Paper #1

Scenario:

You have been individually assigned to a High Objective
Tiger Team (HOTT) for the U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE)
Acquisition Division. However, your
independent task is to provide the initial strategy for a multiple sourcing
acquisition plan to acquire 1,000 Piezoelectric Embedded Transducers (PET)
under the Wide Alignment Limited Loading (WALL) Geostructure Program. The PET is aimed at providing an enhanced
surveillance capability for the new WALL Program. The resultant Contract will be a multi-year
requirement within a notional budget of $20 – $30M.

The major deliverable Line Items are 1) Required Hardware,
2) Software, 3) Non-developmental Support and Data. Under this scenario you must consider
acquisition strategy planning to include documentation containing the
following:

1. Highlight THREE (3) distinct acquisition planning
fundamentals, and the rationale for managing each in the Acquisition process
for the PET. Provide an explanation for
why these fundamentals are essential for the PET Sourcing and future
negotiations. Be specific as to your justification for each.

2. Select a Contract type for the deliverable Line Items
above, and discuss THREE (3) specific performance factors affecting your choice
of Contract type. Explain how each of the factors contributes to meeting the
contemplated PET performance standards and acquisition objectives. Be specific as to your justification for
each.

In all cases, your rationale and justification must be
explicitly tied to the PET, and be as objective as possible. Keep your thoughts
organized by placing a space between paragraphs, and use HEADINGS to match the
requirements. Your exposition should reflect considerable thought and go beyond
restating large literature passages. A
minimum of four peer reviewed sources are required, with attribution, in
accordance with APA guidelines.

Your total response scope should be no more than the
equivalent of 4, and no less than 3, typed, double-spaced pages of content, not
including the title, reference, extraneous tables or lists, and exhibits. Abstracts are not required, and should not be
included. This paper is worth 25 points
and is due on March 15, 2019.

The information in the scenario is all that you need for
this assignment. However, you are permitted to make clearly stated assumptions
to support additional information that you need for your Paper deliverables 1,
and 2 listed above.
