OSW - WHS - Technical, Analytical, and Policy Advisory Support - MRAS

The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), on behalf of the Office of the Secretary of War (OSW), is conducting market research to identify firms capable of providing technical, analytical, and policy advisory support services. This initiative aims to bolster homeland defense, defense support of civil authorities (DSCA), and domestic operations within the Department of War (DoW). The overarching goal is to enhance decision-making processes for senior leaders through strategic policy analysis, operational planning, and crisis-action coordination in response to evolving national security challenges.

The work requested involves a comprehensive range of services designed to support the Assistant Secretary of War for Homeland Defense and Americas Security Affairs (ASW(HD&ASA)) and the Deputy Assistant Secretary of War for Homeland Defense (DASW(HD)). These services include delivering subject-matter expertise, strategic policy advice, and coordination activities that are crucial for effective operational planning and mission execution. The contractor will be expected to integrate emerging technologies and data-driven approaches into existing frameworks to address complex homeland defense challenges effectively.

A critical aspect of this contract is ensuring seamless integration into OSW's existing operations without disrupting ongoing mission support. The contractor must provide personnel with highly specialized national security backgrounds who can immediately contribute to OSW's objectives. Additionally, maintaining strict operational security compliance when managing sensitive portfolios is paramount. The contract also requires a strategy for recruiting personnel with active TS/SCI clearances and specific DSCA/DSS expertise while ensuring high retention rates to mitigate risks associated with key personnel vacancies.
