DLA J-6, Program / Project Management Support

This effort started in 1996 in support of the Consumable Item BPI Program and SAMMS. These two support efforts were combined in September 1996 to provide technical and management support to all programs controlled by DLA MM. DLA later closed the Defense Logistics Support Center in Columbus, OH, and reorganized MM into the Defense Logistics Support Command (DLSC), which assumed responsibility for much of what the Support Center did. In 2000, DLSC was deactivated and assets were divided into two directorates, IO and Logistics Operations. Ultra Tech provides support primarily to the IO directorate.

The mission of the various support entities remains virtually the same: to provide world wide logistics support to military customers. IO provides information services, readiness support services, supply support management services, and executive and administrative services. To accomplish these support functions, DLA has designed and uses multiple Automated Information Systems (AIS), some developed by DLA and some are commercial off-the-shelf. As DLA migrates into DII/COE, designated legacy systems will migrate toward standard systems and will comply with DoD Command, Control, Communication, Computers and Intelligence requirements and standards.

Under sequential Task Orders, Ultra Tech provides on-site technical and management support for current and future BPI, AIS, and IRM program requirements and milestones. Technical and management support includes, but is not limited to: preparing command level analyses, reports, and briefings; preparing project management related documents and plans; participating in DLA in-process reviews; participating in project level working meetings; establishing operational procedures for daily operations affecting resource allocation processes; testing systems and performing Independent Validation and Verification, Information Assurance, collecting data and providing documentation for resource allocation processes; participating in formal program presentations; and acquiring, installing, and integrating equipment and supplies in support of DLA initiatives. Specific focus areas include functional and technical assessment of the DLA business cycle; interrelationships among the Inventory Control Points, depots, and vendors; post award contract management; external interface migration; business module analysis using automated modeling tools; and supporting IRM, CM, and AIS plans with research, input, briefings and drafts. Ultra Tech also:

• Reviews and analyzes BPI, AIS, and IRM program-related contracts and delivery orders and tracks DLA contractor and Government project and program performance.
• Uses Gantt and PERT program management tools to track program progress and trends, as well as Microsoft Project software to provide program management reports.
• Researches, captures, and presents collated resource allocation data to support legal, regulatory, and fiduciary expectations for Government reporting and accountability.
• Recommends revisions / updates to AIS documentation, version control, and baselines.
• Performs functional economic analyses for AIS, BPI, and other initiatives, in accordance with the Corporate Information Management Functional Economic Analysis Guidebook.
