The United States Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) for the Joint Distribution Process Analysis Center (JDPAC) Support V contract, which will underpin analytic and engineering efforts for the Joint Deployment and Distribution Enterprise (JDDE) starting in 2025. This RFI is aimed at gathering market insights to inform the planning and acquisition strategies for the contract, not as a precursor to immediate procurement. USTRANSCOM is interested in solutions that provide global deployment network assessments, data integration, and advanced analytics, alongside an understanding of industry capabilities in these areas. Responses should include company specifics, capabilities, and relevant experience, and be submitted by November 21, 2024. The primary performance location will be Scott AFB, Illinois, with the contract anticipated to be awarded by May 1, 2025. USTRANSCOM encourages responses from both large and small businesses, particularly those with experience in supply chain analysis and data science. This RFI serves primarily as a market research tool to enhance informed decision-making within USTRANSCOM for their upcoming procurement needs.
The document outlines the Performance Work Statement (PWS) for Distribution Analysis Support V under the Joint Distribution Process Analysis Center (JDPAC), aimed at enhancing the United States Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) logistics capabilities. It details the background of USTRANSCOM's role in facilitating military distribution and the essential integration of various Transportation Component Commands. The scope includes managing tasks related to operational coordination, analyses, modeling, and data management to improve distribution efficiency and effectiveness.
Key tasks involve contract management, operational and policy analyses, modeling, simulation, and optimization (MS&O), programmatic analysis, and adaptive planning support. The contractor is expected to provide analytics, design and develop reporting tools, conduct performance assessments, and assist in planning and decision-making processes. The document emphasizes the necessity of aligning operational strategies with logistics requirements, employing advanced analytical methods, and ensuring robust data governance.
With a focus on developing, implementing, and maintaining comprehensive data support frameworks, the PWS aims for improved military logistics coordination, ultimately enhancing USTRANSCOM's ability to meet deployment and distribution demands in both peacetime and conflict scenarios.
