1.2 Background: DSS through advanced planning, collaboration, requirements clarification and communication, ensures requirements are identified, programmed and managed in a consistent and coordinated fashion. Various DSS offices require support functions and operations, through advanced planning for Integrated Product Teams (IPTs) and Working Groups (WGs), for programs and projects within the office to facilitate reviews and analyses of business processes for improvements.

Aside from accomplishing these tasks separately, as they are described in individual PWS’, the Offeror is expected to take an integrated, process-oriented approach that will result in standardized, repeatable process improvements that maximize the use of knowledge management to effectively utilize resources.
