. Both the Deputy Commandant for Mission Support (DCMS) and the Personnel Service Center (PSC) had program management leadership changes in the past eighteen (18) months resulting in a change to the core vision, a change in PSC duties and a new charter affecting staffing standards and an expansion of Direct Access. These changes along with the last government shutdown for thirty-five (35) days resulted in significant delays in completion of HSCG23-17-F-PMA917 requirements. The estimated timeframe to complete HSCG23-17-F-PMA917 requirements is now three years including this follow-on order. The logical follow-on one year BPA order will use Harkcon’s specialized knowledge to conclude the analysis at a point where a competitive two year task order under the Human Capital and Training Solutions (HCaTS) contract vehicle can be procured to complete the requirements. The current period of performance is 29 September 2019 to 28 March 2020. The follow-on BPA order period of performance will be from 29 March 2020 to 28 March 2021.
