About this file

This document is a Combined Services Acquisition Strategy/Acquisition Plan for Intelligence and Automation Operations (IAO) issued by Army Contracting Command-Detroit Arsenal. The requirement supports the Ground Intelligence Support Activity's Data Capabilities Division, providing comprehensive intelligence and IT support services across six specific task areas, including cross-domain solutions, data management, systems integration, and mission support. The procurement will consolidate two existing task orders (Intelligence Automation Support and Intelligence Operation Support Services) into a single small business set-aside contract with a total estimated value of $53 million, consisting of a 12-month base period and four 12-month option periods.

The acquisition will focus on specialized intelligence services requiring personnel with high-level TS/SCI security clearances, operating in classified environments and supporting the Army Intelligence Data Platform and Next Generation Command and Control framework. Key services include artificial intelligence integration, mobile training teams, data governance, exercise systems integration, cybersecurity, cloud engineering, and help desk operations. The contract will be structured as a firm-fixed-price, level-of-effort arrangement, transitioning from previous cost-plus-fixed-fee contracts to provide greater cost predictability and budget control. Market research confirmed a competitive vendor pool capable of meeting the complex technical and security requirements of this intelligence-focused procurement.

COMBINED SERVICES ACQUISITION STRATEGY/ACQUISITION PLAN

Army Contracting Command-Detroit Arsenal (ACC-DTA)

This combined document satisfies the content requirements as annotated under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 7.105, Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) 207.105, and Army Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (AFARS) 5137.5. If any paragraph is not applicable, annotate N/A.

1. Requirement/Statement of Need and Acquisition Considerations.

The Intelligence and Automation Operations (IAO) requirement provides Gound Intelligence Support Activity’s (GISA’s) Data Capabilities Division (DCD) Intelligence and IT support personnel. The objective of this contract is to deliver comprehensive operational intelligence integration and data-centric support to the DCD and its diverse customer base. This effort enables intelligence consumers to discover, access, and share relevant IC reporting across networks they operate. Services encompass cross-domain solutions, secure network access, data management, systems integration, and access to intelligence reporting across U.S. and multinational platforms. Support is provided to the Army’s intelligence program of record and the designated intelligence application within the Next Generation Command and Control (NGC2) framework. The Army Intelligence Data Platform (AIDP) supports all echelons, including battalion, brigade, division, corps, and ASCC levels, and directly contributes to the tactical-to-operational targeting process. Additionally, the task order facilitates data protocols for NGC2 through a range of services, including artificial intelligence integration, Mobile Training Teams (MTTs), data governance, exercise systems integration, cybersecurity, cloud engineering, help desk operations, and overall mission support.

The Performance Work Statement (PWS) describes the performance outcome to be satisfied under the IAO program.

The scope is outlined within 6 specific task areas identified below, as outlined in Part 4 of the PWS:

· Task Area 1: DCD Cross Domain Solutions and Digital Content Management

· Task Area 2: DCD Data and Systems Integration and Trex Support

· Task Area 3: DCD Operations Support

· Task Area 4: DCD Access Management

· Task Area 5: Information Technology Support

Product Service Code (PSC): R423

North American Industry Classification System (NAICS): (NAICS Code)

Business Arrangement: Competitive; Small Business Set Aside Type of Funds and availability: The contract will be incrementally funded with appropriate FY Operations and Maintenance, Army (OMA) funds for each Period of Performance (PoP)

Total Estimated Value (including options): $53m~

Total Period of Performance: This contract will have a PoP consisting of a 12-month base period with four, 12-months option periods and up to a six-month extension in accordance with (IAW) FAR 52.217-8, “Option to Extend Services”.

(a) Use of non-DOD contract. Not applicable

(b) Procurement History. This action will consolidate two separate Task Orders currently supporting the DCD; Intelligence Automation Support (IAS) and Intelligence Operation Support Services (IOSS). This is an appropriate consolidation as the IAS Task Order provides the IT Support to the IOSS Intelligence Professional Services. This consolidated procurement will enhance the performance outcomes, reduce duplication, improve contract management and realize a cost savings to the Government.

IOSS: HHM402-19-D-0021/W50NH9-22-F-0012; $68,478,434 for 875,560 Hours Intelligence Operations Support Services (IOSS) Contract Type: CPFF for Labor, Cost for ODC’s Period of Performance: 22 December 2021 – 23 November 2026 (Including -8 Option) Awarded 16 December 2021 to The Buffalo Group Competed Full and Open amongst SIA 3 MATOC Holders, 3 proposals Best Value Trade Off The Buffalo Group has since been acquired by Jacobs Technology, Inc IAS: W52P1J-18-D-A095/W50NH9-24-F-0084; $23,414,597.92 for 172,800 Hours Intelligence Automation Support (IAS) Contract Type: CPFF for Labor, Cost for ODC’s Period of Performance: 25 September 2024 – 24 September 2028 (Including -8 Option) Awarded 16 August 2024 to Jacobs Technology, Inc Competed Full and Open amongst CHESS ITES-3S, 19 proposals Best Value Trade Off

Both IOSS and IAS Task Orders were structured as Cost Plus Fixed Fee Term Contracts for Labor that utilized floor and ceiling rates. To date the contractor has not exceeded the maximum billing rates on either contract. However, fluctuations in indirect costs can increase total expenses under a CPFF contract. These higher indirect costs can cause funds to be consumed faster than projected, requiring incremental funding earlier than anticipated. This creates undue pressure and additional administrative burden on the Requiring Activity to estimate each incremental funding batch and request additional funding in excess of original estimates. Using a FFP-LOE arrangement over a CPFF contract provides greater cost predictability and budget control, as the prices are established up front based on a defined number of labor hours and categories. This reduces the Government’s exposure to cost growth, reduces administrative oversight, and shifts the cost overrun risk to the contractor. Consolidating IOSS’s intelligence mission objectives with the ancillary support of IAS’s information technology objective under one contract is projected to enhance performance by enabling closer collaboration between intelligence and IT representatives, ensuring faster issue resolution and smoother information flow. Furthermore, integrating these services under one contract will improve operational efficiency between coordination and unified oversight, ultimately delivering higher quality support to the shared mission while maximizing cost savings and reducing duplicative acquisition efforts.

(c) Challenges. (Address challenges that drive the mission or acquisition approach. This could include cost, schedule, or other challenges (i.e., competition, etc.) expected.)

(d) Congressional Interest. There have been no congressional inquiries for the IAO procurement resulting from any published notice.

(e) Enterprise Approaches. ACC-DTA and GISA’s DCD considered whether an existing Government Government-wide acquisition contract would be a viable procurement solution for these services. The Integrated Project Team (IPT) reviewed the current multiple award task order contract (MATOC’s), Multiple Award Schedule (MAS), and General Services Administration (GSA) to determine the feasibility of using an existing contract vehicle versus creating a new contract. The IPT was unable to identify an existing contract vehicle that fulfills the needs for this procurement. The procurement vehicles lacked one or more of the following: (1) ability for outside contracting agencies to use the instrument without transferring contract administration, (2) scope and/or provision flexibility to permit a requiring activity (RA) to successfully accomplish its service-related mission requirements, and (3) allows use without paying an administrative service fee.

(f) Information Technology (IT) Services and Clinger-Cohen Act. (If the requirement includes or is for IT services, regardless of dollar value, the Clinger-Cohen Act (40 U.S.C. 11101 et seq.) applies. Discuss the specific applicability and implications of the Clinger-Cohen Act.) See FAR 7.105(b) for additional requirements.)

(g) Intellectual Property/Data Rights. (Discuss applicability IAW FAR 7.105(b)(14)(iii) and DFARS 207.105. Include plans/strategy to identify and manage intellectual property, data deliverables, and associated license rights to allow both the government and industry a fair and reasonable return on investment and, when appropriate, enabling a competitive and cost-effective transition to follow-on service providers. For example, the plans/strategy should describe technical data and computer software pertaining to a service which has been or will be developed in the performance of the contract. Any sustainment planning should describe technical data and computer software necessary for installation, operation, maintenance, or training purposes (other than detailed manufacturing or process data). When practical, the IP Strategy may be attached as an appendix or annex.)

(h) Organizational Conflicts of Interest (OCI). No OCI has been identified with this requirement IAW DFARS 207.503 (S-70). The solicitation will include FAR 52.203-13, “Contractor Code of Business Ethics and Conduct” and FAR 52.203-16, “Preventing Personal Conflicts of Interest”.

(i) Inherently Governmental Functions/In-sourcing Contracted Services.

The Requiring Activity’s (RA’s) Senior Executive reviewed the Request for Services Contract Approval (RSCA), inclusive of accompanying worksheets, to ensure critical concerns (inherently governmental functions, personal services, and the level and types of services to be acquired under the contract) have been addressed. INSCOM GISA has obtained a signed RSCA In Accordance With (IAW) its approval policy prior to release of the solicitation pursuant to AFARS 5107.503 Policy.

(j) Service Contract Reporting (SCR). SCR requirements will not be included in the solicitation and resultant contract. Per the Defense Pricing and Contracting Memorandum dated 02 November 2018 titled, “Waiver for the Use of Federal Acquisition Regulations and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement Required Systems and Applications” all unclassified DoD-issued procurement actions awarded on behalf of the DoD elements of the IC waives the requirement for SCR, as well as other requirements listed in the memo (i.e. Contract Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System, and electronic Subcontracting Reporting System. Currently, there are no methods for reporting unclassified IC contracts. As such, IC contracts will not appear in the SCR listing in the System for Award Management (SAM). In lieu of CPARs, however, contractor performance will be documented in the Contractor Review Information (CRI) module of ACC-DTA’s IC Contract Action Metrics (CAM) SharePoint.

2. Risk Management.

Technical, cost, schedule, and performance risks are discussed in the following paragraphs, and methods for mitigating potential risks are discussed within each respective paragraph. (Provide an assessment of current and potential technical, cost, schedule, and performance risks, the level of the stated risks, and a risk mitigation plan. (Tailor each of the risks to the acquisition.))

Risk Assessment:

Risk
Technical
Cost
Schedule
Performance

Low

Medium

High

(a) Technical Risk. (Provide an assessment of the technical risk and level of stated risk associated with this requirement. Technical risk is determined to be [low, medium, high]. The likelihood of occurrence of potential risks is remote because the mitigation of the risk is within the control of the Government. The potential technical risks for this acquisition are: (1) Contractor in-house resources are not all-encompassing to meet technical demands of customers to execute the project/program; and (2) a project could encounter misinterpretation or lack of understanding of SOW, specifications, criteria, etc., as well as changing requirements and standards.)

Technical risk will be mitigated by: (Provide discussion on how the technical risk will be mitigated.)

(b) Cost Risk. (Provide an assessment of the cost risk and level of stated risk associated with this requirement). Example: Cost risk is considered [low, medium, high] because the impact is considered [minimal with appropriate use of various analysis and negotiation techniques]. The potential cost risks for this acquisition are: (1) cost growth at the task order level from inflated pricing, unknown site conditions, and changes in requirements or revised mission requirements; and (2) costs will not be fair and reasonable at both the IDC and task order levels. The cost risk associated with the planned acquisition occurs during the selection process and basic IDC award, as well as during the individual project execution phase when task orders are issued.)

Cost risk will be mitigated by: (Provide discussion on how the cost risk will be mitigated.)

(c) Schedule Risk. (Provide an assessment of the schedule risk and level of stated risk associated with this requirement. EXAMPLE: Schedule risk is considered [low, medium, high] due to projected requirements. The schedule risk related to this acquisition will be at the task order level and the task order project anticipated to not be completed on time.)

Schedule risk will be mitigated by: (Provide discussion on how the schedule risk will be mitigated.)

(d) Performance Risk. (Provide an assessment of the performance risk and level of stated risk associated with this requirement. Example: Performance risk is determined to be [low, medium, high] due to [the pool of highly qualified firms that will be available to consider before selection]. (Also address risks associated with task orders if the acquisition is for an Indefinite Delivery type contract.) Performance risks for this acquisition are: (1) a firm would not have the capacity to perform based on other awarded projects; and (2) a firm would not have the necessary capability to perform the contract or associated task orders.)

Performance risk will be mitigated by: (Provide discussion on how the performance risk will be mitigated.)

(e) Trade-offs. (Discuss the expected consequences of trade-offs among the various cost, capability or performance, and schedule goals.)

3. Competition.

The Government intends to release a competitive small business set aside solicitation. A Source Selection Evaluation Board (SSEB) will be convened to evaluate the offers using best value trade-off procedures.

(a) Market Research. IAW FAR 10.002(b)(2), ACC-DTA has employed the following market research techniques to determine the procurement method for this requirement, a Request for Approval to Procure Non-Commercial Services Market Research Report was authored. It was determined that the subject requirement is for military-unique intelligence services in direct support of the Intelligence Community’s operational mission. Performance entails handling classified information up to TS/SCI, operating within SCIF’s, and executing tasks under government-directed intelligence protocols, methodologies, and analytical frameworks that have no commercial equivalents. All personnel must possess active TS/SCI clearances with polygraph prior to performance. These services cannot be fulfilled by the commercial marketplace without unacceptable risk to national security; therefore, the requirement is determined to be non-commercial.

These detailed market research activities meet the requirement for an RFA to procure non-commercial services. The requirement involves specialized intelligence related services that include sensitive operational support, analysis, and mission enabling functions. Work will require personnel with high level security clearances, access to secure facilities, and performance in classified environments. These services are not offered to the general public, nor are they priced, marketed, or sold through typical commercial channels. The unique nature of work, combined with mission specific performance standards, prevents the use of FAR Part 12 commercial procedures. Despite this requirement being non-commercial in nature market research conducted across multiple platforms to capture a comprehensive view of industry capability.

· CHESS: Posting resulted in 6 responses, with several vendors stating the PWS was outside their capability, likely due to the specialized intelligence professional services.

· GSA Market Research as a Service: Produced targeted results identifying capable vendors; however, the customer would rather not proceed through GSA acquisition vehicle due to the associated fee.

· SAM.gov: Posting generated 42 responses, representing the broadest engagement and providing substantial data for capability and clearance assessment.

Industries robust responses indicate the multiple vendors, across varying business sizes, confirmed the capability to execute the requirement to its entirety. The responses indicate a competitive vendor base exists, with several companies demonstrating current performance on DoD and Intelligence Community contracts of a similar scope, staff with active TS/SCI with polygraph clearances, and specialized technical capabilities in both core intelligence functions and ancillary support tasks.

Given the classified nature of the work and specialized skillsets required, the acquisition should proceed using non-commercial procedures under FAR Part 15. The primary reason for strategy selection will be to ensure adequate competition among vendors meeting the clearance and technical requirements. The market research confirms that while the requirement is non-commercial by nature, there is a competitive pool of qualified vendors with necessary clearance, past performances, and technical expertise to meet the full scope. The acquisition strategy should focus on leveraging non-commercial competitive procedures to ensure mission success while maintaining cost and schedule.

(b) Consolidation. (Is this a consolidated requirement? If so, provide a brief description of the consolidation impact on socio-economic implications. Also, include a copy of the written determination as an attachment to this document (see FAR 7.107-2). Also include a narrative to indicate whether the appropriate approval for consolidation has already been obtained (see AFARS 5107.107-2).)

4. Socio-Economic Implications.

In accordance with FAR Part 8, the Government must evaluate whether the requirement can be fulfilled through mandatory sources before proceeding with competitive acquisition. The AbilityOne Program has been reviewed the scope of work involves specialized, classified intelligence services requiring high level clearances and performance in secure facilities. These requirements are not compatible with AbilityOne production capabilities.

(a) Bundling. This action is not considered bundling.

(b) Small Business Administration Procurement Center Representative (SBA PCR). The DD2579 will be submitted to the Office of Small Business Programs and the Small Business Advisor will sign when the IAO Combined Acquisition Strategy/Plan is approved.

(c) Subcontracting. Subcontracting opportunities may be anticipated for this requirement but are not required due to the action being a small business set aside.

5. Business Arrangements.

(a) Total Estimated Dollar Value. The Government estimate for this acquisition is $52,732,423, which includes a 12-month base, four 12-month option periods, and up to a six-month extension IAW FAR 52.217-8. The estimate for this effort is based on Labor Categories (LCATs), Full Time Equivalents (FTEs), and total estimated hours. The anticipated need is for 85,562 labor hours per years 470,591 labor hours and

(b) Availability and Type of Funds. (Address whether funding is available and the type of funds that will be used IAW FAR 7.105(b)(6).)

(c) Contract Type and Basis for Selection. (Address the contract type and the basis for selection IAW FAR 7.105(b)(3) & (b)(5). If the contracting officer anticipates using a contract type with award fee, include a discussion of the award fee plan, related criteria, and evaluation process to include how the award fee evaluation will incorporate attainment of the metrics.)

(d) Delivery or performance-period requirements. (Describe the basis for establishing delivery or performance-period requirements (see FAR Subpart 11.4). Explain and provide reasons for any urgency if it results in concurrency of development and production or constitutes justification for not providing for full and open competition.)

(e) Long-term Continuing Requirements Using Cost-Type Contracts. (Assess long-term continuing requirements using cost-type contacts for conversion to fixed-price or other lower risk contractual arrangement, especially when the contracting officer decides to use a cost-type contract after initial analysis indicates that a fixed-price or other low-risk contract instrument may be appropriate.)

(f) Source Selection Process. (Discuss the source selection process IAW FAR 7.105(b)(4), including whether it will be formal or informal, proposed evaluation criteria, and the basis for award. If the procurement will use a formal source selection process, do not identify the name of the SSA in the strategy.)

(g) Applicable Waivers/Deviations. (Discuss any waivers or deviations that may be required for this procurement.)

6. Contract Administration.

(Discuss the existing or planned management approach to be used following contract award, to include the tracking procedures or processes used to monitor contract performance. This approach could include, but not be limited to, a quality assurance surveillance plan and/or written oversight plans and responsibilities. Also, discuss contract administration, to include the involvement of the contracting officer’s representative (COR) and/or the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) IAW AFARS 5137.590-6(a)(5)(vii). Describe how inspection and acceptance corresponding to the performance work statement criteria will be enforced, see FAR 7.105(b)(19).)

7. Multi-Year Contracts.

(If the strategy calls for a multi-year service contract IAW FAR 7.105(b)(5)(i) as defined in FAR subpart 17.1 (see also DFARS 217.171) under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2306c, the strategy must address the Army’s plans for budgeting for termination liability.)

8. Leases.

(Include a lease-purchase strategy if required by OMB Circular A-94, Section 13. Otherwise, N/A.)

9. Metrics.

(Address the cost, schedule, and performance metrics to include the plan for measuring service acquisition outcomes against requirements. If metrics have not been provided in advance by the requiring activity, the contracting officer should obtain the metrics from the requiring activity prior to approval of this document (e.g., contract, military interdepartmental purchase request (MIPR)) that initiates the acquisition.)

10. Applicable Conditions.

(State all significant conditions affecting the acquisition. See FAR 7.105(a)(2).)

11. Cost.

(Set forth the established cost goals for the acquisition and the rationale supporting them, and discuss related cost concepts to be employed, and under certain circumstances use of the economic price adjustments that allow for changes in the price, either positive or negative, when there are market fluctuations that are beyond the vendor control in accordance with FAR 16.203 and DFARS 216.203 and also reference HQ ASA(ALT), SAAL-ZP MEMORANDUM FOR ARMY CONTRACTING ENTERPRISE, SUBJECT: Use of Economic Price Adjustment Clauses in Response to Inflation, 22 September 2022 including, as appropriate, the following items:)

(a) Application of Should-Cost. (Describe the application of should-cost analysis to the acquisition (see FAR 15.407-4). (Example language if not applicable: A should-cost analysis is not applicable to this acquisition as traditional evaluation methods of cost and price evaluation will provide the Government with sufficient information to determine price reasonableness. The cost goal is to negotiate fair and reasonable prices using price and cost analysis techniques IAW FAR 15.404.)

(b) Life cycle costs. (Discuss how life-cycle cost will be considered. If it is not applicable, explain why IAW FAR 7.105(a)(3)(i).)

(c) Design to cost. (Describe the design-to-cost objective(s) and underlying assumptions, including the rationale for quantity, learning-curve, and economic adjustment factors IAW FAR 7.105(a)(3)(ii).)

12. Acquisition Streamlining.

(If specifically designated by the requiring agency as a program subject to acquisition streamlining, discuss plans and procedures to:

(a) Encourage industry participation by using draft solicitations, pre-solicitation conferences or industry day, and other means of stimulating industry involvement during design and development in recommending the most appropriate application and tailoring of contract requirements;

(b) In accordance with DFARS 207.103(d)(i), if a draft request for proposal is not used, contracting officers must include the rationale for not using a draft request for proposal in the plan IAW AFARS 5115.201(c)(6);

(c) Select and tailor only the necessary and cost-effective requirements; and

(d) State the timeframe for identifying which of those specifications and standards, originally provided for guidance only, shall become mandatory.)

13. Priorities, Allocations, and Allotments.

(When urgency of the requirement dictates a particularly short delivery or performance schedule, certain priorities may apply. If so, specify the method for obtaining and using priorities, allocations, and allotments, and the reasons for them (see subpart 11.6).)

14. Contractor versus Government Performance.

(Address the consideration given to OMB Circular No. A-76 (see FAR Subpart 7.3).)

15. Government-Furnished Property (GFP).

(Indicate any Government property provided to contractors, and discuss any associated considerations, such as its availability or the schedule for its acquisition, see FAR 45.102.)

16. Government-Furnished Information (GFI).

(Discuss any Government information, such as manuals, drawings, and test data, to be provided to prospective offerors and contractors. Indicate which information that requires additional controls to monitor access and distribution (e.g., technical specifications, maps, building designs, schedules, etc.), as determined by the agency, is to be posted via the enhanced controls of the Governmentwide point of entry (GPE) at https://www.sam.gov (see FAR 5.102(a).)

17. Environmental and Energy Conservation Objectives.

(Discuss all applicable environmental and energy conservation objectives IAW FAR 7.105(b)(17) associated with the acquisition (see FAR Part 23), the applicability of an environmental assessment or environmental impact statement, the proposed resolution of environmental issues, and any environmentally related requirements to be included in the solicitation(s) and contract(s).)
