The Department’s Acquisition Directive: “Do More Without More”

– Ash Carter, Deputy Secretary of Defense (former Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics (AT&L))

I know I don’t need to read you these headlines. Today’s uncomfortable reality is one we are all familiar with: funding is tight, and our leadership has asked us to “do more without more”

GAO Report (March 2011)*– “Reducing or eliminating duplication, overlap, or fragmentation could potentially save billions of tax dollars annually and help agencies provide more efficient and effective services.”

*GAO Report: Opportunities to Reduce Potential Duplication in Government Programs, Save Tax Dollars, and Enhance Revenue (March 2011)

Last March, GAO released a report that highlighted several inefficiencies across the federal government. In this report, GAO calculated that we could save BILLIONS of tax dollars each year by simply reducing or eliminating duplication and overlap.

Question How do you “do more without more” AND eliminate duplication and overlap of efforts?

So, the question we are all faced with is this: how do you “do more without more” while also eliminating duplication and overlap?

Answer The Information Analysis Center (IAC) Program

The answer is simple: DoD’s Information Analysis Center Program has been dedicated to this mission for over 65 years.

Traditional Contracts IAC Contracts Limited Knowledge Base (Internal and Sub-contract) Extensive Knowledge Base (“Leverages the network” and builds on existing work at DTIC/IACs. Maintains a broad network that spans government/industry/academia.)

Deliverables Flow ONLY to Customer (Usually unavailable to others) Deliverables Flow to DTIC (Become available to the broadest possible audience for reuse. The IAC Process requires each effort to build on this historical foundation.)

Best Case Scenario: Information is reused within the company or program.

Best Case Scenario: Information is reused across the government (including contractors).

We are all familiar with typical contracts:

IAC contracts are different:

Through this model, the IACs take advantage of a unique characteristic of information: that it is the only commodity that increases in value the more it is used.

As historic information that may have originated in one operational context is applied in new environments, our understanding grows. In this way, the IACs build on the past in order to anticipate and respond to the evolving needs of the future.

IAC BCOs IAC TATs IAC Model BCOs Serve as Foundation for TATs

Here we see a graphic representation of the IAC model.

The BCO serves as the foundation. IAC BCOs are established in areas of strategic importance to serve that technical community as the central knowledge resource. What does that mean? IACs are charged not only with hosting historic research data from their technical community, but also with maintaining information on the latest developments within that community – including work by government, industry, and academia. To facilitate this, they maintain databases, publish journals, provide web-based resources, attend and host conferences, and much more. IACs also maintain a SME network, through which they reach out to key leaders and members of their technical community.

The IAC Program also offers Technical Area Tasks, or “TATs” which are externally-funded research and analysis efforts driven by emerging operational requirements. In order to increase efficiency and effectiveness in addressing today’s most challenging problems, TATs build on the knowledge base of the BCO.

Homeland Defense & Security IAC (HDIAC) CBRNIAC + new scope

The IAC Program is reshaping to respond to emerging areas of interest, while simultaneously reducing overhead and increasing opportunities for small business.

In the past, both BCO and TAT efforts were performed under the same contract. Our way ahead separates these efforts, allowing each contract to focus on the unique characteristics of either the BCO or the TAT efforts.

Core/BCO contracts will allow us to proactively build knowledge in these areas, while TAT contracts provide a cost-reimbursable avenue for customers to apply the core knowledge base to meet deeper requirements.

So far, we have awarded the SNIM contract, with 9 prime awardees. We are in source selection for the CSIAC, the BCO counterpart to SNIM; CSIAC was competed as a 100% SB set-aside. And we are about to release the formal RFP for HDIAC BCO, also as a 100% SB set-aside.

We’ll have additional detail on dollar values and schedules later in today’s presentations.

Data to Decisions Developing a Community of Practice

These next three charts provide examples of IAC work, moving from raw data to actionable information – what OASD(R&E) calls “data to decisions.”

CBRNIAC was tasked with conducting technical forums across the interagency, to facilitate information sharing and standardization in areas of technical interest. CBRNIAC conducted 4 forums on the following topics:

CBRNIAC successfully served as a third party facilitator, bringing all stakeholders together on common ground.

This is an example of the value of the IACs in bringing together stakeholders across a broad technical community to exchange information and agree on opportunities for standardization in solving the day’s most challenging technical problems.

Information Products for Operational Users

DoD scientists and engineers simply do not have the time to sift through mountains of data to uncover essential information to address emerging requirements. This situation underscores the value of and necessity for organizations that provide analysis, synthesis, and dissemination of relevant, timely knowledge and information. The Information Analysis Center Program is just such a resource.

Rather than simply providing users large quantities of raw data, leaving it to users to sift through and make sense of the details, IACs pull together data from numerous sources to create meaningful information products. These products are focused on a specific question or topic of interest. For example, State-of-the-Art Reports provide a summary of the latest in technology and practice across government, industry, and academia; here we have found some innovative practices in sectors that are not typically seen as resources for DoD (e.g., best practices in addressing the insider threat come from the private finance and entertainment industries).

Analytical Tools for Informed Decisions

IACs also provide analytical tools to help make sense of raw technical data, enabling more informed decisions. The DACS Software & Systems Cost and Performance Analysis Toolkit, or S2CPAT, is an example of one we just released (and which we continue to develop).

The goal of S2CPAT is to capture and analyze software and software engineering data, that can be used to improve:

The toolkit allows users to search for similar software projects and use the data to support:

This toolkit, developed in conjunction with the University of Southern California, builds on the COCOMO model (another USC product). We have integrated data from current Air Force systems, and are finalizing an international agreement with the Australians to integrate data from upcoming modernization projects which will replace 80% of their defence infrastructure.

IAC Value Proposition Leveraging Research for Operational Application

See text; highlight:

Information Analysis Center (IAC) Overview:

“Think Tanks” focused on topics of strategic interest to DoD Who We Are: The IACs are research and analysis organizations established by the DoD and managed by the Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC), to help researchers, engineers, scientists and program managers utilize existing Scientific and Technical Information (STI). IACs establish and maintain comprehensive knowledge bases that include historical, technical, scientific, and other data and information collected worldwide. IACs also work directly with customers on Technical Area Tasks (TATs), which yield new STI; this is added to one of the ten IACs, based on its technical focus.

Our Model: Invest in areas of strategic importance; invite others to build on that foundational knowledge base.

Where We Work: The IAC Program comprises over 5,700 scientists and engineers in 49 states (+ Korea and Germany).

Top States by Jobs Produced

Total investment was over $1.9 billion in Government Fiscal Year 2011; funds are utilized for military research and analysis, building knowledge for reuse by government, industry, and academia.

Value to the DoD Community: Customers who use the IAC program are able to save federal dollars by not duplicating work that’s already been performed while simultaneously strengthening the scientific community by adding new STI for others to use.

The IAC Program Serves as a bridge between the Warfighter and the acquisition community, and is recognized as an “essential value-added resource for the acquisition community” by one of the world’s preeminent bipartisan policy institutions. The IACs will consolidate from 10 centers into three centers in order to reduce overhead costs, while simultaneously expanding scope.

Examples of our Work: IED Defeat, MRAP Reliability, Helicopter Survivability

What We Do: Improve productivity of researchers, engineers, and program managers in the Defense research, development, and acquisition communities by collecting, analyzing, synthesizing, and disseminating worldwide STI in clearly defined, specialized fields or subject areas.

Who We Serve: IACs serve as a bridge between the Warfighter and the acquisition community. The IACs currently provide support to all 9 Combatant Commands (COCOMS) with over 100 researchers deployed for “in theater” support.
