DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES.

1.1 ORGANIZATIONS BEING SUPPORTED: HQ AFSPC/A6II and A5X

150 VANDENBERG ST., STE 1105

PETERSON AFB CO 80914-4510

1.1.1 MISSION: HQ AFSPC/A6II’s mission is to provide the vision and execution process for enterprise and infrastructure architecture integration and net-centric transformation. HQ AFSPC/A6II manages the oversight and implementation of the Architecture Campaign Plan (ACP). This entails active collaboration with a wide range of organizations, including those listed below, to identify and address integration issues and opportunities within AFSPC.

· AFSPC Directorates

· AFSPC Wings and Geographically Separated Units

· Space and Missile Center (SMC)

· Electronic Systems Center (ESC)

· 526th ICBM Systems Wing and 526th Acquisition Group

· Air Force Communications Agency (AFCA)

· United States Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM)

· Global Cyberspace Integration Center (GCIC)

· Secretary of the Air Force for Warfighting Integration and Chief Information Officer (SAF/XC)

1.1.2 The mission of the Headquarters Air Force Space Command Directorate of Plans and Requirements (HQ AFSPC/A5) includes development, documentation, coordination, and approval of requirements for DoD space, space launch, and missile systems. A5X requires system engineering support to ensure net centric processes and future technologies are integrated into programs and to ensure new programs being developed within product centers meet AFSPC net-centric intent within the scope of the Joint Capability Integration and Development System (JCIDS), National Security Space Acquisition Policy 03-01, the DoD 5000 series regulations, Air Force Instruction 10‑601 and associated Planning, Programming, Budgeting and Execution (PPBE) processes Work performed by the contractor under this task order is intended to support a broad range of technical, engineering, operational, sustainment, training, and management functions pertaining to providing the guidance and tools necessary to bring the AFSPC into technical and architectural compliance with net-centric operations. AFSPC systems play an essential role in today’s Air Force. Without properly integrated space systems, the Air Force Enterprise Architecture will not support the Air Force vision for architectures in the net-centric environment. The enterprise architecture describes how an organization performs its work using people, processes, data and technology. That enterprise architecture helps build a blueprint for improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the organization and making the transition to net-centric operations.

1.2 OVERVIEW OF SERVICES REQUIRED: This contract is for non-personal services to provide technical and engineering support to the Plans and Requirements Division (HQ AFSPC/A5X), and to support HQ AFSPC/A6II requirements for integration and interoperability activities focused on:

(a) Execution of the AFSPC Net-Centric Transition Plan

(b) Execution of Net-Centric Governance

1.2.1 This task supports the AFSPC Net-Centric (NC) Transition Plan and integration efforts to implement the follow-on to the AFSPC Net-Centric (NC) Integration Pathfinder. Work executed under the Pathfinder effort produced the initial AFSPC Net-Centric Tool Set and associated processes required to complete the assessment and identify courses of action to support a system’s net-centric transition. The AFSPC Net-Centric Tool Set is comprised of the AFSPC Net-Centric Checklist, the Mission Effectiveness Model, Net-Centric Course of Action (COA) Menu and the Enterprise Linkage List. This effort involves execution of this process as outlined in the AFSPC Net-Centric Transition Plan for all remaining AFSPC systems, fine tuning of the NC Tool Set, developing the required training to ensure successful execution of this process and developing net-centric engineering reference models to provide guidance options to AFSPC mission and support system developers.

1.2.2 The Department of Defense (DoD) Chief Information Officer (CIO) called for a strategy to move the department as a whole toward net-centric operations. To implement this mandate, AFSPC established its net-centric transformation process, which is documented through the AFSPC Net-Centric Transition Plan. Beginning with its involvement in the Command and Control (C2) Space Situation Awareness (SSA) Community of Interest (COI), AFSPC looked at its mission systems and the challenges involved with net-centric transformation. AFSPC began by focusing on current net-centric efforts that address command priorities - supporting the Combatant Commander (COCOM), Numbered Air Forces (NAF), and the Wings. Through the use of architectures, net-centric integration, and their associated efficiencies, AFSPC will be better able to support planning and programming as well as the analysis of capabilities, effects, systems, and technology to bring space capabilities to the warfighter.

1.2.3 The AFSPC approach to net-centricity focuses on the data, as well as the IT infrastructure and services necessary to support sharing and visibility of that data. Inherent in operating in a net-centric environment is complete situational awareness of the AFSPC IT infrastructure and the impact of dynamic network disruptions and degradations on operational missions. In addition to developing the IT infrastructure backbone necessary to support net-centric transformation for AFSPC, the AFSPC Net-Centric Transition Plan will introduce net-centric concepts to AFSPC personnel and organizations, support development of a formal governance process, and engineer the net-centric implementation requirements for incorporation in AFSPC systems/programs

1.2.4 The JCIDS process addresses interoperability and information sharing needs for system exchange of information with other systems. The Net Ready Key Performance Parameter (NR-KPP) is a mandatory element of operational requirements documents. The NR-KPP is a success factor in capabilities-based acquisition and the DoD's ability to field effective systems to the warfighter. The DoD and the AF need a repeatable, structured method of measuring net-centricity and relating those measures to combat capabilities.

1.2.5 The NR-KPP assesses net readiness; information assurance requirements; both the technical exchange of information and the end-to-end operational effectiveness for that exchange. The NR-KPP consists of measurable and testable characteristics/performance metrics required for timely, accurate and complete exchange and use of information.

1.2.6 Additionally, AFSPC/A5X is the command’s lead for Capability Review and Risk Assessment (CRRA) requires technical and engineering support with specific expertise to understand a variety of space systems and the ability to transcribe technical requirements into actions. In this role, it is essential to have acquisition knowledge to better understand the requirements needed to both improve capabilities and assess the risks to existing programs. This includes but is not limited to fiscal, mission capabilities, schedule, and compatibility. The annual review by higher headquarters requires an understanding of all AFSPC systems and how we can mitigate risk through technology improvements or techniques, tactics and procedures.
