MCLEAN, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
The U.S. armed forces are constantly evolving to meet complex and varied
engagement demands around the world. To support this need for agility
and enhance the Marine Corps' decision-making processes in critical
areas such as operations planning and personnel readiness, Headquarters,
U.S. Marine Corps (HQMC) has awarded Booz Allen Hamilton a $48.6 million
contract for technical, managerial and quantitative and qualitative
analytical support. Booz Allen will support HQMC's Program Analysis and
Evaluation (PA&E) Division, which was tasked in 2015 by the Marine Corps
Commandant with serving as the independent evaluator for all major
resourcing decisions in the Marine Corps.
"The Commandant of the Marine Corps, Deputy Commandant for Programs &
Resources and other Marine Corps senior leaders rely on independent and
objective analysis to maintain force strength and readiness," said
Stephen Soules, an executive vice president who is responsible for Booz
Allen Hamilton's Command, Control, Communications, Computers,
Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) services
supporting the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. "Booz Allen's people possess
a set of advanced technical skills and agile experience in program
analysis and evaluation. These skills, coupled with our commitment to
exceptional client delivery, make our firm well equipped to meet HQMC's
needs."
As the prime contractor, Booz Allen will lead a team of six other
businesses in assessing plans, programs and budgets for the Marine
Corps. The firm will support the analysis of issues such as force
structure, manpower, aviation readiness, ground vehicle modernization,
information technology and infrastructure planning. Booz Allen will
combine both traditional management consulting approaches with
innovative data analytics capabilities for this five-year,
cost-plus-fixed-fee (CPFF) contract. Specific services will include cost
analysis, strategic planning, operations research, modeling and
simulations, advanced data science and cloud solutions.
"Booz Allen is known for high-end technical and analytical capabilities
and the ability to bring innovative approaches to complex issues," said
Jennifer Ezring, senior associate at Booz Allen. "We combine this
expertise with a deep understanding of the operational demands and
budget constraints that the Marine Corps and other branches of the U.S.
military have to balance today. Our unique background will allow us to
provide HQMC leaders with the kinds of comprehensive and objective
analyses that ensure available resources are allocated in a way that
guarantees a maximum return on investment and the greatest possible
support for our Marines."
