B -- ANALYTICAL TOOLS FOR IDENTIFYING KEY CONTRACTOR POC Contact MS. Anne M. Villareale, 703/767-1199/Contracting Officer, ronaldzalimas, 703 767-1190 The defense contract management command (dcmc) is exploring the application of concepts from systems safety engineering, product failureanalysis, or analogous disciplines to more effectively and efficiently administer Department of Defense (DOD) contracts. The objective is to concentrate dcmc surveillance and improvement efforts on those contractor processes or activities that present the greatest risk to successful contract and program completion. Paramount to this objective is to identify those contractor methods that at first would not seem intuitively obvious as majorrisks. Dcmc wants to develop risk management models, algorithms, or other analytical tools that will reliably identify those key processes oractivities. Dcmc'S mission is to provide contract administration services for the Military services and defense agencies. On behalf of the Military services and defense agencies, It inspects and accepts products and services offered by contractors, negotiates and definitizes change orders and other unpriced contractual actions, and issues reports to customers buying activities on contractor progress toward contract and program completion. It also works with contractors to improve design, production, and business management systems and processes. The purpose of this request for information is to explore various solutions for identifying contractor methods that negatively impact timely contract delivery. Contractors are requested to submit a capability statement documenting approaches, methods, tools, guides used to perform failure analysis for comparable efforts. All responses must contain sufficient information to enable evaluation of the capability of thecompany'S to develop a solution. This announcement is not a request for competitive proposals. NO Fee or payment will be made for submittingqualifications. NO Solicitation document exists and NO award is intended on the basis of any response to this advertisement.
