Reporting Period: Month 4 of 18 (18 Aug – Sep 17, 2026), submitted Oct 5, 2026 per the CDRL A008 cadence. The current program position is Month 5 — a monthly CDRL necessarily reports the last completed month, so this report sits one period behind the Dashboard and the Weekly Status Report by design. Submitted to M. Whitcombe (COR). This is a contractual deliverable, not just an internal update — late or incomplete submission is itself a QASP finding. This monthly CDRL rolls up from the internal Weekly Status Report cadence used to track progress between formal submissions.
Accomplishments This Period
- System Security Plan (CDRL A005) accepted by the ISSO and COR on 16 Aug — fifth consecutive on-time CDRL acceptance
- P00011 ramp closed: all 22 added roles cleared FOPBA suitability determination and reached planned allocation within this period
- Mobile-responsive front-end build entered full sprint cadence across both the citizen portal and caseworker views
- Benefits-Eligibility Verification API gateway provisioned in the ATO-compliant environment; first contract tests passing against FOPBA's test endpoint
- First automated Section 508 regression pass completed using the tool licensed under Mod P00006 — no new conformance defects introduced by the mobile redesign
- Data Migration Plan (CDRL A009) drafted and internally reviewed ahead of its 15 Oct due date
Staffing Status
All 35 Base Period roles are onboarded and at planned FTE% per the Resource Plan. The 22 roles added by Mod P00011 completed onboarding during this period; the pacing constraint was FOPBA suitability determination throughput rather than recruiting, since the all-onshore/US-persons requirement (PWS 6.1) removes any offshore surge option. No open reqs, no attrition this period.
Concerns / Risks
- R-01: the ATO assessment remains the Task Order's dominant risk at 9 (High/High) — Milestone Gate 1 is now under 90 days out; the pre-assessment scan window opens 15 Oct
- R-04 raised to 6 (Medium/High) on 02 Jul following P00011 — cumulative modification growth now stands at +$4,154,000 against a $3,550,000 award baseline, reviewed by the CO at every monthly status meeting
- I-05 (GFE VPN latency) missed its 15 Aug target and was escalated to the COR on 27 Aug. Root cause sits inside FOPBA's network; the off-peak deployment workaround is holding schedule but constrains the deployment window as build volume rises
- Legacy data formatting inconsistencies (R-02) continue to require cleansing-rule maintenance ahead of each conversion dry run
Upcoming Milestones (Next 60 Days)
- Data Migration Plan & Validation Report submission — CDRL A009, due Oct 15, 2026
- ATO pre-assessment scan window opens Oct 15, 2026, 60 days ahead of formal A007 submission (R-01 mitigation)
- Section 508 / VPAT Compliance Test Report — CDRL A006, due Nov 14, 2026, with the independent auditor engaged

Funding & Burn Rate
| Current FFP Value | $7,704,000 (Base $6,376,000 + Option $1,328,000) |
| Cumulative Invoiced to Date | $1,470,000 — 19.1% of current FFP value at Month 4, against 22.3% of the period of performance elapsed |
| Burn Rate vs. Schedule | Tracking modestly below the straight-line mark. Mod P00011 added $4,040,000 of value in Month 2, but the 22 associated roles only reached full allocation inside this reporting period, so four months of elapsed time carry roughly two months of full-team burn. Burn rate steps up from Month 6 and is expected to converge with elapsed time by Milestone Gate 1. No re-baselining recommended |
| Value Remaining (all periods) | $6,234,000 |
Action Items / Government Decisions Needed
