Program Analyst – NCG-1

Type

Full Time

Agency Name

United States Navy

Location

Naval Construction Group ONE (NCG-1), Port Hueneme, CA

Background Information

NCG-1 and NCG-2 logistically support, man, train, equip, and mobilize Active and Reserve Naval Construction Force (NCF) units for global employment in task-tailored, adaptable, and combat effective engineering and construction. The NCF units are comprised of Naval Construction Regiments (NCR), Naval Mobile Construction Battalions (NMCB), Naval Construction Battalions (NCB), Seabee Training and Evaluation Units (STEU), and Underwater Construction Teams (UCT) and are homeported in Port Hueneme, CA, San Diego, CA, Little Creek, VA, Gulfport, MS, Santa Rita, Guam and Rota, Spain. NCG-1 and NCG-2 collaborate with Naval Facilities Engineering and Expeditionary Warfare Center (EXWC) for the development and integration of new technology into the NCF. EXWC has the subject matter competency to deploy, test, and evaluate new technologies while the NCF benefits from the opportunity to observe and provide recommendations and feedback on new technologies prior to integration into the Table of Allowances (TOA). The combined alliance between the two groups can significantly improve the efficiency of disseminating valuable NCF feedback to the Naval Acquisition Enterprise, while potentially improving technologies before TOA integration. JCIDS documentation, statement of needs documentation, and EXWIP and POM submissions are the necessary processes to implement new technologies into the NCF TOAs.

Scope of Work

Responsibilities include but are not limited to:

• Provide verification, justification, and articulation of NCF capability requirements, based on operational plans and Navy policy.
• Gather, analyze, and evaluate NCF capability gaps to communicate risk and impact to operations.
• Conduct market research both online and in the field to discover technologies which would enhance any of the five STOs as discussed under 1.0. Review Commercial off the Shelf (COTS) products which demonstrate potential to fill in military construction capability gaps. This task occurs daily.
• Review and analyze Office of the Chief of Naval Operations (OPNAV) and Navy Expeditionary Combat Command (NECC) integrated priority lists (IPLs), STOs, and war fighter’s needs to understand what technologies are in use at NCF/EXWC to avoid duplications in the contractors’ technology research. This task occurs daily.
• Create and maintain a portfolio of technologies researched to ensure future duplications are avoided. Any TTP lessons learned during testing shall also be recorded. This shall be a live portfolio available to the Contracting Officer Representative (COR) upon request. This task occurs daily.
• Generate and maintain spreadsheets and/or databases to document and organize technology discovered that would be potentially beneficial to the NCF.
• Support EXWC and NCF with field testing activities of materiel solutions in accordance with test plans and filed reports provided under 3.1.5. Coordinate with industry to schedule technology testing for the government.
• Contractor shall coordinate all efforts for NCG-1/NCG-2 with regards to technology insertion and liaison support between EXWC and roughly ten other units for RDT&E projects.
• Provide updates for NECC technology reviews, EXWIP and POM document updates, and EXWC meeting notes. This task is performed up to three times per week.
• Coordinate with NECC/NECCPAC and NCG-1/NCG-2 staff in development and assessment of TOA for NCF units. Participate in working groups and TOA reviews to update and align allowances of equipment, supplies, and facilities.
• Compile input from NCG-1/NCG-2 departments and subordinate units to provide comprehensive analysis and recommendations regarding the acquisition, delivery, and NCF integration of new capabilities.
• Coordinate with Subject Matter Experts (SME) to participate in working groups and provide NCF considerations for JCIDS documentation, including Top Level Requirements (TLR), Initial Capabilities Document (ICD), and Analysis of Alternatives (AoA).
• Communicate results and contractor recommendations verbally and in writing to higher organizations at meetings (at least 3x week), conference calls (at least daily), and site visits (up to six times a year).
• Regularly attend, take notes, collect data and collaborate with the government during technology reviews and meetings.
• Support Technical Writer in development of CDD/DCR according to the JCIDS Manual.
• Utilize research and analysis documentation generated under all tasks above to assist the in the preparation and submission of the EXWIP and POM requirements. Research is summarized in a single live slide for EXWIP POMs and delivered the COR in writing which is prepared over a 3-month period once per year.
• Assist NCG in preparing NCF input to NECC, System Command, and Resource Sponsor counterparts throughout the Planning, Programming, Budgeting, and Execution (PPBE) process.
