PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

Army Materiel Command (AMC) Enterprise Process Improvement Documentation 20 May 2020

V.9

General Information

1. GENERAL: This is a non-personal services contract that will provide the AMC community with expertise and tools to develop End-to-End (E2E) process documentation solutions that focuses on optimizing the Organic Industrial Base (OIB). This documentation will include such items as block flow diagrams, process flow diagrams, and process maps. The Government shall not exercise any supervision or control over the contract service providers performing the services herein. The contract service providers shall be accountable solely to the contractor who, in turn is responsible to the Government.

1.1. Description of Services/Introduction: The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform as defined in this Performance Work Statement except for those items specified as government furnished property and services. The contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract.

1.2. Background: AMC completed a full operational assessment of all AMC LCMCs and Depots/Arsenals to evaluate the readiness and efficiency of the depot operations. One of the major findings determined the AMC enterprise had a critical capability gap in end-to-end processes (E2E) and documentation. This effort also assessed key LCMC activities that impact OIB performance. Through this effort, AMC has identified numerous improvement opportunities that in total would transform OIB operational performance to better support of Army logistics.

This gap along with standardization of these processes and the implementation of sustainment business rules are the final stages of completing an efficient and effective framework to managing the industrial base operations. This initiative builds off other strategic analysis previously performed, as the AMC community continues to drive substantial and lasting improvements to the industrial base operations.

1.3. Objective: (E2E) Process Documentation and Standardization:

Contractor shall provide process documentation and standardizations solutions to capture improvement opportunities in support of industrial base operations. This will include, but is not limited to; supply chain management, logistics management, production management, and financial management to improve efficiency, capacity, throughput, and repair cycle times. Additionally, when required, the contractor shall perform assessments and analyses to support recommendations for repurposing the OIB.

1.4. Period of Performance: The period of performance shall be for one five year ordering period.
