MCSC OSBP TAG LINE MISSION & VISION

“Supporting the Marine Warfighter Utilizing Small Business Capabilities and Technology Solutions”

MCSC OSBP MISSION:

“To support the Commandant’s mission of supporting the warfighter whileensuring that the Command maintains a successful Small Business Programthrough providing opportunities for Small Business Concerns to assist theMarine Corps Systems Command and PEO LS in meeting its warfightingmissions.”

MCSC OSBP VISION:

“The Small Business Program promotes acquisition opportunities wheresmall businesses can best support the needs of our Marines and Sailors.Through policy, advocacy and training, we foster industry innovation,technology development, and the acquisition of quality products, services, and solutions from small business providers. Our vision is to ensure smallbusinesses are the first option in the acquisition planning process.”

Naval / Marine Corps acquisition must do four things to project power at scale:

Ø Deliver lethal capacity focusing on mission output. Evaluating lethal capacity as product of your capacity (how many things you have), your capacity (what each one of those things have) and your availability.

Ø Increase agility/pivot speed from both an acquisition and operational perspective. ASN (RDA) Geurts highlighted the need to decentralize operations (pushing authority down) and differentiating the work.

Ø Driving fundamental costs out of the system. Not simply reducing contract costs by a few percentage points but evaluating the front end and back end for improvement in efficiency.

Ø Develop talent to compete and win. It is a talent game and if you can’t attract talent you’re not going to win.

Tone From The Top

Small businesses are vital to our national security and economy.

Ø U.S. small businesses serve as a catalyst for economic development, provide employment and drive new ideas and innovations.

Ø To nurture their important role in the economy, the U.S. government has established programs and annual small business contracting goals for prime and subcontract dollars.

Ø The intent is to ensure that small business have opportunities to fulfill the public policy objectives of the FAR and to give federal government customers access to a source of innovative products and services.

Ø Provide opportunities for small businesses to compete effectively by maximizing their participation and by enabling them to grow through diversification of the goods and services they provide and expansion into the nongovernmental marketplace.

“Fighting and winning against emerging peer competitors will require a ‘fifth-generation Marine Corps’ capable of competing in technological domains, as well as the traditional air, sea and land kinetic arenas.” - General Robert B. Neller , 37th Commandant of the United States Marine Corps

MAGTF alignment across product lines

“You begin with a deep understanding of the nature of the product you intend to acquire. The form of the program has to follow the function the program will perform: developing and acquiring a specific product. The nature of the product should be the most significant determiner of program structure.”

The Optimal Program Structure Frank Kendall Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics
