UNCLASSIFIED

Section L – Factor 1-Technical (Vol I)

L.6.1. Subfactor 1.1: Hardware Product Line Implementation [20 page limit, Paper 1] (continued)

In preparing its written response to this subfactor, the offeror should consider the information below.

The Project Manager Training Devices (PM TRADE) live training domain includes the Live Training Transformation (LT2) product line. This product line consists of open architectures, common components, standards, processes, policies, governance, documentation, and other core assets that make up the common approach and frameworks for developing live training systems. Examples of the many types of training systems in the LT2 product line domain include: Military

Operations on Urban Terrain (MOUT), Home Station, Combat Training Centers (CTCs), instrumented live-fire range training, and other LT2 users’ systems to include the Marine Corps.

The LT2 vision has been and continues to be to create a family of live training systems using common methodologies

(e.g.; common architecture and common data, standards, processes, components and services). This commonality facilitates the rapid development of new products but also ensures that products across the LT2 product line can communicate and interoperate with each other. This is important because large training exercises need to employ different kinds of training systems working together. The LT2 product line makes use of plug and play components, services and applications that are common between products, and permits changes, upgrades and fixes developed for one product to be applied to others. This concept provides the inherent logistics support benefits that derive from commonality, standardization and interoperability including the reduction of total life cycle costs.

The LT2 focus is to support the LT2 vision to evolve common live training solutions and to improve cost efficiencies in a resource-limited environment, thereby to:

• Protect the significant live training investment.

• Provide for the continued development, production, and sustainment of LT2 products and ease the insertion of new and disruptive technology.

UNCLASSIFIED

Section L – Factor 1-Technical (Vol I)

L.6.1. Subfactor 1.1: Hardware Product Line Implementation [20 page limit, Paper 1] (continued)

• Realize objectives for return on investment and sustainment cost avoidance.

• Enable managers to maintain visibility and provide enhanced configuration control of their systems, to avoid duplicating efforts.

It is the objective of the LCPM contract to develop a HPL by ensuring standardization, commonality, synchronization, maximum reuse, core asset reuse, and interoperability within the PM TRADE’s live training systems to include the LT2

P/L. The HPL should allow the Government to save significant resources (time and funding) in the future by utilizing this approach. This paper will inform the Government as to how the contractor will achieve these objectives.

Hypothetical scenario: PM TRADE currently has multiple programs of record with fielded systems in various locations requiring both CTR and hardware obsolescence resolution. These programs of record have not completed their CTR and obsolescence management requirements in anticipation of LCPM addressing their comprehensive life-cycle management tasks. The paper shall cover the technical aspects of the hypothetical scenario where the Government issues five delivery orders(DO)s all within 120 days after the basic contract award and the award of DO 0001 and DO

0002. The scenario will include additional DOs for the following programs of record:

a. Digital Range Training System (DRTS) at three locations

b. Target Modernization at 20 locations

c. Joint Pacific Multinational Readiness Capability Instrumentation System (JPMRC-IS) at one location

d. Homestation Instrumentation Training System (HITS) at two locations

e. An additional 10 Integrated MOUT Training System( I-MTS) locations

UNCLASSIFIED

Section L – Factor 1-Technical (Vol I) L.6.2 Subfactor 1.2: Hardware Product-Line Engineering [15 page limit, Paper 2]

The offeror shall describe their technical understanding and experience with a hardware centric product line regarding a product's or product-line's configuration throughout the entire lifecycle from concept development to disposal. The offeror shall describe their experience with continuously managing complex interdependent changes of a hardware centric product line initiated by various technical factors (changes, enhancements, innovations) and business stakeholders. The offeror shall identify and address the significant challenges/risks and accompanying mitigations associated with the implementation and management of a hardware centric product line.

The offeror shall describe their strategy for maintaining awareness of existing and emerging technologies that align with the LT2 Product-Line Domain. The offeror shall describe their strategy for forecasting and implementing new capabilities in the LT2 HPL due to technology improvements. The offeror shall describe their plan for incorporating existing, evolving and disruptive capabilities, new technologies, and/or new system implementations into the LT2 HPL in order to reduce the logistics footprint and total ownership costs across the LT2 Product-Line domain as well as increase the relevancy/realism of the training. The offeror shall describe their near and long term implementation goals of LCPM and how they support innovation, lifecycle impacts, benefits, cyber security tradeoffs via a technology roadmap.

The offeror shall describe their approach to identify, collect, analyze, present data in support of the HPL implementation and describing the Government's Return on Investment (ROI). The offeror shall describe how they will use metrics and analytics to measure and quantify the ROI that their HPL has achieved in support of the PM TRADE business goals.

The offeror shall detail their plan to utilize metrics and analytics to facilitate decision making of the implementation, integration, deployment, evolution, support and sustainment of the HPL.

The offeror shall describe and provide evidence of how their proposed technical approach to lifecycle management will benefit (i.e. reduced costs and footprint, increased capability) the Government for the LT2 programs while increasing training realism and relevancy.

UNCLASSIFIED

Section L – Factor 1-Technical (Vol I)

L.6.2 Subfactor 1.2: Hardware Product-Line Engineering [15 page limit, Paper 2] (continued)

In preparing its written response to this subfactor, the offeror should consider the information below.

The below paragraphs provide context specifically for the Tech Roadmap:

One of the main methodologies for the Army to maintain system relevance and to achieve life-cycle cost savings is through the development and insertion of new technologies into its training systems and the management of the training systems. All of the training systems, the HPL, and the processes/tools used to manage the product lines need to evolve over time in order to remain relevant and to provide realistic training to the ever changing threats the Army faces. The

Tech Roadmap will provide insight into how the contractor will help the Government achieve these objectives.

The below paragraph provides context for the metrics:

The offerors proposed metrics shall be divided into two different segments for LCPM. There shall be metrics which allow the Government insight to the benefit LCPM has provided and metrics applied to the data from the HPL and fielded systems.

UNCLASSIFIED

Section L – Factor 1-Technical (Vol I) L.6.3 Subfactor 1.3: Cybersecurity and Logistics [15 page limit, Paper 3]

The offeror shall describe their processes and methodology for meeting DoD and Army Cybersecurity requirements for all components, infrastructure, and systems fielded while ensuring initial Risk Management Framework (RMF) compliance, ease of transition to Post Deployment Software Support / Post Production Software Support (PDSS/PPSS) for sustainment, and leveraging LT2 cybersecurity processes including Security Technical Implementation Guide (STIG) and

Information Assurance Vulnerability Alert (IAVA) implementation. The offeror shall describe their approach to security engineering given a migration to a distributed network infrastructure to address secure configuration management, RMF compliance, and continuous monitoring of assets.

The offeror shall describe the tools and processes it will use to obtain, analyze and share life cycle sustainment data in accordance with the LT2 Data Interface Control Document (ICD). The offeror shall describe their processes and the data analysis tools that will be used to ensure supportability goals are an integral part of their Total Life Cycle System

Management (TLCSM) strategy. The offeror shall describe their tools and processes to identify Diminishing Manufacturing

Sources/Material Shortages (DMS/MS), obsolete components and failure rate trends to establish a proactive system configuration management program to optimize the LT2 HPL.

The offeror shall describe their overall approach for meeting DO 0001, DO 0002, and future DOs logistics support requirements that will ensure efficient life cycle system operation and maintenance is maximized for current and future upgrades. The offeror shall describe their TLCSM strategy, to include how the offeror will minimize the use of new or unique system parts, support equipment, personnel or maintenance skills. The offeror shall describe their TLCSM approach for system level hardware and software components, to include how the offeror will minimize future upgrade costs, support the LT2 HPL evolution while meeting system upgrade requirements across current and future DOs.

Inclusive to this description is the offeror's ability to minimize long-term costs associated with future upgrades for the system components. The Offeror shall describe their strategy and procedures for developing and/or managing the

Logistics Product Data / Logistics Product Data Summaries (LPD/LPDS), training materials, and technical documentation for DO 0002 and future delivery orders.

UNCLASSIFIED

Section L – Factor 1-Technical (Vol I)

L.6.3 Subfactor 1.3: Cybersecurity and Logistics [15 page limit, Paper 3] (continued)

In preparing its written response to this subfactor, the offeror should consider the information below.

The concept for the LCMP contractor will be to ensure cybersecurity compliance during implementation of technical refreshes and hardware updates to LT2 Product-line systems with sustainment then being performed by a Post

Deployment Software Support (PDSS) contractor. The LCPM contractor should ensure the system is optimized and configured to provide cybersecurity sustainment in a cost effective and efficient methodology requiring the least amount of labor hours during sustainment as resources are reduced and cybersecurity requirements increase. The

Government will expect the LCPM contractor to develop innovative concepts, procedures, and technology insertion recommendations to reduce the cybersecurity burden once the system is transitioned to the PDSS contractor.

Cybersecurity compliance may require either a full certification event with a third party validation team or an internal cybersecurity assessment, depending on the scope of the technical refresh or hardware replacement. The determination of cybersecurity compliance will be specific to each DO. The LCPM contractor will be responsible for security engineering, IAVA implementation, and cybersecurity documentation updates required by the DO.

One of the biggest challenges the Government has is to create an efficient and cost effective transition for a technical refresh as sustainment is transferred to the PDSS contractor. In many cases the PDSS contractor must reengineer the system to create efficiencies in sustainment to reduce the amount of travel to the site. The end goal is to manage the system’s cybersecurity requirements when cybersecurity personnel are not resourced to be on site, leveraging the operator/maintainer when necessary for simple, documented procedures.

L.6.3 Subfactor 1.3: Cybersecurity and Logistics [15 page limit, Paper 3] (continued)

The onsite travel and reengineering by the PDSS contractor could be eliminated if the LCPM contractor creates a transparent, efficient, and documented process. Remote management of the system’s cybersecurity compliance does not always mean a highly innovative approach is the only solution. PM TRADE is attempting to leverage innovation to make cybersecurity compliance more cost effective and secure, however basic industry best practices that could serve as near term solutions and immediately achievable given our use case are requested as well.

Hypothetical Scenario:: The XYZ Program currently has twenty one systems fielded in various CONUS and OCONUS locations. The LCPM contractor will perform an upgrade that will become the new baseline for the type accreditation of

XYZ program.

The below paragraph to provide context for Logistics Management:

One of the biggest challenges that TRADE faces in its life-cycle management of its programs is the on-going requirements to keep their systems operational after the Original Equipment Manufacturer has completed fielding of the system and it has transitioned to STRI’s life-cycle sustainment contractor. The Government is looking for ways to improve the logistics processes as they pertain to life-cycle management, for example performing failure rate analysis, planning for rather than reacting to obsolescence, reducing sustainment costs, reducing the cost/time required to develop logistical documentation, etc. This paper will provide insight into how the contractor will help the Government achieve these objectives.

L.7.1 Subfactor 2.1: Overall Management Approach [20 page limit, Paper 4] (continued)

In preparing its written response to this subfactor, the offeror should consider the information below.

The below paragraph provides context for life-cycle management: Currently, PM TRADE conducts fielding and total system life-cycle management for a diverse array of live training systems through an equally diverse mix of contracts.

The LCPM contract’s objective is to consolidate the contractual execution of life-cycle management toward unity of effort and to also implement a HPL to achieve cost savings and standardization of hardware components to the greatest practicable extent. The challenge for the Government is to effectively and efficiently manage the roadmap toward an HPL with an emphasis on knowledge of legacy systems and integration of new and emerging technologies back into the HPL. Governance of these methodologies will be implemented by the LT2 Core Asset Working Group

(CAWG), industry partners, the LCPM contractor, CPM Next contractor, Warfighter Focus and Army TADSS

Maintenance Program (ATMP) contractors, PM TRADE Assistant Product Managers for their individual programs, and

PM TRADE leadership. The LCPM contractor must be able to seamlessly integrate into the governance framework and provide responsive support to the diverse mix of PLs affecting PM TRADE objectives.

The below paragraphs provide context for IMS: The contractor shall provide an IMS as reference document as a

Microsoft Project file. The IMS shall only identify items at the task level (no additional details) and will not be included in the page count. The paper shall cover the offerors Integrated Master Schedule (IMS) to include dependencies and linkages between DO 0001 and DO 0002. Plan for teaming, subcontract management plan, small business goals, ability to adjust staffing and resource allocation methodology in support of LCPM shall be addressed. It shall also cover the management concept and planning that is common amongst the DOs (existing and future).

Section L – Factor 2-Management (Vol I)

L.7.1 Subfactor 2.1: Overall Management Approach [20 page limit, Paper 4] (continued)

The paper shall cover the offeror’s plan to execute DO 0001.

The effort to stand up the Hardware Product-Line forms the initial basis for achieving a workable HPL. As such, the background work on the HPL must be conducted in a logical and timely manner in order to expeditiously establish the

HPL and realize cost-benefits of stream-lined operations. The standing up of the HPL will entail the analysis of multiple systems/programs at multiple sites to establish baseline criterion and then synthesize the base data back into the HPL.

This paper shall cover the offerors plan on how they will execute the establishment of the HPL as part of the DO 0001 effort.

The DO 0002 effort is indicative of the typical Continuous Technology Refreshment (CTR) scope of a LCPM contract

DO. The Government is seeking a level of innovation and strategy to employ the initial HPL and to make this effort more efficient and cost effective as the initial HPL continues to evolve and mature. This paper shall cover the offeror’s plan to execute DO 0002. It shall cover the identification, mitigation, and implementation of management and technical risks/challenges for this DO. It shall cover the analysis to meet the LCPM goals while contributing to the HPL objectives as they pertain to this DO. It shall cover the offerors management approach to perform CTR for the multiple Integrated

MOUT Training System (I-MTS) sites.

L.7.2 Subfactor 2.2: Delivery Order Implementation [20 page limit, Paper 5] (continued)

In preparing its written response to this subfactor, the offeror should consider the information below.

The offeror shall address the following potential scenario in its description of the management of multiple DOs: PM

TRADE currently has multiple programs of record with fielded systems in various locations requiring both CTR and hardware obsolescence resolution. These programs of record have not competed their CTR and obsolescence management requirements in anticipation of LCPM addressing their comprehensive life-cycle management tasks. This paper shall cover the management aspects of the hypothetical scenario where the Government issues five delivery orders all within 120 days after basic contract award and the award of DO 0001 and DO 0002. The scenario will include additional DOs for the following programs of record:

a. Digital Range Training System (DRTS) at three locations

b. Target Modernization at 20 locations

c. Joint Pacific Multinational Readiness Capability Instrumentation System (JPMRC-IS) at one location

d. Homestation Instrumentation Training System (HITS) at two locations
