Composable collaborative planning

Composable Collaborative Planning BAA Industry Day Announcement

The Air Force Research Laboratory/Information Directorate will be conducting a virtual Industry Day on 18-Feb-2021 regarding Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) FA8750-21-S-7003 for the Shared Context Planning (SCP) program.  The purpose of this event is to provide interested companies/entities with an overview of the problem space that the SCP program is addressing.  This virtual event is being held to promote specific areas of interest, promote an early exchange of information, and provide an opportunity for both the Government and Industry to gather more information prior to the submission of white papers as will be solicited on the SAM.gov web site.

This event will be prerecorded as an audio/video presentation and distributed as a single, digital file to a mailing list of approved recipients in lieu of a live conference call or in-person event.  On the “event day” (18-Feb-2021) the Composable Collaborative Planning (CCP) BAA team will distribute the presentation file to the entire mailing list.  The CCP team will collect questions provide an anonymized Q&A document to the same mailing list of Industry Day registrants. After initial distribution, the Q&A document will not be updated.  In order to ensure competitive integrity, the questions and answers will be posted without attribution.

Offerors may email questions, from 18-Feb-2021 to 24-Feb-2021, to the Technical Points of Contact (TPOC) below.  When submitting questions please begin the subject line of the email with “FA8750-21-S-7003 Industry Day Question”.  The team will not immediately respond with the answer to your question. The SCP tech team will distribute Q&A responses via email on 26-Feb-2021.

Registration for the mailing list is required and can be done at:

Registration must be submitted no later than COB 16-Feb-2021 via the above link. Registration submissions using the above link will not be accepted after this date.

The Industry Day will be unclassified and open to DoD contractor personnel who are US Citizens only.  All prospective recipients may be required to submit a proof of eligibility to Chad Salisbury (SCP Program Manager), Aaron McVay (SCP Deputy PM), Anissa Lamonica (RIS Division SASM), and Casey Carpenter (RIS Division Alt SASM).  For this reason, the team is limiting access to one recipient per CAGE code.  Timely responses to the BAA team and the security team are absolutely required to ensure that your registration is processed in time for the virtual industry day event.

They will respond directly with further instructions on verifying eligibility.

DESCRIPTION:

Planning is an integral part of military operations. It is an involved process that requires hundreds of experts working in concert to develop the plan needed to conduct military operations. This program seeks to couple web-based collaborative, interactive, and knowledge graph technologies with a holistic approach to planning. This novel vision goes beyond focusing on plan data by also incorporating planner roles as descriptive input/output (I/O) descriptions to represent planners as computational units within the system. It is also composable, allowing organizations to capture their own planning process so that the framework fits their existing workflow with support for tailored interaction and visualization paradigms to facilitate the remote and collaborative planning process. The meeting is open to all Department of Defense (DoD) and U.S. DoD Contractors. All briefs and discussions will be held at the Distribution D level.
