Contract Title: Operational Readiness and Currency Integration

Introduction

Navy Medicine has clearly defined requirements to advance operational readiness and currency through an integrated services approach. The current approach includes numerous disaggregated and siloed efforts across multiple echelons thereby limiting comprehensive readiness. Navy Medicine leaders require accurate and timely access to readiness related data and analysis that reflects current, proposed and emerging capabilities. The integrated platform approach will fuse Navy Medicine analytic capabilities and capacity into readiness and currency nexus that is fully unified and coherent throughout the organization, providing seamless and comprehensive insights across the echelon 1-5 organizations.

To close the gap in advanced analytic capabilities supporting executive-level decisions, Navy Medicine must elevate the current suite of readiness tools to a comprehensive platform-as-a-service solution able to leverage all disparate data sources for predictive modeling, while positioning the platform to integrate with the joint force. Enhancing the current suite of tools to a holistic platform that adds training, logistics, and maintenance data to the personnel readiness and risk data will bring a holistic readiness modeling platform to accurately report a clear readiness picture to senior leaders. Application of operations research and data science techniques through an enhanced platform will enable Navy Medicine leadership to make high fidelity risk and resource-informed operational readiness focused decisions. The vision of the enhanced readiness platform will leverage previous work on knowledge, skills, and abilities to bring a currency picture that empowers leaders with actionable insights on critical wartime specialty currency.

As part of advancing the Navy Medicine analytic agenda, the enterprise must organize its analytic effort to meet the highest priority requirements. Improving Navy Medicine readiness reporting capabilities requires creating long term investments aimed at advancing and containerizing current tool sets as well as expanding the analytic problem set. The organization must continue to focus on increasing analytic agility to work through crises such as COVID-19 and emerging threats with medical superiority.

The focus of these activities will be focused on operational medicine and advancing Navy

Medicine’s ability to prepare, plan, forecast, predict, synthesize, and manage operational medicine data and analysis across operational components that have Surgeon General of the

Navy equities. Operational readiness and currency are two primary focal points for delivery in this work performance. Identifying and monitoring on the operational readiness and currency of

Navy Medicine personnel is not adequate going forward and advanced technical decision support requires optimized solutions that integrate the attributes that make a ready medical force.

Reporting on readiness related activities is another key metric in achieving the desired end state.

The Surgeon General and other key leaders must have the most relevant and accurate analysis to make informed decisions at the highest level of Naval operations.

Background

The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) of 2016 and 2017 directed Navy Medicine to focus on readiness activities and operational medicine. Large scale changes to the military health system (MHS) created an environment where Navy Medicine can meet this directive.

Navy Medicine has begun implementing data science and analytic methods consistent with higher-level initiatives of the Department of Defense (DoD) and the Defense Health Agency

(DHA). Despite progress, Navy Medicine continues to rely on ad hoc developed products built with transactional data. Fully implementing modern analytic and technical development in the form of a unified analytic platform will provide Navy Medicine holistic integration and adaptability to new problem sets as they emerge from the operational environment. For Navy

Medicine to achieve success on their new focus, they must make optimal planning and programmatic decisions that generate readiness, answer complex inquiries, and predict potential outcomes to leverage opportunities and mitigate risks as events unfold.

To generate readiness, Navy Medicine requires rigorous analytic capabilities that determine to define readiness, particularly in medical staff clinical skills and currency. Navy Medicine must capture and monitor the full breadth of skills across all Corps and specialties to ensure operational readiness is maintained throughout its enterprise. This approach and measure must consider the data available to enable enhanced decision support through data science and analytics. These data science, analytic tools, and capabilities provide Navy Medicine with improved agility and leverages data effectively to improve readiness. Navy Medicine must continue to modernize its data architectures as it moves toward becoming a rapid response and efficiently functioning organization. Currently, Navy Medicine analytic services are the responsibility of the business problem owner, which infers solutions are designed with a single functional area in mind, limiting the advancement and application of solutions from enterprise-wide use and future joint interoperability.

To begin building interoperability with holistic readiness analysis as a goal, this contract vehicle will provide inclusive and coordinated analytic capabilities across the entire purview of both the Chief, Bureau of Medicine and Surgery (BUMED), and the Surgeon General of the

Navy (SG), to include the:

Medical Resources, Plans, and Policy Division, Office of the Chief of Naval

Operations (OPNAV N0931);

Medical Systems Integration and Combat Survivability Division (OPNAV N44);

Medical Officer of the Marine Corps (TMO), The inclusive and coordinated analytic capabilities will extend to key operational decision makers in the Navy and Fleet Marine Forces (FMF) through a coordinated effort within OPNAV and TMO, as well as Naval Medical Readiness Training Centers/Units (NMRTC/U). This contract vehicle will provide operational readiness analytics, with broad and immediate impacts to the Navy Medicine analytic enterprise.

Objective

The objective of this contract is to advance operational readiness, currency, and readiness reporting across the enterprise through integrated and scalable readiness and currency analysis.

By enhancing the current suite of readiness tools to a platform-as-a-service, this integrated analytics effort will consolidate the direction of the Chief, BUMED and Surgeon General. A holistic analytic approach synthesized by an advanced analytic team facilitates an optimized workflow, allowing the analytic workstreams to leverage the numerous disparate data sources.

This supports advancing Navy Medicine’s data science and analytic portfolio of capabilities in a manner that is consistent with mainstream industry standards.

Scope

Navy Medicine’s duties are vast, varied, and are all aligned to the overarching goal of creating a ready medical force to enable a medically ready force. These activities will advance

Navy Medicine’s previous work in analytic tools development to a platform-based approach that incorporates enterprise-wide actionable decision support through hardened, scalable, and highly available architecture with a matured user driven interface. This will encompass several key service areas that include data collection and engineering, analytic tools development and sustainment and decision support through analysis combined with deep subject matter and business expertise.

By enabling analytic rigor and principles of high reliability, leaders and decision makers are equipped with the ability to quantitatively analyze and report on their organization in a manner that is consistent with the values and strategy presented in the SG’s January 2020 operations order (OPORD). In FY21 and beyond, Navy Medicine will require support to provide these analytic capabilities alongside deep operational medical subject matter expertise, both from within BUMED and extending into the broader OPNAV program offices, Medical Forces

Commands (MEDFORCOMs), and Navy Fleet. Specifically, this means Navy Medicine must be able to support:

Readiness Performance Planning Processes, Total Force Personnel Risk Management, Readiness and Mobilization Strategy, Capability and Force Structure Development, Force Allocation and Synchronization, Personnel Inventory Staffing; and

Ad-Hoc, Emergent, and Planned Scenario Analysis

This initiative includes leveraging and expanding analytic capabilities; particularly modeling and simulation (M&S) approaches, such as quantitative, qualitative, architectural, linear, non-linear, deterministic, stochastic, statistical, network, discrete event, agent based, and system dynamics modeling. Specifically, the contractor shall provide expertise that enables the discovery, analysis, recommendations, and solutions for both existing and future requirements, programs, and initiatives. In this effort, the contractor will integrate tools, such as the Medical

Military All Corps Requirements Estimator (MedMACRE); the Total Force Risk Analysis

(TFRA) model; and processes that capture all Requests for Forces (RFF) and Requests for

Support (RFS) from Navy and Marine Corps demands for incorporation into long term efforts.

This effort also includes emerging technology tools that explicitly assess enterprise risks.

The contractor will further establish a blended team of domain, analytic, and technical experts to shape, prioritize, and perform high-value readiness decision support activities. The contractor will focus on bringing immediate value to Navy Medicine’s readiness challenges and will take decisive shaping actions towards establishing a comprehensive enterprise readiness management solution through foundational advanced technical capabilities. The contractor team under this effort will identify and prioritize analytic use cases and will provide decision support outcomes as a means of meeting short-term needs, while putting technologically sound long-term solutions in the hands of Navy Medicine action officers. The rapid start performance at the outset of the performance period base year is particularly important. The contractor shall have access to and possess expertise in all the following systems for use to support this project:

4.0 Task 4 – Modeling in Support of Institutional and Operational Risk Analysis.

4.1 – The contractor shall develop a tool suite that serves as a core data foundation to enable consistency and rapid adaptation of tools and capabilities. The contractor shall also perform the required platform processes, validation, and aggregation of data from multiple sources to provide quick and easy access to clean data.

4.2 – The contractor shall continue to enhance existing tools that predict future force availability by considering interactions between deployments, limiting factors, gains/losses, and policy parameters. These tools are required to analytically determine the feasibility of force flow by considering limited parameters, such as substitutions and divestitures. The tool set must also quickly analyze the feasibility of force flow to understand where inventory falls short of demand for both critical wartime specialties (CWS) and units using different demand scenarios.

Moreover, the tool must be able to forecast the availability of the total force across the range of military operations (ROMO).

4.3 – The contractor shall continue to enhance tools that capture all current and historical

RFFs and RFSs to derive the global force management demand signal for the Budget Submitting

Office, Chief, BUMED (BSO-18), and provide the planner with historical use rates. Users should be able to query and visualize data by mission, timeframe, specialty, and sourcing command

(among others).

4.4 – The contractor shall continue to enhance tools that align available inventory to a user-defined unit construct to determine the maximum number of units that can be sourced. This tool is required to act as a unit composition tool that allows user to determine unit rosters and identifies how many of those units can be filled. This tool should also identify residual population after filling units. The contractor shall also develop other risk analysis tools, as required by the government, along with new user interface.

4.5 – The contractor shall develop an agent-based simulation model with network architecture and vacancy-based promotion system. The model should provide Navy Medicine with forecasting, scenario analysis, and policy evaluation capabilities that are timely, accurate, and integrated under a single framework.

4.6 – The contractor shall develop other tools as necessary, and assess institutional and operational risk across the force, as required.

4.7 – The contractor shall develop all tools described herein with an emphasis on the end-user; all tools shall be outfitted with a graphical user interface (GUI).

4.8 – The contractor shall develop all tools with the capability, as required, for flexible deployment ranging from desktop applications to a cloud environment.

4.9 – Key Personnel. The Contractor shall provide Key Personnel that exhibit the following of operations research with specific experience in enterprise-level simulation;
