MANEUVER CENTER OF EXCELLENCE

1. Background. The US Army Contracting Command (ACC) Mission and Installation Contracting Command (MICC) – Center Fort Bragg has a requirement for Mission Support Services for the Maneuver Center of Excellence (MCOE) and its subordinate elements, the United States Army Armor Center (USAARMC), currently at Ft Knox, but moving to Ft Benning, GA under the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) legislation, and the United States Army Infantry Center (USAIC) at Ft Benning, GA. The mission of the MCOE is to: (1) provide the nation with the world’s best trained Infantry, Armor, and Cavalry, maintenance support Soldiers as well as adaptive leaders, imbued with the Warrior Ethos; (2) provide a Force Generation Installation capable of deploying and redeploying Soldiers, civilians, and units anywhere in the world on short notice; (3) define required capabilities for Infantry, Armor, and Cavalry to meet the needs of the Future Force. The MCOE also provides support for proponent units worldwide, and is responsible for providing the Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) with a full spectrum of support in doctrine, training, capability development, and training support products for the maneuver force. The MCOE’s function in these areas is to serve as the user representative in the development of training methodologies and products, concepts, doctrine, organizational requirements and materiel capability requirements for each functional area, as well as to provide instructors to teach classes across the MCOE. The MCOE has the responsibility to develop training strategies, concepts and products for the current and future forces, including the Heavy Brigade Combat Team, Stryker Brigade Combat Team, and Infantry Brigade Combat Team (HBCT/SBCT/IBCT) Airborne, Ranger and Special Forces as well as other proponent organizations such as the Battlefield Surveillance Brigade, (BFSB) and Cavalry organizations. The MCOE accomplishes this mission by the integration of virtual, constructive and live training, exploitation of existing and emerging technologies, and training, doctrine and capability development.

The MCOE requires contractor knowledge, expertise and services to support Department of the Army (DA) and Department of Defense (DoD) initiatives for the Maneuver Force in development, assessment, analysis, staffing, integration and documenting concepts, doctrine development, organization requirements, materiel requirements and production of training and doctrine products. This requirement also includes contractor knowledge, expertise and services to support MCOE with its focus on training support to the Warfighter by leveraging technologies, battlefield digitization, developing issues, seeking solutions, demonstrating alternatives and coordinating projects. This includes products for combined arms units and institutions. Work shall be performed primarily at Government facilities throughout TRADOC and Forces Command (FORSCOM).

2. Objective. The objective of this contract is to acquire support of contractor subject matter experts to assist the MCOE in its mission to develop and produce maneuver force training strategies, doctrine, concepts, organizations, materiel capabilities requirements, instruction, analysis and support products and services for the current and future force, including support to TRADOC Capability Managers (TCMs) at the MCOE. This contract vehicle may also be used by other TRADOC and FORSCOM institutions for developing related training, doctrine, or combat development products, with coordination through the Contracting Officer Representative (COR) and approval of the Contracting Officer.
