1.0 General: This is a non-personal services task order to provide professional support services for Army Capability Managers (ACMs) and the Experimentation and Analysis Directorate (CEAD) located at United States Army Aviation Center of Excellence (USAACE), Fort Novosel, Alabama. This effort enables the Capability Development and Integration Directorate (CDID) to fulfill its mission to support integration and synchronization of Army Aviation modernization efforts for the enduring force, future force, and prepare the force to field emerging capabilities.

Assists CDID, ACMs-LIFT, RA, and UAS and CEAD in the conduct of their specific Doctrine, Organization, Training, Materiel, Leader Development, Personnel, Facilities and Policy (DOTMLPF-P) integration and synchronization efforts addressed in respective ACM Charters and directives from Commanding General Aviation Center of Excellence (ACOE) Commanding General Futures and Concepts Center, Headquarters Army Futures Command (AFC), and Headquarters Department of the Army (HQDA)for the enduring force modernization efforts and supporting the fielding of emerging capabilities from the Army Future Command (AFC).

1.1 Description of Services/Introduction: The Contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, transportation, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform support services for the CDID, assigned Army Capability Managers, and CEAD located at Fort Novosel, Alabama as defined in this PWS except for those items specified as government furnished property and services. The contractor shall provide analytical support to Aviation CDID Directors, these recommendations on decisions may drive materiel development and future Army policy. Those recommendations, on whether to procure a particular item that may be commercially available or pursue developing an item that will provide a future capability for the Army, drive budgeting and procurement decisions. These same analysts are often required to assess and comment on how a particular capability will impact U.S. Army Doctrine, Organization, Training, Materiel, Education, Personnel, Facilities, and Policy (DOTMLPF-P).

Each of these subjects reflect current Army policies and the contractors are expected to comment on how a proposed capability will impact those same policies. When contractors make assessments and offer recommendations, following the conduct of an experiment, that information delivered to the government may be used to develop policy to deliver the Army of 2030, and design the Army of 2040.
