As the focal point for this effort, DHS Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction (CWMD) requires consulting and program management support that can reinforce and better enable a more dynamic and operationally-focused DHS strategy.
The person selected for this position should be able to provide technical and managerial direction for problem definition, analysis, requirements development, and implementation for complex to extremely complex systems in the homeland security area.
Please note:
This position will be located on a client site in Washington, DC.

Provides oversite to the execution of the DHS systems engineering process.
Communicates requirements and systems engineering processes to relevant stakeholders.
Coordinates requirements generation process across the Homeland Security enterprise.
Deliver any and/or all of the following draft and final proposed requirements related products under this contract:
Capability Analysis Study Plan (CASP).
This product refers to the official notice to the DHS Joint Requirements Council (JRC) and stakeholders that a Sponsor is initiating a capability analysis.
It provides the first opportunity for the JRC to review for staffing designation.
It articulates the approach used for the analysis.
CASPs provide greater visibility into ongoing studies and assessments, encourage collaboration, leverage existing efforts, and eliminate unnecessary duplication of current study efforts.
The DHS JRIMS user manual has an example of a CASP in the form of a template.
Capability Analysis Reports (CAR).
This product refers to the analysis that is completed in order to document a mission area or specific capability.
The objective of this report is to document the statues, policies, and/or executive guidance that establish the mandate to conduct the activity/mission.
The analysis must also document the desired outcomes and measureable objectives of that activity as well as any capability gaps that must be filled in order to achieve those objectives.
Finally, the CAR must make recommendations regarding material or non-material approaches to filling the identified capability gaps.
The DHS JRIMS user manual has an example of a CAR in the form of a template.
Non-Material Change Recommendation (NMCR).
This product is to propose nonmaterial solutions as an alternative to, or complement of, materiel solutions.
For non-materiel solutions which impact only the Sponsor organizations, NMCRs are required by JRIMS for informational purposes only.
As Components manage Component-specific non-material solutions at their discretion, the JRC requires submission of Component-centric NMCRs to maintain awareness and visibility of ongoing efforts across the Department.
For non-materiel solutions which impact more than just the Sponsor organization, a joint NMCR is used to ensure equities of all effected organizations are addressed during review and validation.
The DHS JRIMS user manual has an example of a NMCR in the form of a template.
Mission Need Statement (MNS).
The MNS is the formal description of the strategic need for an investment and is a crucial part of the acquisition process.
It is only done when a material solution is desired and it formalizes the need for an acquisition investment.
The MNS links the capability gap described in the CAR with the specific investment that will mitigate that gap.
The MNS outlines, to whatever level of detail is possible at the time, what functional capabilities are required to perform the mission and documents, using a Doctrine, Organization, Training, Materiel, Leadership, Personnel, Facilities/Regulations, Grants, and Standards (DOTMLPF/RGS) framework.
The MNS will be executed in accordance with the guidance provided in the DHS JRIMS user manual.
The DHS JRIMS user manual has an example of a MNS in the form of a template.
Concept of Operations (CONOPS).
The CONOPS explains how the asset described in the MNS will be used to fill the capability gap identified in the CAR.
Its focus is the intended operational environment.
The CONOPS must contain the information necessary to gain consensus among all the stakeholders including the Sponsor, Acquisition, and Support communities.
The CONOPS will be executed in accordance with the guidance provided in the DHS JRIMS user manual.
The DHS JRIMS user manual has an example of a CONOPS in the form of a template.
Operational Requirements Document (ORD).
The ORD articulates the performance required by the Sponsor in order for the asset to mitigate the capability gaps identified in the CAR.
It describes the system in terms of a range (threshold and objectives) of acceptable standards of performance.
The ORD is the definitive source document that provides the detailed asset information used by the System Engineering, Acquisition, Cost Estimating and Test communities.
The ORD will be executed in accordance with the guidance provided in the DHS JRIMS user manual.
The DHS JRIMS user manual has an example of an ORD in the form of a template.
