PDS personnel have extensive experience with the entire DOD 5000 acquisition process including concept exploration (CE), program definition and risk reduction (PDRR) and engineering and manufacturing development (EMD), low rate initial production (LRIP), production and fielding deployment. We are especially focused on the preparation of all the major DOD 5000.2 plans that make up a major system acquisition. PDS personnel have thorough knowledge, experience, and understanding in all phases of DOD 5000.We have prepared Design Decision Documents (DDDs), Decision Coordinating Papers (DCPs), Operational Requirements (ORs), Acquisition Program Baseline (APBs), Cost and Operational Effectiveness Analysis (COEAs). Our staff is well versed with the instructions and requirements for preparing these documents.Acquisition Support
PDS personnel have received training in the latest procurement policies and the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). We are intimately familiar with the development of the full range of acquisition documentation, including: System Segment Specifications (SSSs), System Segment Design Specifications (SSDSs), Contract Data Requirements Lists (CDRLs), Statements of Work (SOWs), and Procurement Requests (PRs). We have a complete library of all military standards, DIDs and military specifications. Life Cycle Engineering PDS approach to life cycle engineering is to insure that the basic design of the system is optimized for life cycle cost. We employ proven system engineering techniques to achieve this goal. We have developed an array of interrelated in house and commercial cost models that allow us to prepare cost estimates for all phases of the life cycle. Our personnel are experts in the preparation of WBSs and the identification of cost drivers that effect each of the elements in each program phase.
