6th Contracting Squadron, MacDill Air Force Base has a requirement for SENTURION ALPHA Software, Training, and Telephone Support/Consultation in support of United States Central Command.  The North American Industry Classification Systems (NAICS) Code proposed is 513210.  The size standard for NAICS is $47,000,000.00

The United States Central Command/CCJ8 has a requirement for Software Training, and Telephone Support Consultation on a predictive strategy and political model that analyzes the behavioral dynamics within local, domestic, and international contexts and predicts how policy positions or actions of competing interests will evolve over time. The underlying methodology relies on agent-based modeling.

Salient Characteristics:

The software is unique because it combines utility theory, game theory, medium voter theory, and risk analysis into one simulation software through simple inputs. The Senturion software is the only platform with the capabilities and functions required for conducting rigorous modeling and simulation of crisis scenarios. The software anticipates how conflicts will evolve in the future, thereby developing pathways to preventing or minimizing conflict. The software simulates complex negotiations, accurately estimates how crises evolve over time, identifies simulated opportunities, generates network analysis, and tests for statistical/empirical validity of predicted outcomes. The software contains the unique capability required for accurate and reliable modeling of complex negotiations and crises scenarios under a conflict setting. In addition, the Software provides simulations of performance of the subject stakeholder under various scenarios, creates additional understanding of the processes at work, forecasts decision outcomes, predict behavior of group members under varying conditions, and test the consequences of information activities on subject populations. The software is a predictive, agent based modeling technology that provides a detail forecast of stakeholder behavior in complex political-military problems; Prescriptive messaging, policy and tactical advice on how to share the political-military landscape in complex problem.
