The U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command (AMCOM) Expedited Professional and Engineering Support Services’ (EXPRESS) Program allows Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) holders to compete to provide high-quality, cost-effective services to AMCOM.
The AMCOM EXPRESS Program’s open season, which is anticipated to begin approximately October 12, 2009, provides BPA holders the opportunity to reorganize their existing teams by adding or removing members, or by changing a teammate’s status. As a BPA holder in the Logistics Domain, LogiCore is looking for companies to increase the Team’s capabilities in any of the Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) elements and AMCOM Supported Systems.
If you are interested in joining Team LogiCore, please visit http://www.logicorehsv.com/amcom/part/ to submit your company information and capabilities by October 19, 2009. LogiCore will provide additional information about Open Season as it becomes available.

Maintaining the Air Force Tactical Automated Security System (TASS)
In order to protect critical areas such as fixed site air bases, semi-permanent Forward Operating Bases (FOBs), and mobile tactical deployments, the U.S. Air Force (USAF) needs to be able to sense intruders and to assess situations. To provide this force protection capability, USAF currently employs a base personnel intrusion detection and surveillance system called the Tactical Automated Security System (TASS) at its CONUS and overseas bases.
When the U.S. Army developed its Counter-Rocket, Artillery and Mortar (C-RAM) Program to counter insurgent threats in Iraq, it leveraged the USAF TASS capabilities. The C-RAM PMO consulted with the USAF Program Manager on TASS functionality, and refined its capability as part of C-RAM’s System of Systems (SoS) to provide a core Integrated Base Defense System of Systems (IBDSoS) capability at selected FOBs in Iraq.
LogiCore Corporation, a systems engineering and technical assistance (SETA) contractor, provides TASS Contractor Logistics Support (CLS) to C-RAM’s PMO Logistics Management Division (LMD). For example, Mr. Will Palfrey, a retired USAF Logistics Plans and Programs Officer, is the TASS Product Manager. He currently manages several line items of equipment worth hundreds of millions of dollars. He is responsible for supervising the TASS supply chain, providing vital theater wartime equipment that protects Soldiers in wartime.
LogiCore experts provide system reliability and maintainability solutions in managing the entire supply chain and maintain end-to-end visibility including obsolescence management. LogiCore has provided effective and efficient supply chain management and CLS for the last three years resulting in providing the Warfighter with high-performing combat capabilities on time and within contracted cost.
“Our goal is to optimize material requirements, spares, inventory, on-demand parts, and business processes and pursue continuous process improvements to increase Warfighter readiness,” said Palfrey. The actions are increasing readiness for the C-RAM PMO as the SoS has achieved greater than 95 percent operational readiness in a wartime environment that has provided almost 2,000 localized warnings of incoming attacks.

The Women’s Business Center of North Alabama (WBCNA) assists women and men in starting and growing their businesses by serving as a focal point for information and access to resources, facilitating personal development, and providing a formal mentoring process.
