AI Contract Overview
This contract involves a proposed acquisition to provide specialized strategic and technical support for an Analysis of Options (AoO) related to a CAPE-directed study, building on the outcomes of the NC3 Next Trade Space Study Phase I. The AoO aims to evaluate both materiel and non-materiel solutions to improve the capability and performance of the MC2S platform in fulfilling its mission essential functions. Work will be conducted at the Special Access Program (SAP) level, focusing on evaluating performance, schedule, risk, and cost aspects of proposed solutions. This contract requires the involvement of a University Affiliated Research Center (UARC) to deliver essential technical expertise, including advanced system engineering approaches, system of systems engineering, and enterprise-level analysis. The scope of research encompasses analysis guided by the Department of War Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation, with studies on threats, scenarios, cost, technology, employment concepts, and risk. The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (JHU/APL) is responsible for providing expert engineering and technical services to support innovative strategy development and technology solutions for the MC2S platform. The contract, managed by the Department of Defense at Offutt Air Force Base and performed in Colorado Springs, emphasizes advancing science and technology to help the government make informed decisions addressing complex national security challenges. The contract is identified by solicitation number FA221726CB001 and falls under the NAICS code 541330.

Full Description
This proposed acquisition will result in a new contract to provide strategic and technical expertise to perform Analysis of Options (AoO) in support of a CAPE-directed study based on the results of the NC3 Next Trade Space Study (NNTS) Phase I. The AoO will assess materiel and non-materiel solutions to enhance capability and ability of the MC2S to perform mission essential functions (MEFs). The AoO will be at the SAP-level to evaluate the performance, schedule, risk, and cost of materiel and non-materiel solutions. This contract requires special technical expertise and support through essential capabilities provided from a University Affiliated Research Center (UARC).
Essential research to be provided under the contract include system engineering, system of systems engineering, and enterprise system of systems engineering to analyze alternatives based on the Department of War Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation (OSW/CAPE) MC2S Study Guidance. The AoO will further include Threats and Scenarios, Cost Analysis, Effective Analysis, Technology and Alternatives, Employment Concepts, and Risk Analysis. JHU/APL provides expert engineering and technical services that focus on developing innovative strategies, concepts, and technology applicable to the MC2S platform. JHU/APL works to advance and apply science, technology, system engineering and strategy to effectively enable the Government to make better decisions and implement solutions to complex challenges of national and global significance.
