ISO/MIL SpecificationsStrategic Planning: (SIN 871-1)
ASR provides expert advice, assistance, guidance, and counseling to support of a wide range of strategic and business planning efforts. Our consultants specialize in strategic and business planning techniques. Our executive consultants normally arrange for a meeting that is conducive to taking a fresh look at an agency’s vision, missions, and strategies for the future. We combine pre-planned presentations, discussions with customers, strategic planning exercises, and group discussions to foster innovation and creative thinking. By focusing on both the needs of the agency the agency’s leadership can target key improvements, and develop meaningful plans to concentrate resources on critical areas. A few examples of the strategic planning services available include systems alignment; cycle time; high performance work; performance measures and indicators; process and productivity improvement; analysis of mission; goals and objectives; organizational assessments, program audits and evaluations; and privatization.
Systems Alignment: Systems alignment begins with consistent communication of vision, mission, and strategies. Our experts work with Federal executives to develop a plan to communicate the vision, mission, and strategies to their employees, customers, and other stakeholders. This shared understanding of the organization’s future is then used to drive systems alignment.
Cycle Time: Cycle time is the elapsed time required to produce a product or service, from start to finish. It is a major factor in improving customer satisfaction and its reduction is an important part of most business improvement initiatives. Our consultants help Federal agency staff visualize the full set of activities in a business process and analyze the cycle times for completing activity sequences under various process configurations.
High Performance Work: ASR offers innovative solutions to support Federal agencies as they implement high performance work strategies. These strategies often apply information age concepts and collaborative information tools to transform worker interactions with their management, colleagues, suppliers, and customers.
Performance Measures and Indicators: ASR works with Federal agencies to establish key measures of mission performance, productivity, and efficiency. Much of this work directly supports implementation of the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA). We help agencies prepare for the phased implementation of performance-based management by developing meaningful metrics and then benchmarking their performance against other organizations that produce similar products or services.
Process and Productivity Improvement: Process and productivity improvement continues to be a top priority for our government agencies. ASR experts understand that each Federal agency has unique requirements. Based on these requirements, improvement services are tailored to our client’s special needs, from quality management programs to business process reengineering. Our proven methodology combines our world class process improvement experience with highly effective decision support technology to produce superior results for user agencies.
Analysis of Mission: ASR consultants and system engineers can assist Federal agencies develop, interpret and implement mission statements. Program/product planning can be accomplished based on budgetary resources established in the mission statement.
Goals and Objectives: ASR works with Federal agencies to develop the right goals and objectives with prioritization and balancing. ASR ensures that program goals and objectives fit into larger goals and objectives of the department and organization.
Organizational Assessments, Program Audits, and Evaluations: ASR consultants perform organizational assessments, program audits, and evaluations to help agencies improve their organizational performance. Our PES staff includes a certified Malcolm Baldrige Award examiner and Presidential Quality Award Advisory Board member, as well as certified Six Sigma Black Belts.
Privatization Support: ASR understands that Federal Agencies are under unprecedented and intense pressure to reduce budgets and number of personnel. At the same time, they are required to deliver additional services to their customer in a more efficient and cautious manner. ASR provides knowledgeable consultants to support the "outsourcing evaluations" as required by OMB Circular A-76. Examples of available privatization support services include strategic, tactical, and operational level planning; initial study planning; comparison of in-home bids to ISSA prices; development of Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP); administrative appeal process; management studies to determine the government’s Most Effective Organization (MEO); development of in-house government cost estimates and development of Performance Work Statements (PWS).
Concept Development and Requirements Analysis: (SIN 871-2)
Concept Development and Requirements Analysis are based on the principles of systems engineering. ASR utilizes these principles to lead to a function-driven, top-down, and system-wide-focus approach to concept development. The primary benefits of this approach include optimizing the total system, a more efficient process and product, and a better means for handling change. The concept development process builds on existing research in the field of product development and systems engineering. Aspects of this process enable more information to be considered during up front decisions in order to take into account the impact on the total product and its associated design, build, support, and business processes. In this way, the overall product, instead of the individual elements, will be optimized. A few examples of concept development services available include System Requirements Definition; Cost/cost Performance Trade-off Studies; Feasibility Analysis; Regulatory Compliance Support; System Analysis and Control; Program Planning; Acquisition Support; Trade Studies; and Privatization.
System Requirements Definition: ASR can work with ordering agency operations and customers to develop requirements (functional, interface, performance, design, and quality assurance) for technical systems. ASR can conduct the activities (e.g., modeling, simulation, and prototyping) necessary to demonstrate that the detailed requirements set is complete, consistent, achievable, and testable. ASR can assess commercial technology and tailor requirements such that commercial technology can be used to the maximum extent possible - consistent with meeting mission critical requirements. ASR can correct errors, incorporate missing or incomplete requirements, delete redundant or unnecessary requirements, eliminate ambiguities, ensure feasibility of implementation, ensure testability of requirements, eliminate design from the requirements statements, verify correct allocation to the ordering agency baseline, and conduct the analyses and modeling necessary to validate the requirements.
Cost/cost Performance Trade-off Studies: ASR can develop system life cycle cost (LCC) models and cost analyses. LCC models and analyses can be used to estimate the impact of requirements changes, the introduction of new technologies, and program delays on total system cost. The LCC models can be calibrated to reflect actual costs as cost data is accumulated. LCC modeling can support trade studies. Life cycle costs can be considered in establishing trade study evaluation criteria and in identifying alternatives in order to minimize life cycle cost.
Feasibility Analysis: ASR can perform functional analysis/allocation iteratively to define successively lower level functional and performance requirements, including functional interfaces and architecture. Functional and performance requirements can be traced to higher level requirements. System requirements will be allocated and defined in sufficient detail to provide design and verification criteria to support an integrated system design.
Regulatory Compliance Support: ASR business consultants can assist user agency management to develop comprehensive strategic, tactical, and operational plans documenting the organizational objectives, goals, strategic and measures for determining results. This is all accomplished in accordance with the requirements of the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA).
ASR business consultants can provide independent third-party support to the A-76 Administrative Appeal Authority to assist in verifying that cost estimates of individual items in a cost comparison are properly accounted for in accordance with Part II of the A-76 supplement; or that a decision to waive a cost comparison is proper.
OMB Circular A-109 principles call for an integrated systematic approach for establishing mission needs, budgeting, contracting, managing the program, improving opportunities for innovative private sector contributions, and avoiding pre-mature commitment to unwise courses of action. Doing so, facilitates early, critical, and credible communication with Congress, oversight functions, and higher-level executives in better relating major systems acquisition planning to Agency mission needs and goals
Technology Conceptual Design: ASR can support the requirements definition and technical oversight efforts by providing expertise in the engineering disciplines of: system design, human factors, reliability, maintainability, availability, software, security, logistics, facilities, and training. Analyses shall be performed to identify, develop, and validate the human factors, reliability, maintainability, availability, software, security, logistics, facilities, and training requirements between systems and external users and systems. System design, subsystem and component specifications, and hardware and software designs shall be reviewed to ensure that requirements are satisfied and that adequate design margins exist for all equipment. Test plans, procedures, and test results will be reviewed to ensure that adequate testing is performed and that requirements are verified and validated.
System Analysis and Control: ASR can establish system analysis and control activities to serve as a basis for evaluating and selecting alternatives, measuring progress, and documenting design decisions.
Program Planning: ASR can develop program plans for initiatives and programs, monitor progress of programs, and develop corrective actions when programs deviate from plans. ASR can define program objectives, define technical and management processes and products, estimate resources required (financial, staffing, facilities, and equipment), develop program schedules, identify risks and propose mitigation strategies, monitor program status (cost, schedule, and technical), and propose methods for program control.
Acquisition Support: ASR has developed Acquisition Plans, Statements of Work, proposal preparation instructions, proposal evaluation criteria, and special contractual requirements for solicitations. ASR can evaluate technical, management, and cost proposals against the evaluation criteria. ASR can develop independent cost and schedule estimates in support of proposal evaluation. ASR can provide Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) costs for engineering efforts, hardware/software acquisitions, Requests for Change (RFC) impacts, and new programs and project initiatives.
Trade Studies: ASR can conduct trade studies to identify and quantify the trade-off among risks, stated operational needs, technical requirements, program schedule and cost, supportability, and life cycle costs. The trade studies shall identify design alternatives including: reallocation of requirements, relaxation of requirements, redesign (e.g., redesign of hardware, replacement of custom components with COTS components), and procedural workarounds. ASR can perform trade studies in support of make or by decisions, to evaluate standard compliant versus non-standard components, and decisions to introduce new technology into systems.
Privatization Support: ASR understands that Federal Agencies are under unprecedented and intense pressure to reduce budgets and number of personnel. At the same time, they are required to deliver additional services to their customer in a more efficient and cautious manner. ASR provides knowledgeable consultants to support the "outsourcing evaluations" as required by OMB Circular A-76. Examples of available privatization support services include strategic, tactical, and operational level planning; initial study planning; comparison of in-home bids to ISSA prices; development of Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP); administrative appeal process; management studies to determine the government’s Most Effective Organization (MEO); development of in-house government cost estimates and development of Performance Work Statements (PWS).
System Design, Engineering and Integration: (SIN 871-3)
Concept Integration provides operational support to include concept development, support to distributed sites, support for transition planning, configuration management, operations and throughput monitoring, problem assessment and resolution, hardware and software upgrade planning and execution and logistics support planning.
ASR can ensure that a systems engineering process is used to translate operational needs and/or requirements into a system solution that includes the design, manufacturing, test and evaluation, and support processes and products. The systems engineering process will establish a proper balance between performance, risk, cost, and schedule, employing a top-down iterative process of requirements analysis, functional analysis and allocation, design synthesis and verification, and system analysis and control. Examples of Design, Engineering and Integration services available include Design Evaluation: Interface Control; Design Concepts; Reliability, Maintainability and Safety; Configuration Management; Human Factors; Concurrent Engineering; Value Engineering; CALS; and Privatization.
Design Evaluation: ASR can conduct reviews and analyses to assess the adequacy of system, subsystem, hardware and software designs. ASR can predict design performance against requirements, identify risks relating to the design, and propose corrective action when the design is determined to be inadequate; develop functional models, performance simulations, and prototypes in support of the analyses; ensure technical compliance with standards; review system level documentation and other documentation.
Interface Control: ASR can develop interface requirements and design interfaces between systems and between systems and external systems. ASR can define the physical, electrical, communications, security, facility, environmental, and other special interface requirements between interfacing systems. ASR can participate in interface control working groups and other forums associated with the definition and control of interfaces; develop, assess, and coordinate, as appropriate, for internal/external Configuration Control Boards and aid in solving interface issues. Participate in readiness activities associated with demonstrations, tests, and implementation activities that involve external interfaces.
Design Concepts: ASR can evaluate new technology and products, including leading edge services, to determine the applicability to meet existing or future requirements. This includes, but is not limited to the following activities: Coordinate and conduct functional technical evaluations; Assess prototype applications of new technologies; Develop alternative technical approaches to current operations; Develop and/or review cost/benefit studies and analyses.
System Integration: ASR can conduct those activities to integrate new systems with other systems to support the ordering agency mission requirements. ASR can verify the interfaces between systems, end-to-end functionality across systems, and end-to-end performance across systems. Integration Plans can be prepared to define the scope, tasks, organizational roles and responsibilities, methods, schedule, and general procedures for the integration of systems. ASR can ensure maintenance of any current user functionality during transition or migration activities. ASR can develop test cases, test procedures, develop test tools, develop test databases, conduct testing, manage a test facilities (at site), document test results, and support Operational Readiness Reviews.
Reliability, Maintainability and Safety: ASR can perform analyses and evaluations of system and equipment design requirements to ensure the design meets or exceeds requirements. ASR can monitor subcontractor design; fabrication and test activities; and conduct such tests and assessments as necessary to demonstrate the achievement of quantitative requirements.
Configuration Management: ASR can prepare a Configuration Management Plan and conduct and provide administrative support for a configuration management program in accordance with that plan. The configuration management program will provide for Formal Configuration Management (the control of baselines (functional and allocated) during system development; Developmental Configuration Management (control of hardware, software, data, and documents during integration with other systems); and Operational Configuration Management (control of operational systems).
Human Factors: ASR can be responsible for identifying and understanding the human factors consideration in a given program as well as the contractual human factors requirements and translate these into meaningful criteria and design requirements to be imposed on the system and equipment designers. We can monitor the design and development activities, making such analytical and empirical determinations as necessary to ensure that optimum man-machine interfaces are achieved.
Concurrent Engineering: ASR’s use of concurrent engineering is a systematic approach to create a product design that considers all elements of the product life cycle from conception through disposal. Concurrent engineering is an integrated design approach that takes into account all desired downstream characteristics during upstream phases to produce a more robust design that is tolerant of manufacturing and use variation, at less cost than sequential design. Concurrent engineering simultaneously defines the product, its manufacturing processes and all other required life cycle processes, such as logistic support.
Value Engineering: ASR has utilized a Value Engineering Program as an incentive mechanism that may be applied to CALS opportunities. Value engineering is an organized effort directed at analyzing the function of systems, equipment, facilities, services and supplies for the purpose of achieving the essential functions at the lowest overall cost of ownership consistent with the required performance, reliability, maintainability, interchangeability, product quality assurance and safety.
CALS: ASR personnel have a working knowledge ofCALS which is a DoD and industry initiative to facilitate the integration of digital technical information for weapon system acquisition, design, manufacture, and support functions. CALS is intended to improve schedule, cost and quality throughout a weapon system acquisition process through the creation and use of a shared data environment, elimination of the development of duplicate data used for separate processes, and improved design and manufacturing capability where design changes will be linked to computer-aided design and engineering processes. Other improvements to be gained from CALS include: reduced down-time through the use of automated diagnostics and feedback; improved responsiveness to industrial initiatives through the development of integrated design and manufacturing capabilities; reduction and eventual elimination of the costly paper environment; and improved reliability, maintainability, and combat effectiveness through the integration of automation technology.
Privatization Support: ASR understands that Federal Agencies are under unprecedented and intense pressure to reduce budgets and number of personnel. At the same time, they are required to deliver additional services to their customer in a more efficient and cautious manner. ASR provides knowledgeable consultants to support the "outsourcing evaluations" as required by OMB Circular A-76. Examples of available privatization support services include strategic, tactical, and operational level planning; initial study planning; comparison of in-home bids to ISSA prices; development of Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP); administrative appeal process; management studies to determine the government’s Most Effective Organization (MEO); development of in-house government cost estimates and development of Performance Work Statements (PWS).
Test and Evaluation: (SIN 871-4)
Acquisition Reform changed government involvement in system acquisition with transition to best commercial practices. Shortened acquisition timelines, reduced budgets and increased contractor test responsibilities intensified several issues. These issues are test planning and execution capabilities, joint contractor and government test efficiency, and both government and industry test experience levels. The purpose of Systems Test and Evaluation is to determine that the system products and services satisfy specified requirements. ASR can support the user agency T&E effort from preparation of test plans to First Article Testing; Demonstration and Validation; System Safety; System Quality Assurance; IOT’s’ OT&Es’; and FDTEs’.
First Article Testing: ASR can support the user agency’sFirst-article tests which include those tests required in the technical data package for quality-assurance purposes to qualify a new manufacturer or procurements from a previous source out of production for an extended period (usually 1 year) and to produce assemblies, components, or repair parts in accordance with requirements of the technical data package.
Environmental Testing: Environmental testing is the methodology for determining the effects of natural and induced environments on equipment being procured, such as humidity, pressure, temperature, dust, RFI, shock, vibration and salt spray. The objects of the testing is to: discover deficiencies and defects and verify corrective actions; and to assess equipment suitability for the environmental condition anticipated throughout the system life-cycle. ASR engineering personnel have extensive experience in environmental testing in both the laboratory and in the field.
Demonstration and Validation: Demonstration and validation means all efforts necessary to evaluate integrated technologies in as realistic an operating environment as possible to assess the performance or cost reduction potential of advanced technology. ASR personnel can support the demonstration and validation phase that is system specific and also includes advanced technology demonstrations that help expedite technology transition from the laboratory to operational use.
System Safety: System safety is an engineering approach to risk assessment and management. It systematically identifies potential hazards associated with hardware or software failure or human error. The system safety process creates appropriate and effective controls for identifying and minimizing the danger to life, health and property. ASR personnel understand hardware/software and the System Safety concepts that apply to facilities and projects during design, development, prototyping, manufacturing, testing, operations, and maintenance. ASR’s life-cycle system safety analysis is based upon the broad experience gained working similar activities on engineering activities for government agencies.
Quality Assurance: ASR has staff personnel who have been certified as Black-belts and are knowledgeable in the application of QFD. A goal of supplier quality assurance is to continuously improve the quality, reduce the time to produce each product, and reduce the part rejection rate. ASR approaches this goal by recommending programs such as Statistical Process Control (SPC) with corrective action plans to prevent past discrepancies, analysis of the design for ease of manufacture and increase the process yield. We also identify manufacturing bottlenecks, improve production flow, and observe set-ups to reduce time. This is all done within the Total Quality Management (TQM) concept. This is a concept actively promulgated, which states that "Quality" is a responsibility of everyone in an organization. In simple terms, it means doing "right things right" and it is the responsibility of everyone, and every department, not only those actively involved in quality assurance.
Quality Function Deployment (QFD) is a tool that is an efficient and effective method for meeting customer requirements. The QFD methodology consists of a structured procedure that starts with the qualities desired by the customer (the objective), identifies the functions required to provide these products or services, and identifies the means for deploying the available resources to best provide these products and/or services.
Initial Operation Testing (IOT): The IOT is a field test, under realistic operational conditions, of a production or production-representative system (or key component of such a system) to determine its operational effectiveness and operational suitability for use by typical users. ASR personnel can support the IOT environment is as operationally realistic as possible and includes use of realistic threats. Typical users operate and maintain the system under conditions simulating actual deployment conditions.
Operational Testing and Evaluation (OT&E): Test and evaluation should begin as soon as possible in the life cycle management of a system. ASR can perform a thorough front-end analysis that includes review of previous testing and analysis. The careful development and updating of the test and evaluation master plan/ coordinated test program should provide the ordering agency evaluator with a means of obtaining test data for the evaluator's issues without requiring duplicative testing.
Force Development Testing and Experimentation (FDTE): ASR can support an FDTE that is used to support combat, training, force developments, and material acquisition processes by providing essential information for refinement of and decision-making events for these concepts. In the early phases of a materiel acquisition program, an FDTE assists in developing the concept of employment, determining operational feasibility, and estimating the potential operational advantage of a proposed system or concept, and providing information to assist in development of requirements or supporting documents, such as a letter of agreement (LOA), required operational capability (ROC), letter requirement (LR), training device requirement (TDR), or organizational and operational (O&O) plan. Later, an FDTE examines alternative candidate subsystems, revised concepts of employment or force structures, or issues not completely addressed in earlier testing. In the early phases of operational, organizational and training concepts development, FDTE provides data to assist in defining and refining the concept and to estimate potential of the concept. Later, FDTE examines effectiveness and suitability of the concepts to aid the final decision on whether to implement the concept or not.
Privatization Support: ASR understands that Federal Agencies are under unprecedented and intense pressure to reduce budgets and number of personnel. At the same time, they are required to deliver additional services to their customer in a more efficient and cautious manner. ASR provides knowledgeable consultants to support the "outsourcing evaluations" as required by OMB Circular A-76. Examples of available privatization support services include strategic, tactical, and operational level planning; initial study planning; comparison of in-home bids to ISSA prices; development of Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP); administrative appeal process; management studies to determine the government’s Most Effective Organization (MEO); development of in-house government cost estimates and development of Performance Work Statements (PWS).
Integrated Logistics Support: (SIN 871-5)
ASR supports the management of ILS functions and technical logistics services to ensure that existing and future systems and components are logistically supportable, increasing the ordering agency’s ability to satisfy their mission objectives. ILS activities will address both the development of new systems, cost effectively supported throughout the life-cycle, as well as the evolutionary upgrade and migration of existing systems, subsystems, and components. Examples of Integrated Logistics Support services available include Logistics Modeling, Maintenance Planning Manpower Studies and Assessments Supply Support: Support Equipment and Test, Measurement and Diagnostics Equipment (TMDE): Training and Training Devices: Packaging, Handling and Storage (PHS): Transportation and Transportability Facilities Planning: and Privatization.
Logistics Modeling: ASR can perform logistics modeling for determination of the most cost-effective alternatives. Studies and analyses of logistics are conducted during every life cycle phase. They are essential to achieving the primary mission of ILS, achieving maximum readiness at minimum support cost. We employ both standard analysis methodologies and systems developed in the ILS activities to solve specific weapon system problems.
Several factors are driving significant changes in the support environment for weapons systems. We understand their potential impacts, and will use this knowledge to focus efforts on high payoff opportunities and critical issues. These factors include: new technologies with new performance parameters and logistics demands, austere operating environments because of restricted funding, new logistics systems and technologies creating new logistics support opportunities.

Facilities Planning: ASR can provide reviewing, evaluating, and/or proposing necessary action to accommodate timely facility planning. This encompasses those management actions, procedures, and techniques used to insure that all required permanent or semi-permanent operating and support facilities are available concurrent with system fielding. This shall include, but not be limited to the following: Determining the need for and recommending new construction or modification to existing facilities; Participating and providing input to studies that define and establish impacts on Life Cycle Cost, military construction funding, facility locations/improvement, space requirements, environmental impacts, duration or frequency of use, safety and health standards, and security requirements; Determining requirements for fixed and mobile facilities to include range and types of utilities, design for safety, work environment, and health standards.
Privatization Support: ASR understands that Federal Agencies are under unprecedented and intense pressure to reduce budgets and number of personnel. At the same time, they are required to deliver additional services to their customer in a more efficient and cautious manner. ASR provides knowledgeable consultants to support the "outsourcing evaluations" as required by OMB Circular A-76. Examples of available privatization support services include strategic, tactical, and operational level planning; initial study planning; comparison of in-home bids to ISSA prices; development of Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP); administrative appeal process; management studies to determine the government’s Most Effective Organization (MEO); development of in-house government cost estimates and development of Performance Work Statements (PWS).
Acquisition and Life Cycle Management: (SIN 871-6)
The mission of ASR is to help business and government leaders incorporate life cycle thinking into their decision-making processes. Global population and environmental pressures are challenging multinational companies to assure that they can meet the needs of both present and future generations of customers and stakeholders. Likewise, effective government policies must take into account the emerging market forces that are driving industry strategies. Today, sustainability encompasses the "triple bottom line" of economic, social, and environmental performance and requires vision and commitment at the senior executive level. Implementing the vision typically involves substantial business process changes, including designing products and processes with a full awareness of their life cycle costs and benefits, and seeking new technologies to create more value with fewer resources.
Operation and Maintenance: ASR can support the O&M phase which involves the full operations of the system and the normal maintenance of all subsystems. The O&M phase of a project begins after system acceptance testing and continues for the life of the system. The objectives of the O&M phase are to operate, or assist in operating, the system as part of an ongoing mission; perform system engineering services in support of diagnosing errors and deficiencies in the system; produce and incorporate improvements and corrections in the system; and ensure the system's continued operational efficiency and correctness.
Configuration Management: ASR can support the configuration management of a system's evolving configuration over its life cycle involves control of the system, configuration identification, status accounting, CAS, CCB audits, and traceability. Generally applied over the development, integration and test, and operations phases of the life cycle, the scope and formality of CM will depend on project type (i.e., end item, mission or task order), system size, system complexity, and the risks associated with system development.
Reliability and Maintainability: Reliability and Maintainability (R&M) is a technology which will enable acquisition logistics managers to understand the relationships between R&M (engineering disciplines) and acquisition logistics and more effectively evaluate the potential impact of R&M decisions on the logistics aspects of a systems acquisition program.
Program/Project Management: Large-scale systems development, "grand design" class, and modular-oriented acquisition programs are dependent on effective acquisition-oriented program management. A meaningful and disciplined acquisition program management process is essential to effectively manage the risks, regardless of staffing and location.
Risk Management: ASR can support user agencies in the development of Risk Management Plans; identify risk and risk owners; evaluate the risks as to likelihood and consequences; assess the options for accommodating the risks; and track the risk management effort and manage accordingly.
Site Development: Site Surveys. ASR conducts comprehensive site surveys to assess existing network infrastructure and to assess the physical layout and condition of the proposed network location. We also assess facility (or shipboard) requirements such as physical structures, inter/intra-building (or compartment) distribution systems, equipment locations, civil engineering considerations such as electrical and mechanical services, and environmental and safety considerations. We also assess such implementation requirements as user points of contact, scheduling, installation restrictions, and site management factors.
Site Preparation. ASR performs the full spectrum of site preparation services as required, including expanding or modifying real property to support system installation, ensuring proper environmental controls are in place and electrical requirements are in order, and performing special services such as trenching, installing or repairing duct systems, and removing hazardous materials such as asbestos.
Reverse Engineering: The objective of reverse engineering is to extract design information from program code. We reverse engineer to enhance program understanding during maintenance and to facilitate software re-engineering. Depending on the needs of a particular project, we reverse engineer different sources and produce many types of design views by applying different reverse engineering heuristics. ASR’s design method is based on conceptual modeling of tool capabilities and on separation of conceptual models from implementation-level considerations. Tools that we build can be customized to a reverse engineering task in hand, in particular, can work with different source languages, contain a user-level facility to specify reverse engineering heuristics and filters to tune in the reverse engineering process and can be ported across a range of physical program representations.
Technology Transfer/Insertion: The classical technology transfer mechanisms are media such as technical reports, prototype development and workshops. ASR’s technology transfer strategies and plans are developed and used in each program based on the degree of standardization in the program, on the program's method(s) of management, on the industrial nature of the processes involved, and on the expected utility of the product. The Services' R&D laboratories and centers coordinate closely with their technology transfer organizations to develop implementation plans.
Privatization Support: ASR understands that Federal Agencies are under unprecedented and intense pressure to reduce budgets and number of personnel. At the same time, they are required to deliver additional services to their customer in a more efficient and cautious manner. ASR provides knowledgeable consultants to support the "outsourcing evaluations" as required by OMB Circular A-76. Examples of available privatization support services include strategic, tactical, and operational level planning; initial study planning; comparison of in-home bids to ISSA prices; development of Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP); administrative appeal process; management studies to determine the government’s Most Effective Organization (MEO); development of in-house government cost estimates and development of Performance Work Statements (PWS).
ORDERING INSTRUCTIONS AND GUIDELINES
Getting Started: When you determine that outside assistance is needed, the Project Manager (PM) should work closely with the agency procurement office to develop a Statement of Work (SOW) that addresses work to be accomplished, deliverables, period of performance, and other applicable requirements.
The agency procurement office should request proposals or expressions of interest from a minimum of three Schedule contractors (a list of PES contractors can be obtained from the GSA). The agency procurement office conducts a Best Value Review using at least three GSA Federal Supply Schedule Pricelists accessible through the Internet at GSA Advantage; http://www.fss.gsa.gov.
Formal competition to determine a vendor’s technical capabilities is not required because GSA has already determined that Schedule holders are qualified to perform the services.
Selecting a PES Consultant: Most agencies have needs that will almost certainly require a unique combination of the services available through the PES schedule. It is very important to find a consultant that has the range of services that meet your requirements.
Issuing a PES Delivery Order: The process of issuing a delivery order under the Federal Supply Schedule is relatively simple and can generally be accomplished in a matter of days. The ordering activity, for example, issues a delivery order directly to the PES contractor for the required supplies or services, which in itself reduces significantly the administrative time. Ordering activities must, however, select a consultant using one of the three approaches below before a delivery order is issued.
1. Contact and/or review the catalogs of three firms, or
2. Request oral proposals from three firms, or
3. Request written proposals from three firms.FAR Part 13 does not apply when agency requirements are satisfied through a Federal Supply Schedule, and ordering activities are not required to seek full and open competition, synopsize the requirement, or make a determination of fair and reasonable pricing. GSA does not prescribe a particular delivery order method; however, the agency must specify the type of services required, delivery time(s), and a task order pricing method (using either fixed price or labor hour pricing).
Establishing a Blanket Purchase Agreement: Agencies that anticipate a repetitive need for PES-related services may wish to establish a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA). The BPA is generally useful when ordering activities wish to purchase a wide range of services but the exact items, quantities, and delivery requirements are not known in advance and may vary considerably. BPAs may be established with Federal Supply Schedule contractors. FAR Part 13, Subpart 13.202 (c) (3), specifically addresses establishing BPAs with Federal Supply Schedule Contractors.
