OUSD Lab Demo Cost Studies/Laboratory Demonstration Project

This pre-solicitation notice seeks analytical support services to study demonstration project initiatives across 20 Department of Defense Science and Technology Reinvention Laboratories. The contractor will provide the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering a common platform to analyze laboratory personnel systems and compile data for annual reports to Congress. The performance work statement requires the contractor develop simulation models, compare outcomes to Office of Personnel Management data, and analyze OUSD initiatives and statutory issues. Deliverables include an initial kickoff briefing four weeks after award, with interim and final analysis reports due eight and nine months after award.

There is no set-aside designated for this requirement. The primary NAICS code is 541611 and PSC code R425. The incumbent contractor is not named but the notice indicates this is an IDIQ originally awarded on November 23, 2020, with a one year base period and four one-year options extending through November 24, 2025. Services are to be provided at the contractor's facility with potential reimbursable travel. The budget is not specified but the scope of analyzing 20 laboratories suggests this could be a sizable opportunity.
