What is
Focused Sustainment?
In the course
of normal worldwide field operations, the Army will require supplemental
assistance to successfully operate and maintain the highly complex fleet of
equipment being used by soldiers today. Similarly, the U.S. Army
Tank-automotive and Armaments Command (TACOM) will require products and
services to fulfill its mission to sustain the Army's field operations.
The intent of
the Focused Sustainment support contract is to provide the Army and other
government agencies, with the means to immediately respond to critical missions
required to sustain the high OPTEMPO faced by our forces.
TACOM has
created a Task Order contract that can support all United States government
agencies worldwide. Focused Sustainment is a long-term program intended to
provide the contracting flexibility and responsiveness necessary to respond to
critical mission requirements. The contract features pre-negotiated skill
categories. Proposals can be completed by DUCOM within as little as 24 hours
from time of receipt. The quick turn-around, combined with other features,
significantly reduces the time required and associated cost to the Government
and enables rapid contract award and start of performance by the DUCOM team.
