- Description
- The Naval War College has a requirement to facilitate ELOC courses in accordance with the provided statement of work. Under the authority of 10 USC 2304(c) (1) pursuant to FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), the product or services needed by the agency are available from only one responsible source or only from a limited number of responsible sources and no other type of property or services will satisfy the needs of the agency. A determination not to compete this proposed contract is based on market research and is solely within the discretion of the government. As evidenced in the sole source justification provided by the requiring activity there is only one contractor that has the specific qualifications that meet the peculiar requirements of this contract. The ELOC course is tailored for an officer in the rank/pay-grade of Navy Captain/O-6 on the numbered fleet staff to bridge educational gaps between courses offered for the Flag level and those offered to officers in the pay-grades of 0-2 through 0-5. The course is taught at the NWC campus in Newport, RI with students assigned TAD for the week-long ELOC. NWC resident faculty members prepare and coordinate the course syllabus, procure teaching materials, and fund administrative expenses. Because the course attendees are senior 0-6s, it is necessary to contract an individual who can serve as a senior fellow and support faculty for the course. The qualifications for this position are unique in that they require a combination of professional education, operational experience in maritime warfare at senior/executive levels, experience as a numbered Fleet Commander, familiarity with the regional maritime issues, an understanding of Naval War College missions and functions, and competence in teaching at the graduate level. Security Guidance The contractor will have access to information up to the SECRET level. This information is contained primarily in classified briefings that the contractor will attend. In facilitating the course, the contractor may further use this classified information in the ELOC classroom at the Naval War College only. The contractor will turn over any classified notes or working papers to the U.S. Naval War College for proper disposal. Services include delivering course content in the form of lectures, briefings and feedback from a Fleet Commanders perspective on the challenges of running an operational commanders staff in a maritime environment. The Contractor identified is VADM (Ret.) Costello. The NAICS code is 611710 and small business size of $16.5M. A Request for Quote is expected to be released on 15 November 2021 with a response date of 25 November 2021 at 10:00 am (EST). The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition FAC 2021-07 Effective: September 10, 2021. The NAICS code is 611710 and small business size standard is $16,500,000.00. Although this is a sole source requirement all responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency to robert.allcock@usnwc.edu no later than 25 November 2021 at 10:00 am (EST). No phone calls please. If no responses are received by the above referenced date/time, a sole source contract will be awarded no later than 25 November 2021.
