Background

The mission of the Office of the Secretary of Defense Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation (OSD CAPE) is to provide the Department of Defense (DoD) with timely, insightful and unbiased analysis on resource allocation and cost estimation problems to deliver the optimum portfolio of military capabilities through efficient and effective use of each taxpayer dollar. In achieving this mission, one of OSD CAPE’s primary goals is to provide data driven insight into the costs of major acquisition programs. This detailed analysis enables responsible budgeting and proactive management decisions so that the Department can control cost and achieve savings. In recent years, the DoD and Congress has focused on understanding the costs incurred by weapons systems during the sustainment phase and underlying causes of these cost outcomes. culminating in Congress passing 10 U.S. Code §4325 (Major weapon systems: assessment, management, and control of operating and support costs) which assigns responsibility for “developing and maintaining a database on… actual operating and support costs for major weapon systems” to the Director, CAPE. To meet this congressional requirement, OSD-CAPE awarded contract (HQ0034-20-D-0012) to design, implement, operate, and perform platform sustainment services on the Enterprise Visibility and Management of Operating and Support Costs (EVAMOSC) data system.

This contract serves as the follow-on to that initial EVAMOSC contract (HQ0034-20-D-0012). This follow-on contract will sustain the current EVAMOSC platform while continuing to add additional capabilities, extend data collection to additional services and service source data systems while educating platform users and supporting requests for information, in increments. This Performance Work Statement covers the tasks and objectives for the single award IDIQ that are associated with the overarching EVAMOSC effort.
