The Marine Corps Tactical Systems Support Activity (MCTSSA) is a subordinate command of the Marine Corps Systems Command (MARCORSYSCOM), providing test, engineering, and diverse technical support to MARCORSYSCOM and the Operating Forces. Under the direction of Systems Engineering and Acquisition Logistics (SEAL), MCTSSA provides this support to the Commander, MARCORSYSCOM, and Portfolio Managers (PfMs) in their mission to acquire and sustain Marine Air-Ground Task Force (MAGTF) Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence (C4I) capabilities for the Marine Corps as part of the engineering, technical, and Test and Evaluation (T&E) environment.

MCTSSA has a recurring demand for technical support services in engineering, technical studies and analysis, architecture development, mission thread development, science and technology, test planning activities, test execution, posttest analysis, and test reporting. Technical support services are generally required in areas relating to engineering, T&E of MAGTF systems and Systems of Systems (SoS), and the net-centric performance of MAGTF systems in various SoS implementations; to include integration into the Marine Corps Enterprise Network (MCEN) and MCEN Planning Yard (MPY) efforts. Support areas are listed below:

• MCTSSA focus areas support: strategic thrust areas, designated to grow and extend beyond current technical abilities and to provide improvements to existing capabilities. Test Support includes participation and providing support during test execution thus adhere to the test plans, test procedures, individual test scripts, and ensure deviations are documented for inclusion in the posttest report. The focus areas may include, but are not limited to: MAGTF Naval Integration, Cloud Computing and Wireless, Cyber, MPY.
• Science and Technology Engineering: MCTSSA frequently supports special technical events, such as those lead by the Office of Naval Research (ONR).
• Architecture development and analysis: architecture development and analysis products to support overall engineering and technical support services.
• MPY Activities: provide MPY engineering services that incorporate virtualization support to ensure secure and reliable networks and services.
• Requirements Development: develop engineering, technical, or test requirements, depending on the particular event, project, or working group.
• T&E Support: provide T&E support and participate in the planning and execution of test activities in support of the MAGTF C4I System of Systems Testing (SoST) or any other technical support.
• Document Reviews: review, analyze, and provide written comments for technical documentation (e.g., technical studies, system performance and requirement specifications, interface and design documents, version description documents, system manuals, engineering and interface change proposals).
