Organizational Change Management (OCM) Support for the Joint Transportation Management System (JTMS) Program

TRANSCOM23D019

This announcement constitutes a Sources Sought and is for planning purposes only. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL nor is it to be construed as a commitment by the Government.

USTRANSCOM highly encourages responses from capable businesses of all sizes; large and small business concerns, to include all the socioeconomic categories with OCM experience. USTRANSCOM is hoping to identify sources who can support the JTMS Joint Program Office (JPO) to plan and prepare the Joint Deployment Distribution Enterprise (JDDE) for significant change accompanied with the JTMS contract. The intent of the OCM Support effort is to effectively manage and navigate the significant change expected with the implementation and deployment of the JTMS. Through this contract, USTRANSCOM seeks to minimize the disruption to ongoing operations, enhance readiness and willingness for change, and engage stakeholders at all levels to support cultural transformation.
