On behalf of the Office of the Secretary of the Army, the Defense Supply Service-Washington (DSS-W) intends to issue a Solicitation (Request for Proposals (RFP)) under Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) PART 12 -- Acquisition of Commercial Items on 08 September 2000. The objective of the Army University Access Online (AUAO) program initiative is to provide soldiers with easy access to courses leading to post-secondary degrees and vocational technical certifications via online education. The educational support for the soldiers must be continuous and seamless throughout their enrollment in the program, including transfer to another base or during deployment. Maximum applicable credit for military training, technical experience, and college level testing is desired from participating institutions to facilitate successful completion of degrees and certificates. This program is intended as an Army-wide initiative, to be funded by the Army and will be implemented using a phased approach. In the first phase (base year of the contract), the Army will implement the program at two Army Installations within Continental United States (CONUS) which will be specified in the Solicitation. The Government intends to add additional installations worldwide in subsequent phases during the life of the contract. A pre-proposal conference will be held on 22 September 2000, at a location still to be determined. The Formal Solicitation will be made electronically available to all potential Offerors and other interested parties at the Defense Supply Service-Washington homepage. All interested parties that have registered to receive the Draft Solicitation will be provided a copy of the Formal Solicitation when issued; current registrants do not need to re-register to access the Formal Solicitation.***** Posted 08/28/00 (W-SN490888).
