Contractors will be required to perform and participate in directed studies and quick-turn analysis.

Contractor personnel will also assist with the development of Commandant of the Marine Corps' (CMC) initial programming guidance as well as analyze Blue in Support of Green (BISOG) issues. The Contractor will participate in the development and validation of program priorities. The Contractor will also assist with Front-End Assessments (FEAs), Program Objective Memorandum (POM) analysis, Roles and Missions (R&M), and quick-turn assessments. The Contractor should be familiar with the Marine Corps' Planning, Programming, Budgeting, and Execution (PPBE) process.

In addition the contractor will be asked to analyze, evaluate, and provide recommendations for alternative plans, programs and budgets as part of his/her daily and weekly responsibilities. The Contractor will be required to develop, apply, and track performance metrics related to Marine Corps programs. The Contractor will also evaluate accuracy and completeness of Analysis of Alternatives (AoAs). In addition, the Contractor will assist in the development of accreditation and simulation models to include Price Performance Models (PPMs) and Marine Corps program life cycle cost estimates. The contractor should become familiar with top-level fiscal and strategic guidance in support of Marine Corps policies and strategies. The Contractor will be required to be familiar with Marine Corps manpower and equipment readiness processes and methodologies to assist PA&E analysts with analyzing Marine Corps Manpower and O&M investment accounts. • The Contractor shall participate in the analysis of new acquisition requirements as well as conduct studies, analyses, and reviews of acquisition program processes, procedures, practices, and policies that facilitate the use of a capability-based approach in the acquisition of Marine Corps and joint service programs. The Contractor will inform emerging programs and perform technical risk analysis and reliability assessments.
