Source Selection Sensitive Performance Work Statement in Support of Capabilities Development Directorate for Technical and Operational Support Services (TOSS)

1.0 INTRODUCTION

The scope of this effort includes provisions for technical, analytical, engineering, subject matter expertise, administrative support, and capability portfolio management support to the Director, Capabilities Development Directorate (CDD), as well as the Marine Corps Warfighting Laboratory (MCWL), Deputy Commandant for Combat Development and Integration (DC CD&I). CDD has a requirement for technical, analytical, engineering, and capability portfolio management (CPM) support. Critical capabilities within this effort include the development of comprehensive Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System (JCIDS) and Business Capability Acquisition Cycle documents, as well as analysis of existing capabilities to define capability requirements, capability gaps, and solutions to provide those capabilities. This effort will support both recurring and ad hoc requirements to provide Capabilities Planning assessment components (Capabilities Analysis, Gap Analysis, Solutions Analysis, and Risk Analysis) and conduct assessments of current and future readiness metrics, via development of Mission Essential Tasks and training and education standards development. MCWL requires dedicated support respective to subordinate divisions and staff sections or across one or more elements of the command. Supported elements include the G-codes and executing divisions. Performance areas include both overarching and Division-centric support areas that will be delineated by individual task orders.
