Government/ Industry Partnership

Culture of efficiency

• We’re interested in what you have to say

Point out the issues and/or convince us otherwise

I wouldn’t use my time promoting

What is RAPTOR – IN ENGLISH

• SOF RAPTOR is a contract vehicle that has enabled the PdM STS team to provide agile and efficient support to the Special Operations

Forces (SOF) community (and organizations working with SOF) for

>18 years

• SOF RAPTOR has become a household name synonymous with quickly solving acquisition problems

• SOF RAPTOR I, II and III showed consistent growth, but in unforecasted areas (services, products, developmental efforts).

• Although it could be (@ 50% of the work), and has been in the past, SR IV isn’t meant to be just a pass-through vehicle. But, we also don’t want a bench of 100 capabilities that we have to continually pay for just in case

SR IV Mission

Special Operations Forces provide the nation with forces capable of executing two different, but mutually supporting forms of special operations: special warfare and surgical strike. Surgical strike provides a primarily unilateral, scalable direct action capability that is employed in counterterrorism, counter-proliferation, hostage rescue, kill/capture operations against designated targets, and other specialized tasks of strategic importance. Special warfare provides a capability that achieves impact largely by working with and through others to assess and moderate behavior, address local conditions, and/or build indigenous warfighting capability, typically in long-duration campaigns.

Factors and Subfactors

Volume 1, Factor 1: Capability

−Subfactor 1.1 Crisis Response Force (CRF) Emergency

Deployment Readiness Exercise (EDRE)

−Subfactor 1.2 Program Management

Volume 2, Factor 2: Past Performance

Volume 3, Factor 3: Cost / Price

Factor 1: Subfactor 1.1 Crisis Response Force (CRF) EDRE

Factor 1: Subfactor 1.2 Program Management

• Offeror shall describe and demonstrate their current management systems, structures, and how they will provide value to the Government in the execution of SOF RAPTOR tasks…must address the following four areas:

−Management Structure – no perfect answer

−Personnel Management – including resume for overall PM

• “SOF RAPTOR specific education” typo, should read simply “SOF”

−Exercise Management – demonstrate thorough understanding of complex pre-exercise coordination and post-exercise activities.

Provide a Realistic Military Training (RMT) packet and an After Action

Review (AAR) for a previously executed CRF, UW, or SA exercise.

The RMT packet and AAR must be in their original formats, unedited, and be from the same exercise.

−Provide a Program Management Setup Plan for Task Order 0001, IAW the Attachment 2 – Task Order 0001 Statement of Objectives.

Factor 1: Subfactor 1.3 Core Competencies

• Unconventional Warfare Exercise: Validate the readiness and capability of a Special Forces unit to conduct complex UW operations in specified AOR. Exercise will include six dynamically scripted, geographically separated training lanes.

• Special Activities Exercise: Assess readiness of a Special Forces unit to conduct sensitive activities in support of operational requirements in specified AOR. Exercise will include advanced training in “Phase 0” and “Phase 1” operational environment.

• Next Generation Soldier Tracking System (STS): Propose an integrated system of computer software and hardware designed to provide an individual tracking capability.

Factor 1: Subfactor 1.3 Core Competencies

• SOF RAPTOR Relevant Capabilities

− Discuss/demonstrate capabilities to provide

Requirements Analysis, Prototyping, Training, and

Operation Rehearsals support to the SOF community.

−The Offeror must demonstrate their technical capabilities and experience in providing SOF unique solutions within the full scope of SOF RAPTOR IV, not already covered by the above sample task orders.

Factor 2: Past Performance

• Offerors shall submit no more than seven Government and/or commercial contracts for the Prime Offeror and Major Subcontractors in performance or awarded during the past three years, from the issue date of this RFP, which are relevant to the efforts required by this solicitation.

• Labor, Indirect, and Profit/Fee rates to be locked in

Open Q & A Forum

Final Thoughts

• The Government’s plan remains DRAFT – Industry suggestions, recommendations and discussion will help shape the final package

• The SOF RAPTOR model has worked for over a decade.

Although we always try to make the next contract more efficient and user-friendly, the basic tenets of collaboration, affordability, and agility are the foundation

• Please take a look at your organization. If you don’t have the right culture, flat processes, core competencies, SOF

RAPTOR IV may not be something you want to pursue

• We will post any resulting changes or decisions to

FedBizOps for review by all Offerors.
