PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

Joint IED Defeat Organization Performance Work Statement (PWS) For J9 Operational Analysis and Assessment Division Deployed and On-site Analytic Support

PART 1 - GENERAL INFORMATION

1.0 BACKGROUND

In 2006, the Deputy Secretary of Defense (DEPSECDEF) established the Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organization (JIEDDO) as an official Department of Defense (DoD) organization. In 2007, the Joint IED Defeat Capability Approval and Acquisition Management Process (JCAAMP) became a DoD directive which defined the rapid acquisition process unique to JIEDDO and its ability to quickly find, test, and deliver counter-improvised explosive device(C-IED) solutions to United States (US) and Coalition Forces. This requires an in-theater presence to ensure that JIEDDO is assisting deployed troops as much as possible.

The mission of JIEDDO J9 (Operations Research/Systems Analysis [ORSA]) is to conduct operations research and systems analysis to support analysis on defeating IEDs as weapons of strategic influence. In order to meet the analysis demands of the JIEDDO J9, a non-organic analysis capability must be leveraged to perform these tasks.

2.0 OBJECTIVES AND SCOPE

2.1 Deployed Analytic Support. The contractor shall provide operational assistance to JIEDDO in support of current operations. The scope of activities includes Technology Assessment and Integration and deployed and non-deployed ORSA Support.

Personnel supporting units in mission training events, readiness exercises, or pre-deployment rehearsals are expected to work up to 84 hours per week during the event. Event support requiring more than 84 hours per week will be coordinated through the appropriate channels.

2.2 On-site Analytic Support. The contractor shall also provide Geospatial and Operational Analysis to the J9 Division, JIEDDO. The work shall be performed in Arlington, Virginia and/or other Fairfax County, Virginia locations.
