Section C - Descriptions and Specifications

STATEMENT OF WORK

Special Operations Forces Core Services Support

IDIQ Level Statement of Work (SOW)

1.0 Background. The United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) is a Unified Combatant Command of the Department of Defense (DoD). USSOCOM’s mission is to “Provide fully capable Special Operations Forces to defend the United States and its interests.” This also includes five command priorities: “Compete and Win for the Nation; Preserve and Grow Readiness; Innovate for Future Threats; Advance Partnerships; and Strengthen our Force and Family”. These priorities support USSOCOM’s ongoing efforts to ensure SOF are highly trained, properly equipped and deployed to the right places at the right times for the right missions.

1.1 Services Imperatives. In addition to the command priorities, USSOCOM SOF AT&L’s PEO-Services focuses on three “imperatives” in providing the command with professional services support: Stability, Agility, and Reach.

The Command considers these qualities to be essential in accomplishing the requirements of this SOW. In a “Ways / Means / Ends” paradigm, these imperatives are “Ends”. As they apply to this SOW, these imperatives are defined as follows:

1.1.1 STABILITY is primarily about mission continuity. While there are multiple ways to achieve and sustain continuity, USSOCOM is specifically interested in retaining high quality and applicable institutional knowledge and minimizing workforce turbulence. Stability is catalyzed by respectable and credible management and leadership, and is enabled by discrete and dedicated resources in support of any contract/task-order transition. It requires competitive compensation plans that incentivize on-the-job performance and loyalty to mission support. It includes an ability to solve personnel issues efficiently and effectively, and enables opportunities for individual growth and development.

1.1.2 AGILITY is the ability to manage a professional workforce in USSOCOM’s dynamic environment that evolves at the “speed of SOF”. It includes an ability to surge capacity, manage change, and respond to issues. It requires a balance between simplicity and complexity that ensures necessary complex tools are available, but simple to find and apply. Agile management is available to the customer, and proximate to issues to which it must respond.

Such management has organic resources that can be directly applied in support of the mission, with minimum (or

no) need to secure additional permissions to apply them.

1.1.3 REACH is manifested by applying the network and knowledge of the entire enterprise(s) of the team. It includes a demonstrated ability to place and care for employees in remote places worldwide, and access to established nodes that holistically interconnect USSOCOM’s global tasks. Reach is both functional and physical – it can positively impact logistics as well as provide external perspectives that contribute to solution development.

1.2 Location. For the purposes of this SOW when support to the USSOCOM Enterprise is specified this shall include HQ USSOCOM - MacDill AFB FL and its subordinate Component Commands and all of their requisite locations (both CONUS and OCONUS), United States Army Special Operations Command (USASOC) - Fort Bragg, NC; Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) - Fort Bragg, NC; Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) - Hurlburt Field, FL; Marine Special Operations Command (MARSOC) - Camp Lejeune, NC; Naval Special Warfare Command (NAVSPECWARCOM) - Coronado, CA; and the Theater Special Operations Commands (TSOCs) in various locations.
