PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

FOR

Strategic Planning, Strategic Communications and Exercise Support to the Puerto Rico National Guard

1.0 General: The Puerto Rico Army National Guard (PR ARNG) maintains 48 armories, and is present in 30 communities. The Puerto Rico National Guard, like the National Guards in all 50 states, is a hybrid organization. National Guards are ordinarily under the control of state (or, in the case of Puerto Rico, Commonwealth) officials, but are organized pursuant to federal statute, and in war-time or other emergencies, Guard units may be brought under federal control.

1.1 Scope: The PR ARNG has a requirement for support through functional area expertise in support of Strategic Planning efforts, Strategic Communications and All-Hazards Table-Top Exercises. Functional area expertise includes: Operations, Training, Logistics, Intelligence, Communications, Cyber, Emergency Management, Contingency Planning, Aviation, Engineer, Medical, Resourcing and New Initiatives

1.2 Background: The cornerstone of the PR ARNG is the ability to provide ready forces in support of State and Federal missions as required. Keys to success are Planning, Communicating and Exercising. The PR ARNG plans and programs based off the Fiscal Year (FY) and will produce an annual Strategic Plan, Strategic Communications Plan and a robust exercise program. Recognizing the current challenges associated with declining and uncertain budgets, increasing and fluid requirements, and the complexity of the unique geo-political aspects of the PR ARNG, the PR ARNG has initiated a rapid planning effort that demands functional and strategic expertise. In addition, the PR ARNG will conduct a Table Top Exercise in order to conduct threat analysis and identify all-hazards gaps in support to Civil Authorities.

This effort also requires functional, strategic, operational and tactical expertise in Army and Inter-Agency Operations.
