Center of Army Analysis – CAA Subject Matter Expertise Support Market Survey

1. Market Survey Request. Army Contracting Command – Detroit Arsenal (ACC-DTA) is releasing this Market Survey to identify prospective sources capable of providing subject matter expertise on the Cost Comparison Analysis Tool for Stationing for the Center for Army Analysis (CAA).

2. Clarification of this action. This request is for a market survey. It is an inquiry intended to measure the level of industry interest and capabilities. This is not a pre-solicitation notice or Request for Proposal (RFP), no questions will be answered at this time nor will a contract be awarded from this announcement. Participation in this survey from a potential offeror is solely voluntary; no reimbursements will be made for costs associated with participation in this survey. Data submitted to the Government will not be returned but will remain archived as part of historical records. The period of performance for this effort shall be for 12 months plus three 12-month option years. Lastly, participation in this market survey, while important to Army and DoD stationing and cost analysts, is neither mandatory nor is it requisite for future participation by the potential offeror in forthcoming Government solicitations.

The CAA and ACC-DTA are conducting a market survey to identify small businesses capable of providing subject matter expertise services which includes knowledge of the prior Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) rounds and other strategic and day-to-day stationing analysis, the Cost of Base Realignment Actions (COBRA) model, the 2016 OSD-led joint process action team, the Cost Comparison Analysis Tool for Stationing (CCATS), cost analysis and estimating, stationing analysis, and model testing. Critical tasks include the continued testing of the CCATS model: both algorithms and functionality, subject matter expertise on continued improvements and changes to the CCATS model currently being developed, and training and continued support to the DoD and Army model users.
