The contractor shall provide a well-coordinated team in the delivery of strategies for efficient and effective program and project implementation, day-to-day operations, client and stakeholder relationships, operations and project reporting, budgeting and analysis, Additionally, this effort requires explosive safety and system support services.

APT is equipped with the personnel that have the unique and specific skill set to meet the Government's needs in regards to critical reporting duties, strategic management, ordnance safety and support services, program and project manager services and budgeting skills related to the OE-I mission. APT has a thorough understanding of the OE-I mission and maintains a significant amount of historical knowledge critical to the success of the OE-I program. The amount of time and costs required to train and mentor a replacement contractor for these services would be inefficient and uneconomical use of taxpayer resources.
