SIN 871-1 STRATEGIC PLANNING FOR TECHNOLOGY PROGRAMS/ACTIVITIES

Services required under this SIN involve the definition and interpretation of high-level organizational engineering performance requirements such as projects, systems, missions, etc., and the objectives and approaches to their achievement.  Typical associated tasks include, but are not limited to an analysis of mission, program goals and objectives, requirements analysis, organizational performance assessment, special studies and analysis, training, privatization and outsourcing.

Example:  The evaluation and preliminary definition of new and/or improved performance goals for navigation satellites – such as launch procedures and costs, multi-user capability, useful service life, accuracy and resistance to natural and man made electronic interference.

Architect-Engineering (A/E) Services as that term is defined in FAR 36.601-3 are excluded from the PES Schedule.  If the agency’s statement of work, substantially or to a dominant extent, specifies performance or approval by a registered licensed architect or engineer for services related to real property, the Brooks Architect-Engineers Act applies and such services must be procured in accordance with FAR Part 36.  Use of this schedule for Brooks Act architectural or engineering services is not authorized. Inappropriate use of this SIN is providing professional engineering services not specifically related to strategic planning for technology programs/activities and associated disciplines.

Services required under this SIN involve abstract or concept studies and analysis, requirements definition, preliminary planning, the evaluation of alternative technical approaches and associated costs for the development or enhancement of high level general performance specifications of a system, project, mission or activity. Typical associated tasks include, but are not limited to requirements analysis, cost/cost-performance trade-off analysis, feasibility analysis, regulatory compliance support, technology conceptual designs, training, privatization and outsourcing.

Example:  The development and analysis of the total mission profile and life cycle of the improved satellite including examination of performance and cost tradeoffs.

Architect-Engineering Services as that term is defined in FAR 36.601-3 are excluded from the PES Schedule. If the agency’s statement of work, substantially or to a dominant extent, specifies performance or approval by a registered of licensed architect or engineer for services related to real property, the Brooks Architect-Engineers Act applies and such services must be procured in accordance with FAR Part 36.  Use of this schedule for Brooks Act architectural or engineering services is not authorized.
