AMIC Organizational Chart

Program Management

• Pre-Award: Program Manager (PM) interfaces with requirement owner, contracting officer and other MFT members to conduct job analysis, risk analysis, formulate eval criteria, and PWS

• Award: PM typically performs SSEB duties and functional SMES typically take a Technical or Past Performance Factor lead or evaluator role

• Post-Award: PM leads MFT in post award mgt and ensures cost, schedule, performance standards are met. Additionally, leads various ancillary processes and tasks such as conducting PMRs, AERs, Award/Incentive Fee Boards, CPARs, risk mgt, CPI, Life-cycle mgmt, budgeting/POMing, change mgt, etc. Lead for Program Mgt Plan, ensuring adherence to it, and updating it as necessary.

Questions to Industry Do you have any insights for implementing the Agile Combat Employment (ACE) requirement?

We have a schedule based on a 60-day transition for all sites on the contract. Do you feel this is enough time for an adequate transition?

Are you aware of any other contract vehicles (i.e. GSA, ACES) that cover this type of service?

Are there areas you would identify as high risk in the performance of this contract that would drive costs? If so, can you recommend mitigation?

What efficiencies can be gained from either a single vs multiple award IDIQ and/or an IDIQ vs C- Type Contract?

What opportunities exist for having an OCONUS FFP CLIN that includes Labor, COLA (if applicable), and hazard pay in lieu of requesting a proposal for each new OCONUS location?

With regards to ACE, what PWS language do you recommend to ensure the following are considered during proposal planning:

Limitations for country access Improving responsiveness/agility to support requests Ensuring speed in response time

Battlefield Airborne Communications Node (BACN) Program

Rob Anderson

4 Dec 2023

Mission

Provides military commanders, warfighters, and emergency/first responder personnel with a versatile means of exchanging voice and data information between disparate air, ground, and maritime entities including host nation, joint, coalition, and disaster response forces.

Capabilities include voice relay, bridging, and an airborne server capability for data storage.

Military commanders and disaster response forces employ BACN capabilities to augment theater/area communications and support forces across the range of military and disaster relief operations. BACN reduces communications line-of-sight issues, system incompatibilities, SATCOM dependencies, and provides greater range and flexibility for communications links.

Scope of Work

• BACN Aircraft Fleet Maintenance Requirement: The Contractor provides qualified personnel and materiel required to successfully operate, maintain, upgrade, and support the BACN E-11A aircraft fleet (platform only) to sustain reliable and effective flight operations.
