All interested parties are invited to submit comments concerning the following: a. Content of the Statement of Work and Evaluation Factors b. Suggested deletions/additions to draft documents c. Questions applicable to the draft documents STATEMENT OF WORK FOR THE JOINT ANALYTICAL SUPPORT PROGRAM (JASP) BACKGROUND. On 9 July 1985, the Joint Chiefs of Staff established analysis cells at each of the Unified and Specified Commands and provided support to the Joint Warfighting Center (JWFC) and the National Defense University (NDU). Entitled Modern Aids to Planning Program (MAPP), the program consisted of an umbrella systems engineering and technical assistance contract to support the unified and specified commands. Additionally, the program provided a resource pool to continue to assist the Commanders in Chief (CINCs) in obtaining and maintaining interoperable modeling and simulation tools in support of Operations Plan (OPLAN) evaluation; computer assisted training and exercises; assessment of war fighting requirements; and CINC decision-making. The worthiness of the CINC analysis cells that were established was demonstrated during DESERT SHIELD/DESERT STORM. During those campaigns, the CINC analysis cells provided critical advice to command decision makers that impacted on command and control decisions. This new contract support program, entitled the Joint Analytical Support Program (JASP), encompasses both the CINC analytical cells and the Joint Staff. Today, the Joint Staff and the CINC analysis cells continue to play a vital role in the study, analysis, and evaluation of military forces, plans, programs, and strategies. In support of these activities the JS and the CINC analysis cells (including JWFC and NDU)are responsible for conducting joint wargames at various levels and for developing and improving analytical models, techniques, and procedures which are used in studies and analyses. Contractor personnel will interface with all levels of government, from general officers and SES to new recruit and entry-level personnel. The Joint Chief of Staff and CINC analysis cells use and maintain models and simulations developed by other agencies to perform their mission but may develop, acquire, maintain, manage, and improve models or simulations that are unique to their mission or as a prototype demonstration for future application to other CINCs. Contract support is required to assist the JS and the CINC analysis cells with various technical aspects of these activities. 2.0 OBJECTIVES. The objectives of this effort are: to assist the JS and CINC analysis cells in the design, development, test, and implementation of analytical, educational, and training capabilities for Joint models and simulation and to maintain the currency and viability of models and simulations used at the respective sites. 2.1 Scope. This Statement of Work (SOW) defines overall general task areas supporting the Force Structure Resources and Assessment Directorate (J-8) of the Joint Staff and the CINCs. After contract award, the contractor shall perform specific requirements as defined in written Task Management Requests (TMRs) which will be approved by the Contracting Officer (CO). Each TMR will specifically identify work requirements, estimated resources, and schedules. 2.2 Location. Work shall be performed primarily at CINC and Joint staff sites. The contractor will be required to provide his own off-site facility and may perform activities at that facility. Deliverables will be to the CINC and 35 locations identified in individual TMRs. Locations are: U.S. ATLANTIC COMMAND -- Norfolk, VA; U.S CENTRAL COMMAND -- MacDill AFB, FL; US EUROPEAN COMMAND -- Vaihingen, Germany; U.S. FORCES COMMAND -- Ft. Mcpherson, GA; U.S. PACIFIC COMMAND -- Camp Smith, Hawaii; U.S. SOUTHERN COMMAND -- Miami, FL ; U.S. SPACE COMMAND -Peterson AFB, CO; U.S. SPECIAL OPERATIONS COMMAND -- MacDill AFB, FL; U.S.STRATEGIC COMMAND -- Offutt AFB, NE; U.S. TRANSPORTATION COMMAND -- Scott AFB, IL; COMBINED FORCES COMMAND -- KOREA -- Seoul, Korea; Joint Staff/J-8 -- The Pentagon, Washington, D.C.; NATIONAL DEFENSE UNIVERSITY -- Ft. McNair, Washington, D.C.. The contractor may be required to perform tasks at other locations, both CONUS and OCONUS, in support of activities within the scope of this SOW.
