In sum, CTC’s enhanced/restructured team offers a breadth and depth of experience that can help CCBWG’s plan more effectively, be more productive, improve their processes, reduce costs, and fulfill key requirements. Under our Contractor Team Arrangement, CTC can meet commission needs by quickly providing a total solution that combines the supplies and services from our team members' separate GSA Schedule contracts and other sources. Our team members have worked together successfully on many projects and our personal relationships, in some cases, go back 30 years. Moreover, some of our key personnel are officers in more than one of our team member companies. Our team members have formed this strategic alliance to offer complementary services. Our customers benefit from this arrangement by buying a solution rather than making separate buys from various contractors.

Creative Team Concepts, LLC (CTC) is and has been a well recognized name within the Department of Defense (DoD) basing infrastructure arena, both inside the military establishment and outside in the private sector. CTC’s original mission was focused primarily on supporting the DoD’s infrastructure streamlining processes. In that role, CTC established the mold for others to emulate. Now, CTC has enhanced its abilities to provide services by teaming with other select groups to provide a one-stop shopping for much needed support functions. The enhanced/restructured CTC can now provide complete Commission support from cradle to grave. A brief recap of the original CTC and the enhanced/restructured CTC follows:
When someone mentions CTC, most will recall a group of experts who worked together for many years onOSD and private sector basing infrastructure projects. These CTC professionals worked on; infrastructure streamlining, military base closure, and reuse activities for the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD), Army, Air Force, Navy, and Defense Base Closure Commission. And, in fact, many members and associates were the architects of the development and implementation of base realignment and closure (BRAC) procedures, policies, and guidelines. The BRAC experience of CTC's members and associates was used by many organizations. In fact, CTC members and associates have completed several sole-source contracts with the Office of the Secretary of Defense and have won several other competitive contracts with the Office of the Secretary of Defense. CTC tasks ranged from supporting the efforts to obtain Congressional approval for future BRAC authority to helping develop a BRAC process to help implement the process. These efforts were totally successful, e.g., the Congressional authority for a BRAC in 2005 and the execution of that BRACeffort. Additionally, CTC members have:
CTC’s “Unparalleled Expertise and Experience” cannot be matched:
The enhanced/restructured CTC is a Service-Disabled, Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) that brings together four companies with extensive experience working together in a Contractor Team Arrangement to support Committees, Commissions, Boards and Work Groups (CCBWG). CTC is fully prepared to support requirements with minimal advance notice. CTC can now provide; staff, office equipment,IT and document management solutions, and, perhaps most importantly, managers with experience in working a board range of issues including establishing, operating, and disestablishing CCBWGs.
CTC now has a Contractor Team Arrangement
Under this Contractor Team Arrangement, four GSA Schedule contractors (team members) will work together under the CTC umbrella. Complementing each other's capabilities, CTC offers a total solution to meet a newCCBWG’s requirements. This new arrangement, allows ordering activities to procure a total solution rather than making separate buys for each part of a CCBWG’s requirements. In addition, CTC can provide a much needed repeatable processes in the life of a CCBWG. CTC and its team members recognize the repeatable processes that characterize Commission work and has devised a methodology which not only captures those elements (thereby reducing time and saving costs) but has the expertise to handle virtually all facets of commission work. Some aspects of a repeatable process in the life of a commission follow:
Establishment
Execution
Disestablishment

Key document management solutions include:
Document Capture

Document Management
Qualitas Legal Services provides legal and IT expertise to the CTC team. Qualitas combines this deep domain expertise and applies it to forge creative solutions to document organization and manipulation as it applies to the legal process. Recently, Qualitas created an easily searchable site that had formerly consisted of approximately 1,000,000 pages in more than 50 formats for the Defense Department. The client was facing an avalanche of FOIA and (litigation) discovery requests, causing it to expend enormous manpower to “muscle through” its responses. With the Qualitas solution, the client was able to point to the site in response to those requests, thereby saving thousands of man hours of work and millions of dollars in expense. It was also able to comply with all the requirements of NARA. All this IT and human resource work (checking the documents for accuracy) was successfully concluded in 90 days and within budget. See www.qualitaskm.com for additional information.
