(U) STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)

Joint Geospatial Analytic Support Services (JGASS) H92222-14-R-0013 30 May 14

1. (U//FOUO) Background: The United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) is a Unified Command of the Department of Defense (DOD). USSOCOM is responsible for all Special Operations Forces (SOF) in DOD. USSOCOM leads, plans, synchronizes, and as directed, executes global operations against terrorist networks. USSOCOM also trains, organizes, equips, and deploys combat ready Special Operations Forces to combatant commands around the world.

1.1 (U//FOUO) The requirement exists for an intelligence support program to provide comprehensive, actionable intelligence services to USSOCOM element and subordinate commands. Actionable Intelligence is defined as the collection, interpretation, and immediate use of intelligence information gathered from multiple sources to include contract personnel assets embedded and working in direct support with elite SOF units and supporting elements in order to carry out combat and other mission requirements. Actionable Intelligence is real time and requires the rapid synthesis of vast amounts of intelligence data including data from multiple sources including human intelligence (HUMINT), signals intelligence (SIGINT), Imagery Intelligence (IMINT) and Geo-spatial Intelligence (GEOINT) and others.

1.2 (U//FOUO) This specific component of the Actionable Intelligence Program is a multi faceted capability consisting of Imagery Systems Specialist, Geospatial Intelligence Analyst and associated specialty skills sets that contribute to the geospatial imagery intelligence collection, analysis and exploitation. Personnel supporting this effort will be integrated, based on skill sets, into intelligence operations. Support is provided at both permanent facilities and mobile locations in order to accomplish USSOCOM priorities and tasks in accordance with guidance, policies, and mandates of the Department of Defense, U.S. laws, International law, and International agreements.

1.3 (U//FOUO) The JGASS contract will provide the most proficient and capable Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT) Analysts who are experienced with Processing, Exploitation and Dissemination (PED) of imagery product utilizing a variety of advanced geospatial techniques leveraging multiple GEOINT data sets.

1.4 (U//FOUO) The primary task of the majority of JGASS Analysts will be focused on conducting Full Motion Video (FMV) PED from air, space, ground, and maritime Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) assets. Analysts will be expected to produce extremely detailed analytical products to build Patterns of Life (PoL) and target descriptions. In addition, analysts will be conducting order of battle analysis, Activity Based Intelligence (ABI), Battle Damage Assessment (BDA), and employing traditional Imagery Intelligence (IMINT) tradecraft. FMV Analysts will also be expected to perform traditional PED on electrooptical, infrared, radar motion and still frame imagery. Analysts will also be trained and expected to deploy as ISR Tactical Controllers.

1.5 (U//FOUO) Additional tasks for JGASS Analysts will be focused on Full Spectrum GEOINT (FSG) and Terrain/Geospatial Analysis. FSG Analysts will primarily be focused on Analysis and PED of GEOINT Measurement and Signature Intelligence (MASINT) of Spectral, Radar and Infrared datasets. Production will include but will not be limited to specialized radar analysis, thermal analysis, terrain categorization, multi and hyper-spectral analysis. Geospatial analysts will primarily be focused on highly detailed terrain/geospatial analysis and production. Production will include but will not be limited to image rectification, terrain analysis and specialized map production. All analysts will be expected to participate in the primary and secondary tasks of the contract as required.

2. (U//FOUO) Scope: USSOCOM has a validated requirement to provide Geospatial Intelligence and Imagery Intelligence Analysts in support of on-going and future operations that are executed in Declared Theaters of Active Armed Conflict (DTAAC) and Outside Declared Theaters of Active Armed Conflict (ODTAAC). The purpose of this support is to contribute to the actionable intelligence capability through the use of personnel within the functional spectrum of Imagery Intelligence (IMINT) and Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT). This support directly contributes to the USSOCOM capability to meet known and emergent mission requirements and operations assigned by the Secretary of Defense.

The current known total Fulltime Equivalent (FTE) CONUS requirement is outlined in Table 3.0 with the current known OCONUS requirements outlined in table 3.1. The total known FTE requirement is 226 contractor personnel. The 35 OCONUS FTE positions are filled on a rotational basis by with the appropriate labor category in the total FTE pool. The FTE requirements stated in Tables 3.0 and 3.1 are the estimated requirement anticipated at the start of contract performance. The number of FTEs is subject to adjustment throughout the period of performance depending on operational requirements. Any adjustment is anticipated to be within plus or minus 10% of the current known requirement. The majority of the support is provided in CONUS at Government facilities; however, all FTEs shall be prepared and must be capable of deploying worldwide. OCONUS support may be conducted at established U.S. DOD or Allied Forces facilities, bases, camps, posts or stations. Support may also be conducted in less developed and austere locations. Locations are subject to change at any time throughout the performance of this contract. Currently, OCONUS rotations are planned and scheduled for 120 days in duration. Rotations may be longer or shorter in duration depending on mission requirements. The OCONUS requirement specified in table 3.1 is estimated based on current known requirements and is subject to change based on operational requirements.
