PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)
FOR TASK ORDER ONE (1)
Office of Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation (OSD-CAPE) Enterprise Visibility and Management of Operating and Support Cost (EVAMOSC)
General Information
1. GENERAL: This is a non-personnel services contract to provide Database Design, Implementation, Operation, and Data Platform Sustainment Services. The Government shall not exercise any supervision or control over the contract service providers performing the services herein. Such 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-personnel services necessary to perform Database Design, Implementation, Operation, and Data Platform Sustainment Services 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: The mission of the Office of the Secretary of Defense Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation (OSD-CAPE) is to provide the Department of Defense (DoD) with timely, insightful and unbiased analysis on resource allocation and cost estimation problems to deliver the optimum portfolio of military capabilities through efficient and effective use of each taxpayer dollar. In achieving this mission, one of OSD-CAPE’s primary goals is to provide data driven insight into the costs of major acquisition programs. This detailed analysis enables responsible budgeting and proactive management decisions so that the Department can control cost and achieve savings. In recent years, the DoD has focused on understanding the costs incurred by weapons systems during the sustainment phase and underlying causes of these cost outcomes. However, despite renewed emphasis on controlling sustainment costs, the DoD lacks complete, accurate, and granular data on operating and support (O&S) costs for many major acquisition programs, including ground vehicles.
1.2.1 10 U.S. Code, Section 2337a (Guidance on Life-Cycle Management) assigns responsibility for “developing and maintaining a database on … actual operating and support costs for major weapons systems” to the Director, CAPE. While OSD-CAPE has historically administered its responsibility for O&S cost data via policy for Military Department data requirements, the enterprise O&S database required by Title 10 does not currently exist within the DoD. The lack of available O&S cost data has made it difficult to calculate sustainment costs for multiple systems, including ground vehicles. To address these deficiencies, OSD-CAPE will develop a data system to simultaneous address current O&S cost data deficiencies and its statutory requirement. The resulting Enterprise Visibility and Management of Operating and Support Costs (EVAMOSC) data system will address known issues with O&S cost data completeness, accuracy, granularity, and reporting frequency.
1.2.2 OSD-CAPE intends to develop and deploy the EVAMOSC data system in increments. This
Performance Work Statement covers the tasks and objectives associated with EVAMOSC Task Order 1, which will aim to meet O&S cost data requirements for U.S. Army weapons systems during the base period.
1.3 Objective: The primary objective of this effort is to develop and deploy the EVAMOSC data platform to collect cost data on U.S. Army major weapons systems, while implementing a design and architecture that is scalable to include weapon systems across the DoD in future increments. The EVAMOSC data system will incorporate technologies for ingesting, aggregating, standardizing, visualizing, reporting, and securing a large amount of data (i.e., over 75 sources) from an array of systems currently serving multiple functional communities: financial management, logistics, maintenance, human resources, property, and acquisition. The primary challenge in this effort is development of the business rules and logic model required to map O&S cost data from the aforementioned disparate functional areas to individual Army weapon systems.
1.3.1 This effort will demonstrate an enhanced capability to aggregate and fuse multiple data sources to provide complete, accurate, and granular O&S cost profiles at a required frequency (monthly in most cases). This investment in O&S cost data infrastructure will improve the DoD’s ability to understand the costs associated with operating and sustaining major weapons, the quality of lifecycle cost estimates for future programs, and the capability to identify and manage root causes of O&S cost growth.
1.3.2 The EVAMOSC data platform will reside on Amazon GovCloud and will host the development and test environments necessary to produce O&S cost data profiles for major weapons systems. The EVAMOSC platform will then transmit, or otherwise make available for ingestion, these cost data profiles for production and publication on the OUSD (Comptroller) ADVANA platform. The ADVANA platform will host any public-facing applications to enable broader DoD community to access EVAMOSC data.
Furthermore, CAPE will use ADVANA’s “platform-as-a-service” capabilities to address all Authority-to- Operate (ATO) and user management requirements associated with exposing the EVAMOSC application to NIPR access. While the contractor may generate information required to assist with security administration, authority to operate, and risk management framework processes, he will not be inherently responsible for execution of these functions for either the EVAMOSC or ADVANA platforms.
1.4 Scope: The contractor shall perform Database Design, Implementation, Operation, and Data Platform Sustainment support, to include technical, administrative, and professional services, for the purpose of developing and implementing the OSD-CAPE EVAMOSC system.
1.5 Period of Performance: The period of performance shall be for one (1) Base Period of 12 months and four (4) 12-month option periods.

5.3 Design, Develop, and Maintain an Enterprise O&S Data Platform:
5.3.1 Design and Develop an EVAMOSC data platform: The contractor shall use tools and infrastructure provided by the government, as described in Part 3 above, to support a virtual computing environment and rapid scalability for development and deployment of the EVAMOSC platform. Provide a secure and scalable repository of all data types and origins that can scale to 100 terabytes (TB) of data for the primary purpose of collecting, aggregating, and reporting O&S costs for major weapons systems. Integrate both open source and Commercial-Off-the-shelf (COTS) components, as provided on the government furnished cloud environment, to make data available for a wide breadth of analysis. Develop recommendations to ensure scalability and performance of the data platform. Provide engineering techniques to ensure that data platforms are readily accessible, maintained and performing optimally. The vendor is not required to demonstrate prior experience with AWS GovCloud. (Deliverable: Data Architecture Approach).
5.4 EVAMOSC Data Acquisition and Preparation: This task, from the US government’s perspective, is the most challenging aspect of the work required for EVAMOSC and represents the greatest value to OSD- CAPE and the DoD. This task focuses on acquiring and preparing data from DoD business systems in order to compile and present complete, accurate, and granular O&S cost profiles for major weapons systems. See Technical Exhibit 4 for a list of potential data sources. The objective is to develop and sustain data acquisition and business rule automation for O&S cost data reporting requirements and analytics. The Contractor shall generate EVAMOSC data from disparate Service business systems to produce complete O&S cost data profiles, as defined by the OSD-CAPE 2014 Operating and Support Cost Estimating Guide, for all Major Defense Acquisition Programs and any Type-Model-Series (TMS) or Mission-Description- Series (MDS) derivatives of the original programs (e.g., M1A2, M1A2SEP, M1A2SEPV3, etc.). See Technical Exhibit 5 for a list of US Army programs. The contractor shall work with DoD business systems owners from the Defense Agencies and Military Departments to determine what data is needed to complete an O&S cost data map for major DoD weapons systems. Once the contractor determines the data owners and data elements required to provide the desired O&S cost data output for each Military Department, the contractor shall implement an automated ingest approach of data from each identified source system. The Contractor’s ingestion approach shall include the automation of business rules, quality checks, and the development and sustainment of memorandum of agreements and system interface agreements. As previously stated, EVAMOSC Increment 1 will focus on U.S. Army and Marine Corps weapons systems in the ground vehicle commodity group, and the contractor will be responsible for collecting and reporting cost data from Fiscal Years 2015 and beyond. To the maximum extent possible, the contractor will leverage congruencies between the data needs for the ground vehicle commodity group and other commodity groups to enable concurrent development. For example, if an O&S cost data map for Army rotary wing weapons systems is identical to the data map for ground vehicles, the contractor will include this commodity group in Increment 1.
5.4.1 Plan and Coordinate with EVAMOSC stakeholders and Subject Matter Experts from the Military Departments and Defense Agencies to obtain access to data. Based on direction from the U.S. government EVAMOSC project lead, the contractor shall identify source data systems, data elements, and possible reporting frequencies to support EVAMOSC’s O&S data requirements. Coordinate with data system owners to finalize data requirements and formulate access agreements. Create a System Interface Agreement (SIA) for each source system to record the details of access and interface between the source system and EVAMOSC. Assess each system to track the progress of acquiring the data from the source system owner. The system coordination status shall be provided at least weekly. (Deliverables: Integrated Master Schedule (IMS), System Interface Agreement, Weekly System Data Update).
5.4.2 Perform data cleansing and wrangling to achieve assignment of O&S cost data to specific cost elements and major weapons systems. The contractor shall categorize and tag data from multiple DoD business systems for the purpose of assigning operating and support costs to specific elements of the Government’s required cost estimating structure (currently found in the 2014 OSD-CAPE O&S Cost Estimating Guide) and to specific weapons systems at the Type-Model-Series (TMS) or Mission-
Description-Series (MDS) level. The contractor shall document all business rules when standardizing data to support O&S data (cost and non-cost) aggregation or disaggregation to specific weapons systems.
Ensure that all incoming data expressed in dollars are in “Then-Year” and have not been adjusted for inflation or escalation. In instances when the contractor is required to convert incoming data expressed in dollars to a “Then Year” version, explicitly document the source, version, and base year of the index used to perform the conversion. Work with functional SMEs to validate business rules, data models, and create data dictionaries for each source data system. The contractor will document the participants, process, and validation output from testing used to allocate any cost to a particular weapons system (i.e., when assigning costs to a weapons system from an aggregate level that does not allow for direct attribution of a cost). The contractor will alert the Government project lead of any standardization issues identified when conducting data cleansing. (Deliverables: Data Dictionary, Business Rules, Data Models).
5.4.3 Demonstrate and implement a consistent approach for ingestion of new source data from multiple sources through automated data pipelines, currently scoped at 75 systems. Based on the source system agreements in task 5.4.1, the contractor shall develop automated data pipelines that will support the integration and loading of data sets, perform quality checks, transformation, meta-data tagging, and provide visual metrics and reports. The contractor shall report, at least monthly, the health of the data pipelines.
Provide logging and data lineage reports. The contractor shall develop test reports and perform configuration management. Incorporate tools available on the AWS DoD CC SRG IL4 (GovCloud) environment to automate this task to the maximum possible extent. (Deliverables: Automated Data Pipeline Plan, Data Lineage Reports, Data Pipeline Health Reports).
5.4.4 Provide analysis of data schema and structure, and functional validation of data ingested. The contractor shall validate received and ingested data against defined business rules and data structures.
Work with stakeholders to receive acceptance of business rules and data structures, with emphasis on any cost data outcomes requiring allocation versus direct attribution of costs to a weapons system. Document all business rules and data structures that will be used for validation, including stakeholder or participation in business rule development, where required. Design and implement a process for identifying and reporting data deficiencies, errors, and anomalies originating in EVAMOSC source data systems. The contractor’s process shall result in documentation of all data deficiencies, errors, and anomalies discovered.
Incorporate tools, available on the AWS DoD CC SRG IL4 (GovCloud) environment, optimally suited for virtual computing environments and rapid scalability to automate this task to the maximum possible extent.
(Deliverable: Data Validation Dashboard).
5.4.5 Develop a data catalog. The contractor shall develop and sustain an automated way to search a data inventory, data catalog, and metadata repository. The data catalog shall detail all source systems that are available in the EVAMOSC platform with appropriate metadata. The data catalog shall be the primary interface from which to access all information related to tracking data within the EVAMOSC platform.
The data catalog shall collect and display historical metrics from the data pipeline error logs and source data inventory. In addition to error logging, the data catalog shall provide tracking and reporting for data for the full data pipeline, meaning initial acquisition, quality assurance (QA) checking (possibly multiple instances until successful), normalization, and tabulation. This tracking procedure shall fuel many reports and other functionality, including a comprehensive report on all data within the data pipeline, system adherence to Memorandum of Agreements (MOAs), an inventory of all data incorporated into the system, and notifications sent to stakeholders. Incorporate tools available on the AWS DoD CC SRG IL4 (GovCloud) environment to automate this task to the maximum possible extent. (Deliverable: Data Catalog).
5.4.6 Provide support to data governance initiatives. As required by the EVAMOSC US Government Task Monitor, support data governance working group sessions with prepared briefs, data collection, and recommendations for policy change. The contractor shall provide recommendations for cost element definition or business rule changes to support emerging reporting requirements or comparison of costs at an enterprise level. The contractor shall provide feedback on the technical implications of changes to EVAMOSC data governance.
5.4.7 Integrate with the ADVANA Readiness Analytics Working Group. The contractor shall participate in regularly occurring working groups dedicated to improving the accuracy and usefulness of the
ADVANA Readiness Analytics platform.
