GSA Professional Engineering Services Schedule

Using the Areté GSA Professional Engineering Services (PES) Schedule, government customers quickly obtain access to Areté’s highly qualified science and engineering professionals. Areté offers four special interest areas that include expertise in strategic planning for technology programs and activities; system design, engineering, and integration; test and evaluation; and integrated logistics support.

Concept Development and Requirements Analysis (SIN 871-2, 871-2RC)

Conduct concept studies that evaluate technical approaches and associated costs of general performance specifications for a system, project, mission, or activity. Tasks include:

• Strategy modeling and gaming
• Assessment of future technologies
• Requirements analysis
• Cost and cost-performance trade-off analysis
• Feasibility analysis
• Technology conceptual design
• 
  

System Design, Engineering, and Integration (SIN 871-3, 871-3RC)

Translate system concepts into detailed engineering plans and integrate the plans into a working model. Tasks include:

• Computer-aided design requirements analysis
• Design studies and analysis
• Data analysis and Physics-Based Modeling
• Technical tradeoff evaluations and optimization
• High-level, detailed specification preparation
• 
  

Test and Evaluation (SIN 871-4, 871-4RC)

Apply various techniques to demonstrate that the test model performs to the original design specifications. Tasks include:

• Prototype and first article testing
• Environmental testing and independent verification and validation
• Reverse engineering, simulation, and modeling
• System safety and quality assurance
• Reliability modeling and evaluation
• 
  

Integrated Logistics Support (SIN 871-5, 871-5RC)

Plan and detail the design of all logistics support (e.g., material goods, personnel, operational maintenance, and repair) of the system or project. Tasks include:

• Feasibility analysis
• Logistics planning
• Requirements determination
• Policy standards and procedures development
• Long-term maintainability and reliability
