GENERAL INFORMATION

C.1.0. GENERAL. This is a non-personal services contract to provide systems engineering expertise, software support programs, operations and integration support, execution centers support, event support, analytical support and studies, and special event support for operational tests events, Modeling Simulation and Instrumentation (MS&I) conducted by the U. S. Army Operational Test Command (USAOTC), Army Futures Command (AFC), and other Government organizations. The Government shall not exercise any supervision or control over the contract service providers performing the services herein. Such contract service providers shall be accountable solely to the Contractor who, in turn, is responsible to the Government. The contractor shall be required to support testing, data collection, experimentation, simulations, and support for combined Developmental Test (DT), and Operational Tests (OT), Multi-Service Tests, training activities, and other Department of Defense (DoD) activities.

C.1.1. Description of Services/Introduction. The Contractor shall provide all personnel, management, supervision, supplies, materials, equipment, training, tools, other items and non-personal services necessary to perform TTSS as defined in this Performance Work Statement (PWS) except for those items specified as Government Furnished Property (GFP) and services required to support operational test, simulation, stimulation, data collection and experimentation mission of the U. S. Army Operational Test Command (USAOTC). The Contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract.

C.1.2. Background. The USAOTC plans for, conducts, and reports on operational tests, experiments, and assessments of Army materiel and information mission area systems that provide information for the acquisition and fielding of war fighting systems.

The mission includes planning and conducting multi-service tests, reporting on system capabilities and limitations, operational effectiveness and suitability. This mission requires planning and conducting force development tests in support of the Army combat development process, performing field experiments, evaluating technology demonstrations in support of the technology base, and supporting the Army's digitization efforts. USAOTC supports the Army materiel acquisition process by managing the user testing program and conducting operational testing to support continuous comprehensive evaluation.

C.1.2.1. AMC-LEVEL PROTEST PROGRAM: Prior to submitting an agency protest, it is preferable that you first attempt to resolve your concerns with the responsible contracting officer. However, you may also file a protest to the Headquarters (HQ), Army Materiel Command (AMC). The HQ AMC-Level Protest Program is intended to encourage interested parties to seek resolution of their concerns within AMC as an Alternative Dispute Resolution forum, rather than filing a protest with the Government Accountability Office (GAO) or other external forum. Contract award or performance is suspended during the protest to the same extent, and within the same time periods, as if filed at the GAO. The AMC protest decision goal is to resolve protests within 45 calendar days from filing. To be timely, protests must be filed within the periods specified in FAR 33.103. If you want to file a protest under the HQ AMC-Level Protest Program, the protest must request resolution under that program and be sent to the address below. Headquarters U.S. Army Materiel Command Office of Command Counsel-Deputy Command Counsel 4400 Martin Road Rm: A6SE040.001 Redstone Arsenal, AL 35898-5000 Fax: (256) 450-8840 or email usarmy.redstone.usamc.mbx.protests@mail.mil The AMC-Level Protest procedures are found at: https://www.amc.army.mil/Connect/Legal-Resources/. If internet access is not available, contact the contracting officer or HQ, AMC to obtain the HQ AMC-Level Protest Procedures.

C.1.2.1. USAOTC is headquartered at Fort Hood, Texas and is a subordinate command of the U.S. Army Test and Evaluation Command (ATEC) located at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland. USAOTC is comprised of eight (8) test directorates. Four (4) test directorates are located at Fort Hood Texas (Aviation, Maneuver, Maneuver Support and Sustainment, and Mission Command). Other test directorates are located at located at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, Fort Sill, Oklahoma, Fort Huachuca, Arizona, and Fort Bliss, Texas (Airborne and Special Operations, Air and Missile Defense, Fire Support, and Intelligence Electronic Warfare). Additional information about us is located at www.otc.army.mil.

C.1.2.2. Testing of materiel and major acquisition systems is complex. Operational testing involves a major effort in the integration of simulation, stimulation, emulation, instrumentation, engineering, data management, maintenance, and field services. The flexibility and depth of professional and technical expertise attainable through a contract lends itself to meeting the operational test requirements. Professional managers, experienced engineers, programmers, and a technical staff capable of modifying and operating sophisticated test systems are required.

C.1.2.3. Simulation Systems. USAOTC uses computer systems to accurately model, simulate, and stimulate the test environment and product test data during tests.

USAOTC continually refines systems test requirements.

C.1.3. Objectives. The Contractor shall provide base, and test support functions to perform operational test events for USAOTC and other DoD activities.

C.1.4. Scope. Contract support shall provide expertise in the areas of systems engineering, software engineering, cybersecurity, operations and integration support maintenance, logistics, execution centers support, analytical support and studies, and special event support. Other support activities include but are not limited to the planning, management, support, sustainment, and assessment of development activities from other organizations for a broad range of test technologies used for systems engineering, data collection and reduction (including visualization and analysis tools), simulation, and test control. These activities may be managed under the overarching term of MS&I. To avoid confusion with contracting efforts focused on integration and use of instrumentation devices for data collection, this document will use http://www.otc.army.mil/ the term “test technology”. Test technology is employed during operational test execution, test planning, rehearsal, and technical preparation. The Contractor shall provide simulation and data management products for technical architecture and documentation. OTC products used and supported by this contract shall integrate with Army Test and Evaluation Command (ATEC)’s defined common instrumentation products and reflect the evolving ATEC enterprise architecture. The Contractor shall implement efficiencies and support USAOTC quality assurance of system development and sustainment. The USAOTC is the primary organization the Contractor shall support; however, the Contractor shall work with other ATEC, Army, DoD, industry and academic organizations providing capabilities and support to USAOTC.
