The A3OB Mission Assurance Assessment Team (MAAT) Performance Work Statement outlines the United States Air Force's requirements for conducting Mission Assurance Assessments. The AF/A3OB is tasked with developing policies and managing Critical Asset Risk Management (CARM) programs to ensure the protection of critical assets essential to strategic mission execution. The MA assessments will follow a standardized risk management process applicable to various Air Force units. Key requirements include employing personnel with appropriate clearances, skills, and certifications; conducting travel for assessments; and ensuring access to secure facilities. The PWS details structured assessment phases—pre-assessment, assessment, and post-assessment activities—through which contractors must evaluate vulnerabilities and risks, manage data analytics, and maintain crucial systems like the Air Force Critical Asset Management System (AFCAMS). Performance objectives include timely completion of assessments, submission of comprehensive reports, and strict adherence to security protocols. The document emphasizes personnel continuity, specialized training, and effective communication with Air Force leadership. Overall, this initiative aims to improve mission assurance capabilities across the Department of Defense, addressing critical operational risks while maintaining compliance with federal regulations.
