Legacy in this context refers to programs at or beyond Initial Operating Capability plus five years. The model support effort will also incorporate new (non-legacy) cost estimates performed by other analysts into a single output file that will provide a long-term picture of Air Force sustainment resources requirements.

1.1.1 Scope. The main task under this Call Order contract will provide support to the legacy cost model and estimates.

2.0 Task Descriptions

The contractor shall provide legacy model and estimating support for sustainment reviews, provide the plans and non-disclosure agreements necessary to perform the tasks, as described below.

2.1 Task 1 - Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs): Access to and evaluation of data sources may require contractor personnel to develop and sign NDAs with the source organizations. During the period of performance for all tasks, the contractor will sign an NDA with the Government and private organizations as required by the Contracting Office Representative (COR). The contractor will ensure they complete NDAs before data collection begins. The contractor shall provide signed NDA forms for all contractors and subcontractors working on this contract to the COR.

2.2 Task 2 - Legacy Cost Estimates: The contractor shall operate the legacy cost model to generate legacy cost estimates. The government will provide the model template, model instruction, estimate documentation outline, and inputs to the contractor. The contractor will develop the estimates within the template using provided guide and inputs. The contractor is responsible for recommending improvements to the model and documentation.

2.2.1 Subtask – Legacy Cost Estimate Data Collection, Analysis, Results, Documentation, and Post Product Support: The contractor will review and integrate the data provided by the government to populate the Legacy Excel model template. Though not anticipated, if necessary the contractor will collect any additional information needed with the assistance of the government. The contractor shall document any new data to include the data source by database/location, person name/email, document name/point of contact, if this is not already in the template.

The contractor will normalize and adjust the data as needed and project forward using AFCAA’s best practices with the provided data and model template the legacy programs. The model template will provide an initial set of cost estimating methodologies for the contractor to use. The contractor will ensure the Microsoft Excel-based model template has appropriate documentation of methods, data, and modeling, and shall add to or amend these as necessary with government concurrence. The contractor shall generate results as required by the template and legacy model concept of operations, including both unclassified and classified model outputs.

The contractor will use the legacy model template and legacy model instructions received from the government to develop the estimates. The contractor will work with the government lead to recommend and make improvements to the structure and methodologies underlying the legacy model, along with associated documentation. The contractor will assist the government documenting resulting changes to the MS Excel model template within the legacy model instructions in MS Word. The estimate documentation explains for each cost element where the data came from, the normalization of the data, and the methods used to develop and phase the cost estimate for each element. It also includes assumptions and why the analyst made choices on data and methodology used. Another analyst should be able to duplicate the estimate results using the documentation to include full development from the rawest set of data used. Each estimate shall have separate documentation.

AFCAA/FMCY and other organizations will request estimating documentation and questions in support of various analyses. Given the large number of legacy estimates expected from this process annually, AFCAA/FMCY requires support to manage the legacy models and generate the requested information. The contractor shall respond to questions with information from analysis developed in support of task 2.2 via NIPR/SIPR e-mail, MS Excel, or MS Word and attend meetings as required as subject matter experts. The contractor shall provide any draft models, documentation, and briefs to the government for review upon request within one business day.
