Period of Performance is expected to be approximately 4 months (expected to start in July/August). We envision that this model will use visual information mapping, and that the model will need to be consistent with the four areas of focus of SAF/A6: 1) Technical integration of Warfighting systems 2) CIO (Title 10, 40, and 44) functions 3) Communications and information functional management 4) Modernization of core services and infrastructures. Other remarks on scope and on how the deliverables from this contract will be used: A) The contractor will also develop a graphical organization model for the newly developed Warfighting General Officer Steering Group (GOSG) with a focus on platform integration and defending air, space, and cyber networks. B) The contractor will graphically align the Secretary of the Air Force (SECAF) and the Air Force Chief of Staff (CSAF) vision and priorities pertinent to SAF/CIO A6's mission areas. C) This graphical model will further calibrate warfighting integration efforts against the vision, mission, roles and priorities of the SAF/CIO A6, representing how the warfighting integration efforts currently underway are strategically aligned with the SECAF/CSAF priorities. D) Supporting documentation, required to provide appropriate context for use of the graphical models, falls within the scope of this contract. E) Additionally, coordinating and facilitating meetings between warfighting integration stakeholders also falls within the scope of this contract.
