Defining Program Relationships Complementary
Programs
FCS Core Defined as the 19 Systems
specifically called out in the FCS ORD, to
include current programs that will be integrated
directly into the 19 Systems. FCS is responsible
for the integration and procurement of these
systems into FCS platforms.
UA Battlespace
JTA
FIOP
UA SoS
JCAD
ACS
UA Complementary Those existing systems
essential to get the family of systems to work
together but are not part of the FCS Core
Systems, or to facilitate operation of an
individual core system. They will also have
applicability outside the FCS Core Systems. Those
systems needed to operate or support a system of
systems within the UA but not FCS core systems.

Key Tenets of the Program

• Create Opportunity for Best of Industry to
  Participate
• Leverage Government Technology Base to Maximum
  Extent
• Associate On-Going Enabling Efforts With LSI-Led
  Activity
• Collaborative Environment from Design Through
  Life Cycle
• As a Minimum, Commonality at Subsystem/Component
  Level
• Design/Plan for Technology Integration and
  Insertion
• Maintain and Shape Industrial Base for the Future
• Retain Competition Throughout Objective Force
  Acquisition
• Appropriate Government Involvement in Procurement
  Processes
• Maintain and Shape Government Acquisition
  Community
• Program Affordability--Balance Performance and
  Sustainment

Always Remember - FCS is a System of Systems Not
Individual Pieces
13
Competition Plan

• Competition is a key Tenet of the Program
• Promotes Competition to the maximum extent
• Capitalize on Broad Industry Announcement
  process
• Identifies and share sources for key technology
  areas
• Continued Market Research to identify and
  incorporate
• Small Businesses/Non-Traditional Defense
  Contractors
• Technology requirements for technology insertion
• Involves all Major Partners in Process
• A key Flow down in all major contracts
• Strategy encompasses Boeing/LSI Best Practices
• Best Value approach to source selection
• Senior Government participation in all phases
  including final source selection approval
• Small and Non-traditional Business participation
• Partner involvement to achieve horizontal
  integration

14
Contracting Approach

• Broad Industry Announcements (BIAs)
• Utilize BIA process to identify and include the
  Best of Industry for FCS
• Significant industry participation (over 4500
  proposals evaluated)
• Conducted Nine industry briefings with over 1100
  participants
• System Design and Development (SDD) Competition
• Significant industry participation in
  Specification, SOW and and RFP development
• RFPs unrestricted to Industry
• Over 1600 RFPs released to 309 suppliers for 23
  subcontracts
• Conducted Best Value source selection
• 23 supplier partners selected (21 large and 2
  small)
• Debriefs given to suppliers detailing ratings and
  rankings
• FCS policy encourages Small business
  participation
• Small businesses are a large part of our Best of
  Industry team
• Small business plan is aligned to contract goals
  that are flowed down to our large business
  partners
