1.0 INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE

This is a Request for Information (RFI) for market research purposes only, issued by the Sentinel Systems Program Office. This is not a solicitation for proposals, a promise to issue a solicitation in the future, or a commitment to award a contract. The Government will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in response to this RFI. All costs associated with responding to this RFI will be solely at the interested party’s expense.

The Sentinel Program is a critical Acquisition Category 1D (ACAT 1D) Major Defense Acquisition Program (MDAP) to modernize the nation's Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) system. The program requires expert-level contractor support in managing a large and complex Integrated Master Schedule (IMS), database administration, and strategic program planning.

The purpose of this RFI is to gain a deeper understanding of the current industry capabilities to provide the specialized scheduling and program management support services detailed in the attached draft Performance Work Statement (PWS). The Government is seeking to identify qualified sources, understand available expertise, and gather information on best practices.

2.0 SUMMARY OF REQUIREMENTS

The Government requires comprehensive contractor support services for the Sentinel program. The scope of work includes, but is not limited to, the following areas:

• Primavera P6 Scheduling Management: Development and maintenance of a complex, 70,000+ line Integrated Master Schedule (IMS) using Primavera P6 EPPM.

This includes critical path analysis, data integration with Earned Value Management (EVM) systems, and user support.

• Oracle Database Administration (DBA): Management, maintenance, security, and optimization of the Oracle database environment hosting the Primavera P6 application, ensuring compliance with DoD security standards (STIGs, SRGs).

• Master Planner and Strategic Support: Development and synchronization of the program-level IMS, quantitative schedule risk assessments (SRA), "what-if" scenario modeling, and enforcement of baseline change management.

• ACAT 1D Program Support: Providing scheduling and planning input for key acquisition documents (e.g., Acquisition Strategy, Acquisition Program Baseline), supporting program milestone reviews, and providing comprehensive support for Integrated Baseline Reviews (IBR).

• Reporting and Governance: Developing executive-level dashboards and reports, responding to data calls, and supporting governance bodies such as the Schedule Review Board (SRB) and Joint Configuration Control Board (JCCB).

Key personnel are required to possess a SECRET / SAP security clearance. The primary place of performance for key personnel is onsite, any other personnel can be hybrid or remote but will require quarterly travel to Hill Air Force Base, UT.
