Doing business with Joint Forces Command
Today’s
security challenges demand an integrated military, able
to streamline warfighting functions,
communicate faster
with fewer resources and less risk.
USJFCOM,
charged with pulling our nation’s military forces
together, seeks to partner with industry and other interested
organizations to encourage and enhance this transformation.
The goal is to foster a rapid transition
of innovative science and technology from the laboratory
to the field.
As
USJFCOM identifies issues impacting the ability to perform
joint missions, we intend to communicate these
issues to
key members of industry, research communities, academia and
laboratories.
This
will enable industry and other interested communities to
focus on our real and current needs thereby
maximizing research and development efforts.
Communicating
with industry benefits both the command and individual organizations.
As industry’s pioneers in
science and technology focus on specified joint capabilities,
the U.S. warfighter benefits from an overall acceleration
in the process.
This
combined effort could result in significant joint warfighting
breakthroughs.
How to become involved
The command regularly advertises opportunities in various
publications like FEDBIZOPS and holds a variety of
industry information exchange opportunities.
These
opportunities include USJFCOM-unique items like:
• Industry symposiums
• Focused forums
• Technology information exchanges
and
standard vehicles you may be more familiar with like
• Capabilities
presentations
• Requests
for information
• Requests for proposals and
• Unsolicited proposals
and
non-standard non-FAR (Federal Acquisition Regulation)
vehicles like
• Cooperative
Research and Development Agreements (CRADAs, 15 USC 3710a)
• Grants and Other Types of Cooperative Agreements
(15 USC 3705)
• Technical Innovation Agreements (TIAs, 10
USC 2371)
