Incorporation in Acquisition |
|
A comprehensive mission statement covering the major functions and operations of the agency. |
No counterpart. |
Establishes the function to be supported by the technology as central to achievement of the agency’s mission, answering in part the first "pesky question" – and makes clear to contractor(s) the mission-related role of the contract. |
|
General goals and objectives, including outcome-related goals and objectives, for the major functions and operations of the agency. |
Performance goals, expressed in an objective, quantifiable, and measurable form, that define the level of performance to be achieved by a program activity. |
Enables the statement of the requirement to address desired outcomes, placing a degree of performance burden on the contractor. [Note: For all but major acquisitions, the GPRA performance goals may need to be expanded to detail the cost, schedule, and performance goals required by FASA.] |
|
A description of how the goals and objectives are to be achieved, including a description of the operational processes, skills and technology, and the human, capital, information, and other resources required to meet those goals and objectives. |
The operational processes, skills and technology, and the human, capital, information, or other resources required to meet the performance goals. [Note: the description in the annual plan may be more detailed than that in the strategic plan.] |
May be used to flesh out the statement of requirements in terms of an approved (by agency, OMB, and Congress) approach and required resources. |
|
An identification of those key factors external to the agency and beyond its control that could significantly affect the achievement of the general goals and objectives. |
No counterpart. |
Addresses key elements of risk that may be appropriate for inclusion in the solicitation to obtain offeror recommendations on risk mitigation and management. |
|
A description of the program evaluations used in establishing or revising general goals and objectives, with a schedule for future program evaluation. |
Performance indicators to be used in measuring or assessing the relevant outputs, service levels, and outcomes of each program activity.
The basis for comparing actual program results with the established performance goals.
The means to be used to verify and validate measured values. |
Permits development of a complementary contractor evaluation process (to the extent that the contractor will be responsible for meeting performance goals and objectives) that can feed into the program evaluation process. [Note: For all but major acquisitions, the GPRA performance indicators may need to be expanded to detail how to measure the cost, schedule, and performance goals required by FASA.] |
