CLIN STRUCTURE TO BE DETERMINED 4. DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENT CPE ST3 has a need for Agile Professional Services (APS) support services to provide the organization with the ability to augment its Military and Government Civilian workforce in order to execute its mission. The services will be limited to providing professional support services, under a Performance Based Services model, to CPE ST3 and CPE ST3 customers for limited requirements which are related to CPE ST3’s mission. Since its inception, CPE ST3 has relied on contractor support to conduct its mission in all phases of life cycle management due to insufficient personnel within the organization to successfully perform the required services. This model of a Government footprint with a scalable contractor workforce has enabled CPE ST3 to be very flexible and agile in its mission to support the changing needs of the Army. The services to be performed will include related activities in support of all aspects of providing responsive integrated and interoperable infrastructure for simulation, training, testing, and threat solutions. APS support services are required for effective, efficient, and responsive full lifecycle management of efforts to include, but not limited to: administrative support, vision statements and doctrine, development of architectures, program support (e.g., acquisition and budget planning, business and financial programming and execution, modeling, simulation, simulator, training device, and instrumentation development, documentation, fielding and execution, system analysis and integration, integrated logistics support, strategic planning, contingency and mission support, security cooperation/international relations, program oversight, independent verification validation and test evaluation, prototype development, sustainment and operations, and analysis of emerging technologies support), and subject matter experts on military tactics, techniques, and procedures. Potential areas of growth are envisioned, but not limited to be in the areas of Cyber and Information Warfare, Robotics, Unmanned Vehicles, Home Station Training, Multi-Sensory Simulation, Artificial Intelligence, Environment Modeling, Human Performance Training, Security Cooperation, and Medical Training. The critical performance requirement is the successful development and transition of CPE ST3 from a traditional, staffing-based support model to a task-based, outcome-driven Agile delivery framework that is to be developed by the Performer. Success will be measured by the contractor's ability to develop and iterate, through performance under the resultant contract, a framework that both provides the following, and is able to be replicated across future requirements: Provide flexible and scalable teams of cleared, specialized personnel. Implement and mature Agile, DevSecOps, and digital engineering practices. Integrate with government tools, environments, and processes (Jira, Cameo, etc.). Deliver measurable outcomes tied to mission readiness and warfighter needs, rather than just level-of-effort. Ensure compliance with DoD acquisition, cybersecurity (CMMC, RMF), and data rights regulations. Work will be performed at Government facilities, Contractor facilities, and Remote locations. Primary Government sites include Orlando, FL, and Redstone Arsenal, AL (including 24/7 operations). Additional Government sites include: Fort Campbell, KY; Fort Hood, TX; Fort Drum, NY; Fort Irwin, CA; Fort Polk, LA; Fort Rucker, AL; Fort Bragg, NC; Hohenfels, Germany; and Camp Humphreys, South Korea. The contractor should take into consideration that all acquisition support activities will be executed in accordance with applicable Federal, Department of War (DoW), and Army acquisition regulations, policies, and best practices. ***SEE SECTION 4 OF THE ATTACHED WORD DOCUMENT VERSION OF THIS COMBINED SYNOPSIS/SOLICITATION FOR CURRENT LEVEL OF EFFORT AND MAGNITUDE DATA*** 5.
