Warfare Enterprise (WE) readiness and Metrics Support

The Contracting Department, NAVSUP Fleet Logistic Center Norfolk, Norfolk, VA, 23511-3392; intends to negotiate a multiple award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity type contract with Cost Plus Fixed Fee and Firm Fixed Price pricing provisions and will utilize procedures under FAR Part 15 “Contracting by Negotiationâ€.



This requirement is to provide readiness and metrics support to the Warfare Enterprises (WE), which was formed to provide support to Naval Aviation Enterprise (NAE) and Surface Warfare Enterprise (SWE), along with any other enterprise that will receive support for readiness metrics development and analysis via this vehicle. The enterprises are composed around specific war fighting domains and their primary providers, working across existing “stovepipes,†or functional commands, to ensure ability to meet the war fighting mission at the lowest possible price.

The primary goal of the enterprise construct is to work collaboratively within a partnership of operators, resource sponsors, and providers to establish a culture of continuous process improvement to optimize the war-fighting readiness of all forces, while generating the greatest possible efficiencies. To maximize Enterprise performance, the key attributes of an Enterprise must exist: (1) consistently apply cross-functional process thinking; (2) establish and maintain process discipline; (3) utilize a set of consistent, integrated, and hierarchical metrics; (4) ensure full and consistent transparency of data, information, and activities; (5) establish and maintain accountability for actions and results; (6) apply an integrated governance structure; and (7) maintain a focus on total ownership.

Top level processes in enterprise management include, for example, current readiness, supply chain management; future readiness, acquisition and procurement; both current and future total force requirements; and enterprise financial management and metrics. The enterprise framework is about change management and forging a path to an affordable future for the Navy, as we continue to deploy a combat-ready Navy today.
