Performance Work Statement For a

Technical, Engineering, Program Management, and Integration Services Contract

In Support Of Anniston Army Depot (ANAD), The Center of Industrial and Technical Excellence (CITE), For Ground Combat Systems Under The

Integrated Systems Rapid Response Center (ISRRC) Concept

1. BACKGROUND

1.1 The purpose of this contract is to provide various support services to ANAD, the Ground Combat Systems Center of Industrial and Technical Excellence, the technical, engineering, program management, and integration services required for the successful execution of ANAD’s mission to provide Life Cycle Product Support for all systems assigned to their care. ANAD’s mission continuously evolves to meet the needs of the US Army and Department of Defense.

ANAD supports rebuild/overhaul/recapitalization for wheel/track vehicles (manned and unmanned), towed, self-propelled ground support equipment, sets, kits, and outfits, shelters, bridge launchers, bridging, small caliber weapons, the soldier, and associated component systems. Services provided will support, maintain and enhance ANAD’s Center of Industrial and Technical Excellence core capabilities as well as other capabilities traditionally performed at ANAD. The Program Executive Offices (PEOs) are increasingly relying on ANAD to provide technical leadership, program/project management, an alternative to escalating costs in the application and integration of weapons system upgrades, technology insertion, product integration, maintenance, and integrated logistics that occurs after system fielding and during the maintenance process.

1.2 The general areas to be supported for the duration of the contract are set forth in this Performance Work Statement (PWS). These areas are not meant to be definitive, but rather represent in summary form the general areas to be supported. Therefore, the PWS is deemed to be a basic expression of the contract requirement. Specific performance requirements will be set forth in Task Order(s) (T/Os) issued under the contract.

1.3 This contract will be for services outside the capability of ANAD or overflow requirements.
