The Defense Supply Service-Washington (DSS-W) intends to acquire support services to assist Army Continuing Education System (ACES) professionals in the delivery of adult education services at sites throughout the world. Services may potentially be ordered for any location containing concentrations of Active or Reserve Army personnel. Service functions include Reception and Administration, Counseling Support, Facilities Administration, Automation and Technology, Test Examiner, Test Proctor, Multi-Use Learning Facility (MLF) Instruction, MLF Support, Counseling, and Educational Programming Services. The government currently projects ordering an estimated 430 thousand hours of services at over 94 major locations throughout the United States, Korea, and certain Pacific Islands. Potentially, services could also be ordered for locations in Europe or other locations outside of the Continental U.S. during the life of the contract. The Government anticipates that the hours of usage and number of sites will grow over the life of the Contract. This anticipation of growth will be most influenced by the competitiveness of prices under this contract in relation to existing or previous smaller contracts at installations. The Government intends to award a single award firm fixed price, loaded labor-hour contract for a one-year base period and four one-year option periods. Award will be made to the offeror whose proposal offers the best value to the Government. Emphasis upon teaming and subcontracting, to include an adequate subcontracting plan as a proposal evaluation factor, is strongly encouraged.
