AI Contract Overview

The Marine Corps Systems Command plans to negotiate a sole source contract with Decision Systems Applications, Inc. (DSAI) to provide specialized technical services for maintaining, modifying, upgrading, and enhancing manpower models critical to the Manpower and Reserve Affairs (M&RA) and Total Force Structure Division (TFSD). These models support various stages of active and reserve Marine Corps manpower processes, including staffing, planning, assigning, mobilizing, and classifying personnel. The contract covers a comprehensive list of manpower models, many containing proprietary sub-routines developed and owned by DSAI, the original developer of nearly all the models. The contractor's responsibilities will include operational assistance, maintenance, training, system enhancements, and updates to documentation. Given the complexity and mission-critical nature of these manpower models, the Marine Corps lacks sufficient internal resources to maintain them, necessitating expert external support. DSAI, having been the primary support provider through a subcontract, holds the necessary technical expertise and proprietary knowledge to fulfill this need. The contract is valued at approximately $850,000 annually, with a base year and three option years planned. Although this will be a sole source award, interested parties are invited to submit statements of capability within 15 days of the announcement. The contract will be managed by the Department of Defense office at Quantico, Virginia, with Christine M Kuney serving as the point of contact.

Full Description

The Marine Corps Systems Command intends to negotiate a sole source contract with Decision Systems Applications, Inc. (DSAI) to provide technical services to maintain, modify, upgrade, and enhance the current manpower models used by Manpower and Reserve Affairs (M&RA) and Total Force Structure Division (TFSD) for all phases of the active and reserve Marine Corps manpower staffing, planning, assigning, mobilizing, and classifying process. The following are the Models that require continued support (* -- Contains Proprietary Sub-Routines): a. Enlisted Assignment Model (EAM)* b. Enlisted Staffing Goal Model (ESGM)* c. Officer Staffing Goal Model (OSGM)* d. Officer Planning Utility System (OPUS)* e. Recruit Distribution Model (RDM)* f. Marine Equity Model (MEM) g. Target Force Projection Model (TFPM) h. Reserve Enlisted Planning System (REPS) i. Reserve Staffing Model (RSM)* j. Officer Mobilization Model (OMM)* k. Table of Manpower Requirements (T/MR) l. Manning Level Process (MLP) m. Troop List (TL) DSAI, the original developer of all but one of the Models and the owner of proprietary code for seven of the Models, has been providing the required primary support and continued system enhancement work support via a subcontract arrangement. The estimated value of the contract is $850,000.00 per year and the period of performance is one base year and three option years. Due to the complex nature of the models used by M&RA and TFSD, and their mission-essential importance to the Marine Corps, the maintenance and user assistance require capabilities beyond the technical resources and personnel assets of the Marine Corps. Specifically, the services require the contractor to have expert knowledge of the Manpower Models to assist all model managers with operation, maintenance, training, system enhancements, and documentation updates. No RFP is available for competitive bidding; however, interested parties are encouraged to submit a statement of capability for satisfying this requirement within 15 days of this announcement to the contact person listed above.
