Vehicles

The Washington Headquarters Services, Acquisition Directorate is the Single Enterprise Contracting Office (SECO) for the Office of the Secretary of Defense. The SECO purchases over 1.3 billion in products and services annually. The largest category of services purchased for SECO customers is knowledge-based services (KBS). KBS accounts for $973 million (approximately 75%) of the total funds obligated by the SECO. In FY14 approximately $361 million of those knowledge-based services were acquired as commercial services.

Objective

It is the WHS objective to both utilize a single commercial multiple award vehicle to manage the majority of its commercial KBS purchases over the next five years, and to implement a commercial professional services BPA that implements the business model articulated in FAR 1.102-2. Its attributes are as follows:

• Satisfies the customer in terms of cost, quality, and timeliness while minimizing administrative operating costs and fulfills public policy objectives
• Provides the best value to the agency as it will balance the many competing interests (competition, small business, quality, and fair and reasonable pricing)
• Results in a system which works better and cost less

Capabilities

Redhorse and our team members (the Redhorse Team) offers world-class engineering, technology and management consulting solutions to support OSD. We have recent, relevant experience satisfying the Knowledge-Based Services requirements of OSD, including OUSD(I), AT&L, ASD(R&E) and subordinate agency, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). Our current DoD projects embody “hard problems”. The Redhorse Team supports the Secretary’s Quadrennial Defense Review focus on Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities by conducting data-driven studies of DoD ISR systems effectiveness to inform resourcing, allocation and employment decisions. We help engineer those same systems to survive harsh environments and hostile enemies. The Redhorse team also supports DoD cyber capabilities development; from supporting Defense Science Board studies of cyber defense risk planning, to engineering groundbreaking new computer chips for DARPA. We help speed capabilities to the warfighter though our support to ASD(R&E) Rapid Response Technologies Office and help to engineer future defenses against biological threats such as Ebola for OUSD(AT&L).
