TECHNICAL SERVICES FOR The U.S. Army Materiel Command Acquisition Center, Natick Contracting Division, Natick, MA, on behalf of the United States Marine Corps, intends to negotiate with and award a sole source purchase order to William Tagye of Woodbridge Virginia for twelve (12) months of specific unique support services related to fielding plan preparation and new equipment and integration training of the Modular Lightweight Load Carrying Equipment (MOLLE), Family of Body Armor (FBA) and Interceptor Body Armor for various Marine Corp units throughout the Fleet Marine Force. The scope of work is the planning, development and execution of of New Equipment Training (NET) and NET training plans, focused on the application of precision logistic practices/processes as they relate to NET and fielding, as well as materiel support and life cycle management of combat support logistic equipment and systems. Specifically covered under this effort is the on-site training and implementation of plans relative to MOLLE, FBA and Interceptor Body Armor. This effort necessitates contracting with a uniquely qualified individual for the following reasons: Individual must be available at a moments notice to travel to any location around the world and must be flexible to allow for last minute changes in travel plans. The Marine Corp requirement must be initiated in November -- December 1999 timeframe and requires unique familiarity with Marine Corp training approaches, personnel/Rank and Bases worldwide. Further, the equipment for which the training is envisioned is not otherwise available to contractors and therefore only a contractor who is a former Marine (recently disembarked) would have the understanding of the Marine Corp and their small unit training doctrine at a level that would allow for successful performance of this effort. In addition, the requirement requires direct knowledge of small to large unit fighting environments in which the new equipment is to be used. Offerors who content that they can meet this very unique requirement, must submit documentation, to include resume, discharge papers and references, that thoroughly and convincingly demonstrates that they can perform this effort. Information must be received no later than November, 1999. Submit all information to U.S. Army Materiel Command Acquisition Center, Natick Contracting Division.
