PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)
Joint Enterprise Data Interoperability (JEDI) Implementation and Support
Part 1 General Information
1. General: This is a non-personal service(s) contract under which the personnel rendering the service(s) are not subject, either by the contract’s terms or by the manner of its administration, to the supervision and control usually prevailing in relationships between the Government and its employees.
1.1 Description of Services/Introduction: This is a non-personal service contract to provide Joint Enterprise Data Interoperability (JEDI) software translation implementation and support directly for U.S Army Europe (USAREUR), and by extension these capabilities will support the U.S European Command (US EUCOM) and U.S. Army through enhanced interoperability with our Allies. 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.
1.2 Background: The Army is evolving and transforming in order to remain a global expeditionary force in a future of uncertain threats, aging weapon systems, reduced manpower, and declining budgets. The Army stated vision for needed capabilities within this future stated in the, “The Army Modernization Strategy” supports the 2018 National Defense Strategy effort to "Build a More Lethal Force" and the 2017 National Security Strategy effort to "Preserve Peace through Strength." It defines the path to achieve our vision of the Army of 2028. This strategy will ensure our Army remains the most lethal and effective land force in the world. The competitive advantage that the United States has long enjoyed is eroding. We are being challenged in every domain of warfare-land, maritime, air, cyber, and space-and the challenges are growing in scale, complexity, and severity. Our recent focus on fighting wars of insurgency and terrorism allowed our adversaries to make improvements on their modernization efforts and erode the advantages enjoyed by our Army since World War II.
The Army can no longer afford to choose between improving our existing systems and developing new ones. We must do both to maintain our land power dominance. In order to facilitate the increasing commitments for the U.S forces to provide logistical data to NATO, during NATO exercises EUCOM, initiated a capability demonstration for the use of JEDI translation processes and technologies. This was done as a means to validate the ability to rapidly translate date to provide U.S Force Deployment data to NATO without duplicating data entry between U.S and NATO logistics information systems (LIS). This successful capability demonstration supported timely delivery of force deployment data enabling successful collaboration of planning for an exercise. The scope of the piloted capability demonstrated key attributes of JEDI’s utility in collaboration with NATO, which must be further mapped and implemented within U.S Army Europe to have a capability that meets enduring and emerging requirements for NATO collaboration and interoperability.
1.3 Scope: The Contractor shall provide non-personal services to map additional processes and implement within the Joint Enterprise Data Interoperability (JEDI), the capability to enhance U.S Army Europe and NATO Logistics Functional Area Services (LOGFAS) interoperability, to include:
Enhance integration of Joint and Army data into LOGFAS through JEDI implementation for US Army Europe and 21st Theater Support Command to enable greater interoperability with NATO and the Joint Force.
Enable JEDI to enhance additional detail on equipment and material and shows level 6 data.
Enable JEDI interoperability end to end In-Transit Visibility (ITV) tracking of Joint and Multinational forces.
Enable JEDI interoperability between Movement and Funding Automated Support Tool (MFAST) and
LOGFAS for in-theater movement requests Enable JEDI interoperability and decision support tools between Army Common Operating Picture (AR
COP), United Kingdom Army Recognized Logistics Picture (UK RLP) Demonstrator, and NATO RLP.
Purchase custom software licenses and documentation required to facilitate the use of the JEDI
Application DoD wide to be used on Mission Partner Environment (MPE) Non-Secure Internet Protocol Router (NIPR) & Secure Internet Protocol Router (SIPR) networks and sustainment.
Support the use of NATO Shareable Operational Resources Tool (SORT) with Enhanced Forward Presence (eFP) units
Travel within CONUS and OCONUS to attend, participate in and support annual exercise conferences and meetings with Government and NATO planners and Subject Matter Experts (SME) in support of the business process mapping, data mapping, integration support, software deliveries, and exercise planning and execution.
1.4 Objective: Facilitate increasing commitments for providing U.S force and logistics data translation services during NATO exercises and operations without duplicating data entry between U.S and NATO logistics information systems.
