Statement of Work For Integration of DoD Data to Terrorist Watchlist Phase II 1. PURPOSE. The Defense Intelligence Agency's (DIA) Joint Intelligence Task Force for Combating Terrorism (JITF-CT) proposes to obtain all-source intelligence analysts to identify and integrate Defense derived data into the Terrorist Screening Center administered Terrorist Screening Database via the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) in support of its combating terrorism and defense of the Homeland missions. The Contractor personnel will work with the Government to achieve this objective. 2. BACKGROUND. The primary mission of the JITF-CT is to provide timely and accurate global terrorism threat intelligence support to Department of Defense policy-makers and operational commanders at all echelons of command: national, theater, and tactical during peace, crisis, and war whether involved in unilateral, bilateral, or multinational operations. As such, JITF-CT intelligence analysts are responsible for all aspects of Tier 1 Terrorist groups and are responsible for ensuring Defense data is integrated into other US roles and mission, to include watchlisting. 3. OBJECTIVE. The overall objective of this task involves the Contractor conducting intelligence analysis of Defense intelligence data to identify known or suspected terrorists and nominate these to NCTC for entry into the TIDE database, for inclusion in the NCTC Terrorist Identities database, and for onward movement of the information to the Terrorist Screening Center (TSC), to include nominations for no-fly or selectee lists as indicated by provided criteria. 4. SCOPE OF WORK. The Contractor shall perform the following tasks for this effort. The Contractor shall provide eleven intelligence analysts with the requisite intelligence analysis and writing skills to accomplish the following tasks. These analysts will be assigned to the JITF-CT Division that supports the US terrorism watchlisting effort. Nine of the eleven Analysts will be required to work at the Contractor?s off-site, cleared facility or other appropriate facilities in the National capital region after an initial two week orientation at the National Media Exploitation Center (NMEC) on JITF-CT internal analytical business processes. The Contractor's off-site facility will have full JWICS connectivity, SIPRNET connectivity, and secure telecommunications to ensure full collaboration between on-site and off-site analysts. Two of the analysts will work at the NMEC or DIAC depending upon space availability and act as a full open conduit between the offsite analysts and JITF-CT/DoD operations that take place at NMEC and elsewhere. Work will be conducted on a schedule that is conducive to collaboration with JITF-CT analysts assigned to the watchlisting mission, i.e. the core hours will reflect those of the JITF-CT analysts. 4.1 ALL-SOURCE INTELLIGENCE ANALYSIS. The scope of the analysis will focus on: 1) systematically and deliberately searching DoD data sets assessed as likely to contain information on known or suspected terrorists, 2) Identify and record information in the datasets related to known or suspected terrorists, 3) Cross check the identified information against other intelligence holdings available to DIA to ensure completeness of information and to avoid reporting duplication, 4) Compile collected/checked information 5) Formatting of compiled information into watchlisting report format for review by a senior analyst 6) Correct reports as needed based on the review and prepare for wide dissemination via record message traffic, 7) careful tracking of checked datasets and documents via a means specified by the Government to ensure that all are reviewed at least once but not repetitively. The Contractor shall produce the watchlisting nomination reports using Microsoft Word and Outlook. The Contractor shall perform the required tasks by fusing all-source, multi-discipline intelligence data derived from counterterrorism and counterintelligence activities, particularly DoD data holdings will be used to populate the US terrorism watchlist, warn of pending attacks and support operations directed against terrorists and former regime intelligence personnel involved in terrorism and threats to US and coalition personnel and facilities. The contractor shall document all information sources and maintain reference lists. The Contractor shall produce a hardcopy and softcopy intelligence assessment as required by the Government.

The scope of Analyst duties will include production of final draft watchlisting nomination reports based on raw information collected and analyzed by contract, government, and military analysts, related to watchlisting, for onward movement to NCTC and other members of the US watchlisting community via JITF-CT/DIA. The Contractor shall ensure the reports are correctly formatted, classified, addressed, and matched against standing collection requirements. In addition, Contractor shall ensure that information contained within the reports is intelligible, cogent, comprehensive, and understandable, and will also ensure that all reports use proper grammar and spelling.
