Description

Air Force Global Strike Command (AFGSC), Barksdale AFB, LA awarded the subject requirement on a sole source basis to Executive Leadership Group (CAGE Code: 31LL7), 326 W Pitkin Ave, Pueblo, Colorado, 81004-1842, United States.

AFGSC requires development of a comprehensive, executable strategic plan aligned to its nuclear deterrence and global strike mission. The effort includes: longitudinal reassessment using prior Force Improvement Plan (FIP) analytical frameworks; integration of vitality-based constructs from the Squadron Revitalization Study; strategic alignment and gap analysis; development of strategic architecture and implementation plans; strategic launch and execution management process initiation; and transition to Government sustainment. The period of performance is 365 calendar days.

Executive Leadership Group (ELG) is the only responsible source capable of satisfying this requirement without unacceptable risk to the Government. ELG led the development process and subsequent training of the initial 2014 AFGSC Force Improvement Plan (FIP) assessments and served as the architect of the analytical frameworks and structured interview methodologies used to establish AFGSC’s institutional performance baseline. ELG also conducted the Air Force Squadron Revitalization study, and designed the vitality-based analytical constructs. The current requirement is explicitly structured as a longitudinal reassessment requiring preservation of methodological continuity with the original FIP and vitality frameworks (see PWS Task 2). The Government requires: application of the original FIP analytical architecture; preservation of interpretive weighting constructs; use of vitality-based constructs embedded in prior assessments; and longitudinal comparability to prior baselines. ELG retains proprietary methodology associated with its structured interview approaches, synthesis frameworks, and integrated qualitative-quantitative analysis techniques. While the Government owns prior deliverables, the underlying analytical architecture, structured coding constructs, and interpretive sequencing logic remain ELG intellectual capital. Competition would require reconstruction or reinterpretation of analytical frameworks originally designed and applied by ELG. Such reconstruction would introduce risk of analytical distortion, degradation of longitudinal validity, and loss of comparability to prior institutional baselines. Given AFGSC’s role as the Air Force’s command for nuclear deterrence, degradation of analytical fidelity presents unacceptable mission risk. No other known source possesses direct experience architecting and applying the original FIP analytical framework, direct authorship of the vitality-based constructs used in the Squadron Revitalization study, embedded institutional knowledge necessary to preserve longitudinal validity, or demonstrated experience building strategic plans within the Department of the Air Force. Accordingly, ELG is uniquely qualified to perform this requirement.

The statutory authority for other than full and open competition is 10 USC 2304(a)(1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii), only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. Vendors may send written correspondence to the following address: grant.wilson.1@us.af.mil. The North American Classification System (NAICS) code 541611 is used for determining company size status.
