Attachment 2A Statement of Objectives (SOO)

1.0 PURPOSE AND BACKGROUND

The Army Deputy Chief of Staff (DCS), G-4, is responsible for the integration of the Army's supply chain, Logistics and Installation policies, programs, and sustainment functions. The Army G-4’s current enterprise support model relies on reactive, resource-intensive staff augmentation that forces Government leadership to act as daily task managers rather than strategic planners. This 'level-of-effort' approach creates artificial silos between logistics analysis and legislative integration.

The Government seeks to transition from purchasing labor hours to procuring end-to-end strategic outcomes. The objective of this CSO is to acquire an innovative, commercial Managed Service or "Center of Excellence" that replaces the traditional contract man-year model with a proactive, turnkey solution. The vendor will own the processes, enabling technology, and execution methodologies to deliver cross-functional expertise, superior analytical products, and seamless legislative integration.
