TIAX's Professional Engineering Services (PES), General Services Administration (GSA), Federal Supply Services contract enables all Federal Government agencies, the United States Postal Service, and the city government of Washington, D.C. to obtain our services in the six areas described below. Eligible agencies, through their own contracting offices, can use this GSA-sponsored Federal Supply Schedule to shorten the procurement process.
This Schedule covers services under the six Special Item Numbers SINS):
- Strategic Planning for Technology(SIN 871-1)
- Concept Development & Requirement Analysis (SIN 871-2)
- Systems Design, Engineering & Integration (SIN 871-3)
- Test & Evaluation (SIN 871-4)
- Integrated Logistics (SIN 871-5)
- Acquisition & Lifecycle Management (SIN 871-6)
Strategic
Planning
for Technology
(SIN 871-1)
TIAX is
a thought
leader in
the management
of technology
and innovation.
We help
our clients
develop
and set
clear technology
objectives,
ensuring
that they
fit with
and support
the overall
strategy
of the organization.
We apply
technology-scanning
techniques
to identify
the technologies
likely to
meet your
objectives.
We apply
technology
portfolio
tools to
prioritize
your technology
investments,
considering
impact on
stakeholder
needs, maturity,
and resource
requirements.
Finally
we develop
practical
roadmaps
and action
plans for
implementation
and realization
of your
objectives.
Concept
Development
& Requirement
Analysis
(SIN 871-2)
TIAX applies
a proven,
codified
process
to establish
requirements
for products,
systems,
and processes.
Requirements
are derived
from stakeholder
surveys
and rigorous
trade-off
analyses.
Brainstorming,
ideation,
and several
proprietary
processes,
combined
with broad
understanding
of engineering
and science,
result in
candidate
concepts
for meeting
those requirements.
Systems
Design,
Engineering
& Integration
(SIN 871-3)
Using our
codified
and ISO
9001-registered
product
development
process
(PDP), we
transition
concepts
into products,
processes,
and systems.
Our PDP
is
consistent
with the
Integrated
Product
Team
process
used by
many government
agencies.
All stakeholders
are involved
to ensure
that the
results
of any development
effort not
only meet
immediate
functional
needs, but
also integrate
into existing
operational
systems.
Consistent
with the
IPT process,
critical
elements
are identified
and feasibility
demonstrated
as key risk-reduction
steps. Prototyping,
simulation,
and modeling
are important
tools used
in the process.
Test
& Evaluation
(SIN 871-4)
We
test
and evaluate
products,
processes,
and systems
developed
by TIAX
in our approximately
40,000 square
feet of
laboratories,
at independent
laboratories,
and at government
installations.
We are highly
experienced
in developing
and implementing
test plans
based on
statistical
design of
experiments
and involving
human subjects.
We also
understand
the importance
of providing
engineering
support
throughout
field tests
to ensure
efficiency
by minimizing
downtime.
Integrated
Logistics
(SIN 871-5)
TIAX's strengths
in logistics
are focused
on certain
product
and systems
areas. These
include
ergonomic/human
performance
analysis,
training,
feasibility
analysis,
and policy
standards/procedures
development
related
to purchasing
and acquisition
processes.
Outside
of these
areas,
we utilize
the services
of organizations
that specialize
in logistics.
We select
firms that
are highly
knowledgeable
of the particular
product
or systems
area, as
well as
of the particular
agency.
We find
this teaming
approach
provides
the government
with the
best value.
Acquisition
& Lifecycle
Management
(SIN 871-6)
TIAX's strengths
in acquisition
& lifecycle
management
are concentrated
in process
and systems
management
development.
These include
program/project
management;
acquisition
process
assessment,
modification
and training;
technology
transfer/insertion;
and reliability
analysis.
Outside
of these
areas,
we utilize
the services
of organizations
that specialize
in acquisition
& lifecycle.
We select
firms that
are highly
knowledgeable
of the particular
product
or systems
area as
