1.1. GENERAL: This is a non-personal services contract to provide analytical and engineering support services to the United States Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC)
Analysis Center (TRAC) in support of mission requirements. As such the Government shall not exercise any supervision or control over the contract service providers performing the services herein. All personnel engaged in performing the services under this contract (direct labor, subcontracted labor, material suppliers, etc.) shall be accountable solely to the Contractor who, in turn is responsible to the Government.
1.2. Description of Services and Introduction: The Contractor shall provide all labor, management, supervision, supplies, materials, equipment, training, and tools, necessary to perform modeling and simulations, scenarios, war gaming, exercise and experimentation, security, technical reports office, analysis and engineering mission support of TRAC as defined in this Performance Work Statement not otherwise provided as Government-furnished property

1.3. Background: TRAC is located in four different locations: TRAC - White Sands Missile
Range, New Mexico (TRAC –WSMR); TRAC - Fort Lee, VA, (TRAC – Lee); TRAC –
Monterey, CA, (TRAC – MTRY); and TRAC Fort Leavenworth, KS (TRAC-HQ) (TRAC -
FLVN). TRAC’s primary mission is to produce relevant and credible operations analysis to inform decisions about the Army’s most important and challenging issues. TRAC serves as the principal analytical organization of TRADOC, while unaligned with TRADOC proponents.
TRAC provides centralized leadership and management of analysis for combat, training, and doctrinal developments. TRAC conducts studies and analyses for TRADOC and Headquarters, Department of Army (HQDA); conducts studies of the integrated battlefield related to doctrine, organization, training, materiel, personnel, and leadership; designs and develops models and simulations (M&S) for capabilities development; participates in technical exchange programs at the national and international levels; provides analytical support to Army Capabilities Integration
Center (ARCIC), Centers of Excellence (CoE), and schools; directs research related to methods, models, and analysis; establishes, maintains, and manages the databases, scenarios, models, and war gaming tools required to support analyses and studies; and reviews and ensures, as directed, the quality of TRADOC studies before their approval.
1.3.1. TRAC’s Federal Laboratory Consortium for Technology Transfer (FLC) is the nationwide network of federal laboratories that provides the forum to develop strategies and opportunities for linking laboratory mission technologies and expertise with the marketplace. TRAC was designated a federal lab on 15 October 1993. This designation allows TRAC to partner with public and private organizations in order for knowledge and capabilities to be shared for the greater good. This technology transfer capability may include, Commercial technology transfer for government applications, Collaborative research and development between government and non-government activities, Ad hoc technical assistance and Mission-related technology transfer between Government activities.
1.3.2. TRAC’s Federal Laboratory conducts studies and analyses of the Joint, integrated, combined arms battlefield IAW policies and guidance related to the Advanced Concept
Requirements (ACR) Domain. TRAC focuses on ACR and Research and Development (R&D) issues, conducting Analysis of Alternatives and other studies as directed. TRAC supports the
ACR and R&D domains with analysis, training, and experimentation related to Doctrine, Organizations, Training, Materiel, Leadership and Education, Personnel, and Facilities
(DOTMLPF). To accomplish the assigned work, TRAC develops, maintains, configuration manages, and operates combat simulations.
1.4. Objectives: The Contractor shall provide specific technical requirements for modeling and simulations, scenarios, war gaming, exercise and experimentation, analysis and engineering, technical reports office, and security mission support for TRAC.
1.5. Scope: The Contractor shall furnish all management, administrative, supervisory, and technical support as well as other resources necessary for, and incidental to, the furnishing of the services.
