9002-0015 1.0 DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES: Headquarters Air Force Space Command (HQ AFSPC) Air, Space and Information Operations Directorate (A3) requires technical, system analysis, and programmatic and analytical support in the Deployment Flight (HQ AFSPC SOPS/XOOD). This includes software development, planning, analyses, technical studies, problem resolution and associated systems engineering support tasks.

1.1 organization being supported:

HQ AFSPC SOPS/XOOD

150 Vandenberg St., SUITE 1105

Peterson afb co 80914-4560

1.1.2 MISSION: HQ AFSPC SOPS/XOOD is the Office of Primary Responsibility (OPR) for management and verification of Unit Type Codes (UTCs) deployed from AFSPC’s nine wings to Combatant Commands in support of Operations Plans (OPLANS), Crisis Action, and the Global War on Terrorism. XOOD also provides policy, guidance and resources for all AFSPC space and missile operations including missile warning, nuclear event detection, space control, Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBM), space lift and range operations, satellite command and control, aerospace weather, helicopter and airfield operations and command and control. Additionally, XOOD is responsible for integrating space capabilities into operational level of war and develops space exploitation and ICBM employment concepts.

1.2 OVERVIEW OF SERVICES REQUIRED: XOOD requires the contractor to provide a broad range of technical support, quick response research, and on-site/immediate software development support to help the customer fully use the latest improvements in information technology. This task order shall include maintaining AFSPC related files within the DCAPES (Deliberate and Crisis Action Planning and Execution System) and AF UTC Availability database environments; verifying, analyzing, approving, and monitoring AFSPC deployments; overseeing and analyzing AFSPC’s unit inputs into the AEF Reporting Tool (ART) system; and assisting in the drafting and publishing of AFSPC’s AEF policies and procedures.

DCoMP was designed as a deployment management tool for AFSPC-tasked Air and Space Expeditionary Forces UTCs within JOPES. It compares taskings to available/postured UTCs and provides the user with reports sorted by any field contained in the database. DCoMP ensures that UTCs, or elements of a UTC, are not multi-tasked, that changes to any field within the database are highlighted, that new or deleted taskings are easily identified, and that taskings requiring MAJCOM verification are known. Additionally, DCoMP automatically identifies and can email Functional Area Managers (FAMs) of taskings and required action.

DCAPP compares unit manpower documents (UMD) to postured UTC positions to ensure AEF deployment requirements can be supported by the unit’s authorizations. DCAPP identifies discrepancies by installation, wing, functional area, UTC, and/or AFSC. DCAPP also provides statistical details of identified area and highlights UTC/UMD mismatches.

Both DCoMP and DCAPP are written in Microsoft Visual Basic 6. Maintenance involves ensuring that modifications to external TPFDD (Time Phased Force Deployment Database) databases and/or JOPES or DCAPES interfaces are immediately reflected and/or corrected in DCoMP software and that compatibility is maintained. DCoMP provides capability for HQ and base-level deployment management. Modifications are often extensive and require significant knowledge of Visual Basic 6 and/or SQL Server programming logic, DCAPES database structure, and base-level deployment objectives.

The task order requires on-site programming support for AFSPC’s DCoMP (DCAPES Comparison and Management Program) and DCAPP (DCAPES Comparison of Authorization to Postured Positions) software. XOOD requires trend and anomaly analysis capability for deployment taskings, ART currency reporting, and discrepancy data. Contractor will be required to use Air Force Instructions (AFIs) 10-401, 10-403 and 10-244, Air Force Publication Document (AFPD) 10-4, U.S. Code 10, and Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Manual (CJCSM) 3122 on a daily basis. Contractor will assist in the development of command supplemental guidance that adheres to and does not conflict with Air Force publications, Joint manuals, or public law. The government will train and certify one contractor employee in both DCAPES and Joint Operations Planning and Execution Systems (JOPES).
