Task Area 4 - Capability Development. The Contractor shall provide Capability Development support. This support typically requires, but is not limited to practical knowledge, experience, and application of: all aspects of the Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System (JCIDS) process and related requirements documents and Doctrine, Organization, Training, Material, Leadership, Personnel, and Facilities (DOTMLPF) research, (Functional Area Analysis (FAA), Functional Needs Analysis (FNA), Functional Solution Analysis (FSA), Analysis of Materiel Approaches (AMA), Analysis of Alternatives (AoA), Initial Capability Documents (ICD), Capabilities-Based Assessment (CBA), Capabilities Development Document (CDD), Capability Production Document (CPD)); emerging technologies with spiral development, and program of record life cycle design; development and refinement Concept of Operations (CONOPS) and Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTP). All work shall be in accordance with the JCIDS instruction (CJCSI 3170.01H, dated 10 Jan 12, or its successor), TRADOC Regulation 71-20 and the TRADOC Pamphlet 525 Series. TO work can also include experimentation which supports DoD Capability Development and JCIDS requirements. 5.5.1. Specific tasks include: development, staffing, revision, implementation, and assessment of appropriate level JCIDS requirements and related documents; design, development, review, and recommend revision of organizational design/structures; equipment acquisition support (i.e., pre-Milestone A documentation) for developmental and non-developmental items; identify materiel requirements and complete acquisition, technical, and logistical requirements for Post-Rapid Field Initiative (RFI) items; propose resolution for engineering, manpower integration and system safety issues; identify operational tasks, conditions, and standards (T/C/S) related to the capability under consideration; support program management functions (e.g., modifications to approved programs of record in Soldier equipment or ammunition) for programs managed by the MCoE; identify and document DOTMLPF change recommendations, identifying and documenting materiel approaches to gaps recognized as requiring materiel solution, and documenting the readiness and ability to fill capability gap based on SME input; develop scenario and variables for testing capability; planning/development of live, virtual, and constructive (LVC) experimentation; execution of LVC experiments. See TE - E for a general description of the JCIDS process. 5.5.2. Generally speaking, the majority of Contractor support begins after Milestone A and ends prior to Milestone C, with the most of the effort focused on CDD and CPD development, coordination, and preparation for the next milestone. Portions of DOTMLPF analysis are ongoing or recurring, and are an integral part of prioritizing focus and ensuring operational requirements and needs are the most up-to-date in an ever-changing environment. Experimentation and resultant data supports any developmental stage, and provides the basis for procedural decisions in the acquisition life cycle.
