1.1 Overview of Services

The Contractor shall provide technical, administrative, management, financial analysis, IT, and other services necessary to perform the activities defined in this PWS. This contract does not include the performance of any JT&E projects. The Contractor shall perform all activities to the standards stated in this PWS.

1.2 Background

The JT&E Program develops potential non-material options for increasing military effectiveness, and employs operational test and evaluation (T&E) techniques for analyzing and validating proposed joint military solutions. The JT&E Program brings two or more military Services together to provide improvements in the joint interoperability of Service systems, technical and operational concepts, and system performance; validated testing methodologies; and the validation of models, simulations, and test beds. The JT&E Program finds ways for warfighters to accomplish their missions better with today’s equipment, organizations, and doctrine. The JT&E Program achieves this objective by evaluating new concepts and addressing needs and issues in joint military environments.

The DOD’s JT&E Program originated in response to the 1970 Blue Ribbon Defense Panel Report, which recommended that continuing responsibility for joint testing be vested in an Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) staff element dedicated to T&E. In December 2002, the JT&E Program was realigned under the Director, Operational Test and Evaluation (DOT&E), who assigned responsibility for the Program to the Deputy Director, Naval Warfare (DD, NW). The DD, NW is the JT&E Program Director and provides the means to ensure that adequate operational T&E is accomplished. The JT&E Program Manager reports to the DD, NW and is responsible for the day-to-day execution of the Program. The JT&E Program is composed of the following four types of projects, each with its own purpose and focus:

1. Joint Feasibility Study (JFS): Conducts research, prepares studies, performs analysis, and provides technical expertise to develop a program master plan (PMP) that outlines test procedures and resource requirements for a potential Joint Test (JT). A JFS is normally conducted within a four to six month performance period.

2. Joint Test (JT): Executes the PMP through data collection and management, analysis, test event scheduling and planning, evaluation, reporting, and closedown activities. A JT isnormally conducted within a two-year performance period.

3. Quick Reaction Test (QRT): Addresses a joint warfighter critical operational need through data collection and management, analysis, test event scheduling and planning, evaluation, reporting, and closedown activities. A QRT is normally conducted within a one-year performance period.

4. Test and Evaluation (T&E): Solves joint issues identified and funded by a sponsoring agency or combatant command (CCMD) in order to address a relevant joint issue. A T&E project may last between 1 and 5 years. The requirements for conducting T&E activities include the same functions as those for conducting a joint test; however, they are normally in support of a joint organization’s own T&E efforts and are not as urgent in nature.

The current JPO business model is designed to conduct two new JFS projects every six months (four per year) at a designated Joint Test Unit (JTU) location. JFS projects require a dedicated team of technical experts (Joint Test Support Cell [JTSC]) capable of providing a focused quick start capability and adherence to an aggressive work breakdown schedule in order to meet programmatic milestones.

A designated team requires multiple areas of expertise, and consists of a Team Lead, Test Planners, Operations Research/Systems Analysts (ORSA), Modeling and Simulation (M&S) Experts, and a Consolidated Resources Estimate (CRE) Developer. The team is primarily focused on refining the JFS project scope, developing the test concept, decomposing the problem, and identifying resources required to execute the JT. This team also provides information to the Feasibility Study

Director (FSD) by canvassing the warfighting community for additional joint support and developing an overarching test plan (PMP).

The JPO charters one JT per six-month cycle (two per year). The JTSC continues to facilitate newly chartered JTs. A Technical Advisor is assigned to each JFS and JT project to provide technical consultation and advice to the JT&E Action Officers (Government civilian) regarding the design, development, planning, and implementation of these projects in the areas of test concept, test design, test measures, and analysis techniques. The Technical Advisors also provide technical consultation and advice to the JT&E Action Officers, the JT&E Program Manager, and additional staff. All JT projects will be tenants at the applicable hosting Joint Test Unit (JTU) location, with the JTU providing military Service and Government civilian personnel for the project(s) they are hosting. The JTUs are located in Suffolk, Virginia and Nellis Air Force Base (AFB), Nevada. JPO provides technical, administrative, and limited IT services for JT project(s) at JTU-Nellis.

Additionally, the JT&E Program budgets for six QRTs annually. The QRT Coordinator, along with the JT&E Program QRT Director, performs day-to-day execution, management, and oversight of all QRT projects. The JTSC also conducts training for nomination preparation and reviews all QRT and JT nominations independently for compliance with JPO standards prior to key decision points.

The specific duties of the Action Officers, Technical Advisors, and JTSC arecontained in sections

1.2.1.1 through 1.2.1.3 of the JT&E Program Handbook. The JPO staff alsoincludes expertise in the areas of technical, administrative, management, financial analysis, and ITservices. Flexibility is a key characteristic of the JPO services team in that the JT&E Program may have more than the usual number of projects approved during a normal cycle.

1.6.14 Organizational Conflict of Interest

Authority for performance and assessment of military hardware has been delegated to DOT&E;

therefore, any offeror (and all Subcontractors, partners, consultants, and so on) that produces hardware with a Defense contractor poses a potential conflict of interest identified as Impaired Objectivity. A Contractor’s judgment or objectivity in performing under one contract may be impaired, since their performance could potentially affect other activities or interests.

As stated in FAR 2.101, Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI) means that because of other activities or relationships with other persons, a person is unable or potentially unable to render impartial assistance or advice to the Government, or the person's objectivity in performing the contract work is or might be otherwise impaired, or a person has an unfair competitive advantage.

The Government will adequately consider the possibility of Impaired Objectivity OCI and whether it may be avoided, neutralized, or mitigated. However, Impaired Objectivity is only one type of OCI that may arise. All offerors shall comply with the provisions of FAR Subpart 9.505. Any offeror that has a potential conflict of interest shall submit an OCI Mitigation Plan to avoid or mitigate all significant potential OCIs.

All offerors shall comply with the provisions of FAR Subpart 9.5. The Contractor shall notify the KO immediately whenever becoming aware that such access or participation may result in any actual or potential OCI, and the Contractor shall promptly submit a plan to the KO to avoid or mitigate any such OCI. The OCI mitigation plan must be sufficiently detailed to enable the KO to reasonably assess the viability of the approach. All OCI mitigation plans will be reviewed to determine if a workable structure can be accepted.

No proposal will be excluded based upon OCI, without KO evaluation of a mitigation plan and opportunity for the Contractor to respond.

The Contractor’s mitigation plan will be determined to be acceptable solely at the discretion of the KO. In the event the KO unilaterally determines that any such OCI cannot be satisfactorily avoided or mitigated, the KO may affect other remedies as he or she deems necessary, including prohibiting the Contractor from participation in subsequent contracted requirements that may be affected by the OCI.

The Government will treat all OCI submissions as proprietary and protect the proposed information accordingly. If no potential conflicts exist, the offeror shall expressly state, “No OCI issues exist; therefore, no mitigation plan is provided.”

1.6.15 Government-Furnished Property and Government-Furnished Equipment Work will be performed on a Government site. The Government will provide expendables, facilities, desk space, telephones, utilities, computers, and software, and is responsible for the maintenance of these items.

PART 3. FUNCTIONAL AREA SERVICES

3.0 Concept

The JT&E Program expects the nominating agency for new projects to be the expert in the subject area of the proposed warfighting issue. JPO requires an operational test team that compliments the directed and chartered project expertise. The Services and Combatant Commanders partner with the JT&E Program to assist in solving the joint interoperability issues by providing resourcesand test venues for test execution. The operational team must also stand up and draw down test teams quickly, providing reinforcement as needed and maintaining the project documentation.

Additionally, the team must find credible and relevant joint solutions while maintaining a consistent process for executing tests.
