NOTE TO OFFERORS:

This solicitation is a Request for Proposal (RFP). To the extent that the terms appears in the solicitation, the terms “RFQ”, “SUBMISSION”, “QUOTE”, and “QUOTER” shall mean “RFP”, “OFFER”, “PROPOSAL” and “OFFEROR”, respectively.

POINT OF CONTACT:

The point of contact at the contracting office is Ms. Erin Kilrain, who may be reached via email at erin.kilrain.civ@us.navy.mil.

PREPARATION COSTS:

This RFP does not commit the Government to pay for the preparation and submission of a proposal.

FULL AND OPEN (ON AN UNRESTRICTED BASIS):

The proposed acquisition is being solicited on a full and open (unrestricted) basis using FAR Part 15 “Contracting by Negotiation” procedures. The proposed acquisition will be solicited using the tradeoff process, as outlined in FAR 15.101 and result in single award, Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract allowing for the resultant task orders to be issued on a cost-plus-fixed-fee (CPFF) and/or firm-fixed-price (FFP) basis.

This acquisition will be conducted using a two-step process:

Step One: Corporate/Performance Overview; and Step Two: Proposal Submission and Evaluation.

Following Step One, and in advance of the Step Two proposal submission deadline, interested sources will be notified whether they have been determined to be Viable Competitors based on the assessment of the Corporate/Performance Overview. Those interested sources determined to be Viable Competitors will be encouraged to submit a proposal in accordance with the Step Two Instructions below.

Step One: Corporate/Performance Overview

The Corporate/Performance Overview shall exclude any pricing information related to the interested source’s intended proposal.

Interested sources shall submit, on no more than two single-sided pages, using a font with a point size of 12 or greater (e.g., Times New Roman style with 12-point font):

mailto:cory.j.georgeson.civ@us.navy.mil

A Corporate/Performance Overview that includes their general approach to the solicited requirement. In addition, the Corporate/Performance Overview shall include a description of their experience on prior contracts/efforts they consider most similar to the Performance Work Statement (PWS) for the solicited requirement, and a description of any proposed teaming arrangement for this requirement. Interested sources should use their judgment on how best to demonstrate through their two-page submission that they can successfully accomplish the requirements of the PWS.

For example, an interested source with relatively limited experience related to the PWS could address its teaming arrangement or how it has the commitment of key personnel or other contractors with more relevant experience.

Interested sources should provide any other information they consider relevant to the solicitation.

All Step One submissions shall be submitted electronically via email as email attachments to the solicitation point of contact, Ms. Erin Kilrain, at erin.kilrain.civ@us.navy.mil, on or before 1100am PHILADELPHIA TIME on 30 April 2025.

The Government will assess each Step One submission and determine which interested sources are viable competitors for award based on how well the submission demonstrates that they can successfully accomplish the requirements of the PWS, and the strength of their teaming arrangement for this requirement (if applicable). A determination that an interested source is non-viable does not necessarily mean the Government believes the interested source cannot successfully perform the requirements of the PWS. An interested source could be determined non-viable because of the strength of their submission relative to other interested sources. The Contracting Officer will notify all interested sources of their viability status in advance of the Step Two proposal submission deadline.

Note: Step One submissions that simply reiterate the requirements, generally state that the interested source possesses the capability to perform, and/or only provide general statements or paraphrase the PWS in whole or in any part will be considered non-viable.

Step Two: Proposal Submission and Evaluation

Potential offerors are encouraged to carefully review all solicitation requirements and, if they have questions concerning the solicitation, should submit one consolidated list of questions concerning the solicitation via email to the solicitation point of contact, Ms. Erin Kilrain, at erin.kilrain.civ@us.navy.mil. The time and date for submission of questions is on or before 1100am PHILADELPHIA TIME on 07 May 2025.

Step Two proposals and any modifications thereto are to be received by the Contracting Office on or before 1200pm PHILADELPHIA TIME on 19 May 2025. All Step Two proposals shall be submitted electronically via email as email attachments to the solicitation point of contact, Ms. Erin Kilrain, at erin.kilrain.civ@us.navy.mil.

PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

Performance Work Statement (PWS) for Navy Analytic Studies Program

OPNAV N80

May 2024

1. Introduction

The Deputy Chief of Naval Operations (DCNO) for Integration of Capabilities and Resources (N8) exercises centralized supervision and coordination of Navy’s capability analysis and assessments, allocation and integration of the Navy’s resources in the Planning, Programming, Budgeting, and Execution (PPBE) System, and determination of technical requirements. Within N8, the Navy Programming Division (N80) directs the Programming Phase of the PPBE process. N80 is responsible for final development and balancing of the Navy portion of the DoN Program Objectives Memorandum (POM) and for defending it through the annual Defense department program review process, which leads to the final Department of Defense (DoD) budget presented annually to Congress. The staff develops and implements procedures to collect, evaluate, and devise funding strategies to meet the programmatic priorities of the DoD, Secretary of the Navy, CNO, Fleet and Fleet Combatant Commanders.

2. Background

In the current maritime environment, characterized by an accelerating rate of technological evolution, and the challenges to win in the Great Power Competition described in the National Defense Strategy (NDS), the Navy requires a strategy-aligned analytic environment and process to rapidly and cumulatively build relevant knowledge.

This approach enhances our Navy’s ability to learn and adapt faster than our adversaries. The analytic environment will derive from priorities in the Navy’s strategic and concept documents, and enable continuous learning from fleet exercises, experiments and war games to inform the decisions necessary to develop our architecture, design, plans and program portfolio.

Today’s Navy remains vital to our strategic goals, national security, and economic prosperity. The emerging strategic environment is defined by a combination of recognizable trends and consequential uncertainties. These recognizable trends and consequential uncertainties point toward an increased demand for maritime presence, power and influence achieved through both credible combat capabilities and collaborative approaches to security challenges. As the evolving security environment tests our ability to meet this demand, it is critical that the Navy closely align its investments with national strategy. In this environment, it is more important than ever that we identify and deliver the right capabilities for our future force.

In the wake of recent budget guidance, we must pursue our priorities effectively and efficiently; innovate to maximize our forward presence, evolve our warfighting capability and remain ready for today’s challenges even as we prepare for the future.

3. Scope

This Performance Work Statement (PWS) covers the use of modeling, simulation and analysis tools and techniques to support Navy’s performance of its analytic portfolio, as described in paragraphs 1 and 2. The contractor shall provide warfare and warfare support analyses and assessments, campaign analyses, mission level analyses, data analytics, modeling and simulation (M&S), and management and documentation support. The analytic support shall encompass all aspects of joint campaign, mission and engagement level modeling as well as manpower and personnel, training and education, infrastructure, long-term planning, policy, medical logistics planning, and both afloat and ashore readiness. The analytic capabilities will include experimentation, demonstrations, and wargaming elements that enable exploration of operational options and identification of operator objectives and considerations.

The contractor shall be required to provide coordination across the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations (OPNAV) staff, the Fleet, Systems Commands (SYSCOMs), Combatant Commanders (COCOMs), Marine Corps and other Service Staffs, Joint Staff, and Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) staff.
