have enduring use for future contingency environments.
Mandatory Usage
When supporting contingency operations, as defined in the CBE Guidebook, two JCXS tools are currently mandatory: the 3in1 Tool and the Acquisition Cross-Servicing Agreements (ACSA) Global Automated Tracking and Reporting System (AGATRS) :
- 3in1 Tool automates the Standard Form (SF) 44 process for immediate, over-the-counter purchases of services and supplies
- AGATRS Tool automates the ACSA process
No other electronic tools will be used to fulfill the same capabilities as 3in1 and AGATRS.
Discretionary Usage
The four remaining JCXS tools in the Guidebook are discretionary and should be evaluated for use, tailored to the size, duration, and complexity of the contingency. The four tools also available for use are:
- Contingency Acquisition Support Model (cASM)
- Dollars & Sense (D&S)
- The Joint Contingency Contracting System (JCCS)
- Theater Business Clearance (TBC)

History of JCXS
The DoD first deployed the JCCS program as part of its Global War on Terror (GWOT)
in 2006, to secure supplies and services necessary for our Warfighters and allies
in Iraq and Afghanistan.
For over a decade, JCCS has supported DoD and federal organizations’ stakeholders
in 20 Iraq and 13 Afghanistan Regional Contracting Commands, and 10 Special Operations
Command contracting offices throughout the world. The program has expanded into
Africa and Central Asia as the U.S. government engages in new business in those
regions.
Building on the successful development and delivery of accurate and up-to-date contingency
business information, the JCCS program expanded from a single application to a portfolio
of business solutions for global emergency response, humanitarian assistance, and
expeditionary efforts, ongoing missions, and exercises.
The JCXS team is currently focused on leveraging DOD contingency capabilities and
expanding them meaningfully to other USG agencies that face the challenges of international
contracting with Host Nation vendors, operating with poor infrastructure, and rotating
team assignments.
