Performance Work Statement For Network Analytic Support and Liaison Services
1.0. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES/GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1. Description of Services. The requirement is for access to a global network of experts in commercial tradecraft, competitive intelligence, and secure supply chain structures, experience working with national intelligence agencies, and access to commercial proprietary data sources that can be used for purposes of military targeting. The requirement calls for on-site presence of contractor liaisons who can leverage this commercial tradecraft global network and proprietary data sources working with targeting professionals from the 612 Air Operations Center (AOC) Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Division (ISRD), subordinate to 12th Air Force (12 AF) Air Forces Southern (AFSOUTH), Davis-Monthan Air Force Base (DMAFB), AZ. The contractor liaisons will provide daily analytic support and sustained mentorship in support of the 612 AOC Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Division.
1.1.1. Mission. The 612 AOC plans, command and controls, executes, and assesses air, space, and information operations to meet Secretary of Defense, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Commander, United States Southern Command (USSOUTHCOM) taskings across the full spectrum of military operations. AFSOUTH’s mission is to plan, prioritize, execute, assess, and support joint all-domain Operations, Activities, and Investments to influence relevant actors in order to mitigate risk to global U.S. interests, strengthen regional partners, and counter threats in the USSOUTHCOM AOR. AFSOUTH’s primary lines of effort include Awareness: Understand Actor’s Motivations & Capabilities; Access: Gain, Expand, Maintain Access & Presence; and Partnering: Improve Security Enhancing Partnerships.
1.1.2. Background. As the National Defense Strategy (NDS) describes, we are living in a “decisive decade” as geopolitics, technology, economics, and environmental changes present transnational challenges for the Department of Defense. Competitors use coercive approaches that fall below the level of armed conflict known as “gray zone methods” which threaten U.S. national interests within the USSOUTHCOM Area of Responsibility (AOR). The NDS warns “as the pacing challenge, the People’s Republic of China (PRC) employs state-controlled forces, cyber and space operations, and economic coercion against the U.S. and its Allies and partners. Russia employs disinformation, cyber, and space operations against the U.S. and our Allies and partners, and irregular proxy forces in multiple countries.” Not only is the U.S. charged with sustaining and strengthening U.S. deterrence against those malign state actors, but AFSOUTH must remain vigilant of persistent threats posed by other eternal state actors, regional malign actors, violent extremist organizations (VEO), and transnational criminal organizations (TCO).
VEO and TCO threat networks present a growing asymmetrical threat to U.S. interests within the USSOUTHCOM AOR. Global interconnectivity, access to substantial resources and the democratization of technology have enabled these networks like never before. They specialize in the movement of a variety of illicit or illicitly obtained commodities and operate with a range of motivations from ideology to economics. These networks often seek to co-opt, infiltrate, take over, and in some cases offer competitive alternatives to state governance institutions to maintain freedom of movement and access to supply chains, which malign state actors could exploit.
In support of USSOUTHCOM lines of effort, AFSOUTH must confront external and regional malign actors almost exclusively below the level of armed conflict, requiring coordination with partner nations, interagency organizations, and DoD elements within and outside of the AOR. Due to the extreme complexity of global threat networks, and low signature in which they operate, successful targeting of these networks requires advanced commercial tradecraft and expertise that leverages cutting edge commercial proprietary data sources. The 612 AOC requires access to a global network of commercial tradecraft experts, experience working in national intelligence agencies, and most importantly access to the latest big data analytics and proprietary data sources that can be used for the illumination, targeting, and arrest of illicit network members in the USSOUTHCOM AOR. Additionally, the 612 AOC requires extensive analytic support in the form targeting and sustained mentorship in structured analytic techniques, autonomous supplier network illumination, supplier ecosystem diligence, and supply chain analysis. Lastly, the 612 AOC requires access and training on the best-in-class, commercial-off-the-shelf social media exploitation and diligence technologies to augment classified Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities in order to better support Special Operations Forces (SOF), expand partnerships with the greater Intelligence Community (IC) and fully prosecute its USSOUTHCOM mission.
1.1.3. Contract Requirements
1.1.3.1. Liaisons. The contractor shall provide two (2) liaisons from the global network who are experts in targeting and analytic support; commercial tradecraft; and sustained analytic mentorship in support of the following four mission areas:
a. Strategic Competition
b. Targeting
c. Counter Terrorism
d. Counter Narcotics
1.1.3.1.1. These four areas will aid AFSOUTH/612 AOC to confront external state actors, regional malign actors, and VEO and TCO threat networks as ordered by the USSOUTHCOM Commander. The overall objective of the four areas is to transform the 612 AOC to be able to identify and deter malign “gray zone” methods, provide more relevant support to theater SOF, conduct intelligence activity more in concert with the National Intelligence Community, remain cutting edge through use of global commercial networks adept with commercial-proprietary big data sets, all while maintaining lethal and non-lethal targeting options.
1.1.3.2. Publicly Available Information (PAI) Tools. The contractor shall select, configure, install, and train on best-in-class, commercial-proprietary media exploitation and diligence technologies to enable classified ISR capabilities, and mission prosecution capabilities.

b. Tailor training and country data sets to AFSOUTH mission sets.
1.1.3.3. Provide tailored commercial intelligence support. Upon request, the contractor shall provide issue-specific and tailored intelligence products that answer a discrete question that the 612 AOC needs answered. For example, the contractor may be called upon to provide a pattern-of life analysis of an illicit actor that resides outside of the USSOUTHCOM area of operations; or a due diligence analysis of a non-U.S. company outside of the USSOUTHCOM area of operations supporting illicit activity in the theater.
