PART 1

GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1 Description of Services/Introduction: The Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army (Cost & Economics) (ODASA-CE) shall receive non-personal, technical support services in the concentrated areas of cost and economic analysis of major weapon and information management systems programs, associated acquisition, and financial management policies and procedures of the Department of Defense (DOD). The analyses would result in the development of cost databases, cost estimating relationships (CER), cost models, and special research to support the estimation of life cycle costs or economic analyses. Additionally, requirements may result from the elements of the designated SOW in one or more Task(s). Performed services will be in conformance with current DOD and Army regulations, pamphlets, or letters of instruction (LOI) regarding cost analysis.

This effort is to provide the Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army for Cost and Economics (ODASA-CE) support in Missiles and Munitions Automated Cost Database (M&M ACDB) and related cost research. Services include updating the M&M ACDB, developing new and improving current cost models, conducting special cost analysis research, and implementing training on the database and cost models. The M&M ACDB provides actual costs for Army Missiles and Munitions systems in accordance with the Missiles and Munitions Work Breakdown Structure and Army Cost Element Structure.

1.2 Background: The Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army for Cost and Economics (ODASA-CE) Mission is to provide the Army decision-makers with cost, performance and economic analysis in the form of expertise, models, data, estimates and analyses at all levels.

1.3 Objectives:

1. To provide data collection, mapping, analysis, normalization, and database implementation

2. To develop cost estimating relationships (CER), cost-performance estimating relationships (CPER), cost factors, new cost sub-models, and new costing methodologies

3. To perform special cost analysis research

4. To provide needed instruction in classrooms, small groups, and/or one-on-one settings in core areas of research (CER development, Cost Performance Estimating Relationships (CPER), and cost modeling support).

1.4. Scope: The Contractor shall provide non-personal technical support services to ODASA-CE in the concentrated areas of cost and economic analysis of major weapon system programs and associated acquisition/financial management policies and procedures of the Department of Defense (DOD). These analyses would further entail the development of cost databases, cost estimating relationships (CER), cost models, and special studies to support the estimation of life cycle costs, economic analysis, and/or elements of the designated SOW in one or more Task(s). Performed services will be in conformance with current DOD and Army regulations/pamphlets and letters of instruction (LOI) regarding cost analysis.
