Summary of Purpose, Goals, and Benefits: 

- The United States Mint's Retail Sales System (RSS) was developed to support the numismatic 

market and to take advantage of (at the time) new technology to address the Mint's business 

requirements. 

- The RSS customer base, at the end of FY 2012, was 1.1 million users.

- The RSS system processed more than $413 million in sales in FY 2012.

- RSS was originally an eGovernment initiative under the President's Management Agenda, 

Goal 4, Expanded Electronic Government.

- RSS provides an automated mail order processing, inventory management, and 

merchandising fulfillment functions.

Accomplishments: 

- In PY 2013, the Mint achieved sales a Customer Service Index (CSI) of 95.1 percent, well 

above the federal average of 77 percent.

- In PY 2013, the Mint had an on time delivery rate of 98.5%, slightly below FY 2012.

Planned Objectives and Accomplishments: 

In CY 2013, Order Management System - II (OMS-II) was initiated to replace the Retail Sales 

System (RSS). That project is being reported separately as a major investment.

As a consequence, RSS will continue in service beyond its estimated retirement in FY 2015. We 

are now estimating implementation of OMS-II in the late FY 2014 timeframe. Decommission 

costs not currently known may require the Mint to continue funding RSS at a reduced cost in FY 

2015. Until then, RSS will continue to serve the needs of the Mint and its numismatic customers.
Development, modernization, and enhancement timeframe: 

BY+1: The Mint will have developed and implemented the replacement system (OMS-II) for the 

RSS.

Summary of Purpose, Goals, and Benefits: 

The United States Mint's numismatic retail systems are currently supported by the Integrated 

Retail Information System (IRIS). IRIS is comprised of systems, applications, and business 

processes, all in constant communication to effectively support the USM's sales function for 

numismatists and the general public. While the retail sales system was state-of-the-art at the 

time of implementation in 2001, United States Mint has failed to implement vendor-provided 

upgrades to the application software, resulting in an environment that fails to meet United States 

Mint business needs and presenting unacceptable risks. Specifically, the operating system and 

application software cannot be supported through standard service contracts and are 

unsupported by their vendors. Additionally, the hardware is no longer manufactured and cannot 

be replaced with new equipment in the event of failure. 

Some general facts about the USM numismatic business:

-617,000 unique purchasers, with numismatic revenue of $477.6 million and 5.6 million units 

sold in FY2012.

-802,000 unique purchasers, with numismatic revenue of $723.9 million and 7.3 million units 

sold in FY2011.

It is imperative that the USM replace the current IRIS environment so it can conduct its business 

in a productive, reliable and secure manner.

The primary purpose of this initiative is to replace the outdated systems and eliminate the risk of 

IRIS environment failure. The objective is to replace the systems supporting the numismatic 

business process and to provide United States Mint customers with an experience that keeps 

pace with advancements in both technology and business functionality in the retail industry. 

The OMS II will specifically address Strategic Goal 3: Responsibly expand the numismatic 

program.

The scope includes:

-Replacing the IRIS environment with state-of-the-art capability. This includes replacement of 

the OMS e-Commerce Web platform, infrastructure, Warehouse Management System (WMS), 

and Contact Center Operations.

-Integrating the new solution with USM internal and external systems that provide financial and 

inventory control, and payment processing functions.
The USM will contract with a full service provider to meet the end-to-end e-commerce needs of 

the retail sales business.

Return on Investment: 

In addition to the enhanced capabilities that the new system will provide, there are improved 

business processes and the utilization of cloud computing, which are non-financial benefits. 

The financial benefits include contracted savings calculated as the difference between the IRIS 

"As-Is" scenario and the full service provider. 

In addition to the reduction in the number of internal resources required for contract 

administration, improving internal processes, and reducing order fulfillment/inventory 

management staff. 

The opportunity cost of avoiding a break in service which would negatively impact the USM 

revenue generation was not factored into the return on investment as a benefit.
