System of Systems Architecture and TSPR Contractor Model Conference on the Acquisition of Software-Intensive Systems January 29, 2003 Jonathan D. Addelston (mailto:JDAddelston@alum.mit.edu) UpStart Conf on the ACQ of SW-Intensive 1 Systems Systems
Presentation Goal • Base discussion a recent 10-month study for a key intelligence agency (without attribution) • Identify acquisition issues driving the agency PMOs for mission critical IT systems • Show relationship between System-of-Systems Architecture and TSPR Acquisition Model • How well does the TSPR approach respond to the software-intensive acquisition issues?

TSPR Subcontracts Client Single system delivery TSPR Prime Contract contract supported by Responsibility Trusted Agents TSPR chooses any TSPR TSPR Contract CLIN and subcontract type for Responsibility products and services; Task Allocation may have multiple contracts with some TSPR uses its own providers resources or subcontracts Contract A Contract B Contract C Ax CLINs Ay CLINs Bx CLINs By CLINs Bz CLINs Cy CLINs Cz CLINs and SubKs and SubKs and SubKs and SubKs and SubKs and SubKs and SubKs TSPR may allow any or all of its subcontractors to use one or more System subcontractors of its own to meet its contractual obligations to the TSPR. Delivery Whether or not subcontractors are competitively awarded depends upon Contractor the flexibility provided to the TSPR and its subcontractors by the client. Responsibility UpStart Conf on the ACQ of SW-Intensive 14 Systems Systems
TSPR “End-to-End” • End-to-end responsibility means: – Control of all of the system components from the beginning to the end of any system interaction or transaction – Control of the system engineering life cycle • From the elicitation of detailed requirements through the operation of the deployed system through system retirement • With certain key exceptions, especially at key control points during the integration phase that are not even under client’s control UpStart Conf on the ACQ of SW-Intensive 15 Systems Systems
Acquisition Changes • Long term partnership with dominant prime • Less of technology control • Less of contractor community control • Fewer contract deliverables reviews and approvals (open loop implementation?) • Dependency on TSPR incentives for influence in lieu of control • Complex commitment process for integration with external systems • Non-traditional acquisition, program, and technical management skills still required UpStart Conf on the ACQ of SW-Intensive 16 Systems Systems
