Description

Request for Solutions: Rapid Acquisition & Private-capital Transition for Operational Readiness (RAPTOR)

Background and Summary: The Department of the Navy Rapid Capabilities Office (DON RCO) is the single accountable organization spanning all naval warfare domains, tasked with rapidly delivering transformative solutions to the hardest DON operational problems. To execute this mission, the Navy needs a rapid, risk-reduced method to identify, evaluate, and acquire cutting-edge technologies from non-traditional vendors and private capital markets to resolve urgent operational warfighter capability gaps within a one-to-three-year delivery horizon.

Purpose: To prototype and validate a new business process framework—delivered as integrated mission advisory and operating-partner services—featuring three distinct workstreams: (1) DONRCO 1.0 Portfolio Performance, encompassing capability shaping, performer diligence, Measure of Effectiveness (MOE) and Measure of Performance (MOP) design, and return on investment (ROI) assessment; (2) DONRCO 2.0 Mission Planning, encompassing platform architecture, standard operating procedures, and a capital coordination and stakeholder engagement framework; and (3) Navy Office of Small Business Programs (OSBP) Strategic Deal Support, encompassing strategic deal architecture, contract structuring, and partner/vendor sourcing. This effort directly supports the SECWAR and SECNAV mandate for immediate acquisition reform and the Budget Execution-Year Technology Selection (BETS) portfolio model.
