1.0 Disclaimer & General Information

This is a Request for Information (RFI) / Market Research notice issued in accordance with FAR 10.001(c) for planning purposes only. This notice does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP), Invitation for Bid (IFB), or Request for Quotation (RFQ), nor does it restrict the Government to any ultimate acquisition approach.

2.0 Core Requirements & Objectives

The Government is seeking information from capable vendors who can perform the following four core objectives over a potential 12-month period. The SpRCO intends to use these insights to inform wargames, modeling and simulation (M&S), and intelligence collection gap analysis, and to highlight sustainment and readiness priorities. The SpRCO aims to mature both its analytics and data capabilities while simultaneously re-engineering workflows within SpRCO PAEs and programs, as well as between SpRCO, service force design units, and budget decisionmakers. • Objective 1: SWAN Model and Database Expansion: Expand the mission thread analysis from the existing Government-owned SWAN model and database to include SpRCO priority mission threads, enabling comprehensive tradespace analysis across the SpRCO capability set. Decompose prioritized space-centric and SpRCO mission threads, validate metrics with operators, and collect system/subsystem program milestone data (including DOTmLPF-P and sustainment dependencies) to expand the SWAN database. • Objective 2: Portfolio Optimization & Decision Support: Provide decision support on prioritized SpRCO missions, mission areas, and programs to support acquisition funding and decision timelines. Model funding scenarios (using sandboxes to analyze disconnects, initiatives, and offsets), conduct SpRCO mission ROI analysis, and develop decision materials to support SpRCO POM tradespace discussions and defend budget submissions.
• Objective 3: S&T and Sustainment Prioritization: Use SWAN-based mission thread analysis to prioritize demands for Science & Technology (S&T) activity, M&S analysis,
