What specific management consulting services were provided, and how did they contribute to the mission of White Sands Missile Range?
The provided data categorizes the service as 'Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services' (NAICS 541611). While the exact deliverables are not detailed, these services generally aim to improve efficiency, organization, and strategic planning within an agency. For White Sands Missile Range, this could encompass areas like logistical support optimization, process improvement, or strategic resource allocation to enhance operational effectiveness.

The contract value is $10,446,850.40 over a period of approximately 40 months (from June 2005 to October 2008). Without knowing the number of personnel or hours worked, a precise per-unit cost is impossible to calculate.
