DESCRIPTION: Sources sought for services acquisition, which may result in a solicitation being issued for a firm-fixed-price contract with deliverables required between 200 and 270 days after date of contract award. The purpose of this notice is to gain knowledge of interest, technical capabilities, and personnel qualifications of contractors who can support this requirement. The contractor team needs not only sufficient experience, requisite skills, and an understanding of Army manning processes necessary to accomplish a comprehensive analysis, but also an operative knowledge of current and evolving organizational structures to include an understanding of the Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System (JCIDS) process. For example: Completion of Capability-Based Assessments (CBAs) within the JCIDS process, which includes the following: a. Authoring all relevant required documentation within the CBA process: CBA prep, Functional Area Analysis (FAA), Functional Needs Analysis (FNA), and Functional Solutions Analysis (FSA). b. Preparing for, scheduling, and facilitating key stakeholder in-person formal meetings during each phase of the CBA process (FAA, FNA, and FSA). c. Understanding of the Army Concept Strategy and process for developing Functional Concepts and Concept Capability Plans (CCP). d. Using the full array of Microsoft Office Suite programs and USAAC specific programs. SERVICES OBJECTIVES: Contractor needs to demonstrate its ability to provide USAAC with the requirements for integrated synchronization tools and predictive modeling tools that instantly see the current and projected impact of human capital operation plans on ARFORGEN units and the rest of the Army. At a minimum, contractor needs to demonstrate its ability to: a. Provide an HCE-wide approach to identifying changes needed to enhance the automated monitoring and synchronization of progress in precisely recruiting, training, and assigning soldiers to Army organizations. b. Document the requirements for an HCE tool that synchronizes with ARFORGEN requirements and the scheduling of soldier assignments in order to meet the ARFORGEN demand-based process requirements for rotating units to theater while mitigating personnel shortages in the generating force. c. Develop technical solutions to bring together overall Army HCE processes within an ARFORGEN construct and identify required data, information exchanges, and an information technology architecture that will facilitate ARFORGEN common operating picture development. d. Ensure product supports the Army Business Architecture (ABA) responsibilities and ensure that JCIDS documentation reflects ABA courses of action to improve business processes and create automated support tools to enable leadership to better manage the Army manning process. e. Provide a final Initial Capabilities Document (ICD) and a Doctrine, Organization, Training, Material, Leadership and Education, Personnel and Facilities (DOTMLPF) Change Recommendation (DCR) document following the JCIDS CBA process. f. Lay-out how the HCE will: handle forecasted and unforecasted personnel requirements; manage changing deployment dates and destinations; manage the availability of Soldiers; synchronize with PME; analyze the impact of force structure, inventory, and policy changes before decisions are made; track and display how units are built over their lifecycle; predict future personnel shortfalls in the operating and generating force; conduct personnel fill trade-off analyses; track future solders in the Accessions process queue; track individuals already within the Accessions process; track how well the HCE is providing Soldiers to ARFORGEN units; provide senior Army leaders with a real-time automated and integrated common operating picture of the health of Army manning processes; and identify predictive choke points related to future demand (US Army Forces Command (FORSCOM) requirements), training base and professional military education (PME) constraints, and the projected Accessions/PME/manning pipeline.
