This solicitation is potentially a small business set aside. The SIC Code for this solicitation is 611210 with a size standard of $5.0M. Chief Naval Education and Training (CNET), Training Assessment Division, has tasked the Naval Air Warfare Center Training systems Division (NAWCTSD) to provide local alternative training sources for Outboard Motor Overhaul training to Navy and other military personnel in both the Pearl Harbor, HI, Fleet Concentration Area (FCA) and Ingleside, TX, FCA. This effort will be accomplished under the provisions of a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) with qualified vendors/schools capable of providing the required instruction. The Navy Outboard Motor Overhaul training course, Course Identification Number (CIN)K-652-0237, is the primary training to be provided under this BPA. The product to be purchased under this BPA is a proficiently trained student, meeting the performance and course completion standards as determined by the Local Training Authority (LTA). The training provided by the Contractor will encompass the course scope and learning objectives identified in Attachment A. The Contractor may tailor Government Furnished Courses (GFC) to accommodate its instructional methods and strategies to provide the most efficient training program to Navy. The LTA will provide the BPA Holder with the initial Government Furnished Information (GFI) consisting of the Standard Processes for Homeport Training and course curriculum including the lesson outlines, instructor guides, student guides, publications, student handouts, and course tests. The BPA Holder shall provide the personnel, supervision, management, training equipment and systems (as required), materials, and instructional technology needed to conduct training of Navy personnel. Class length is 10 days, eight-hours/day, Monday through Friday, excluding Government holidays. The throughput for Pearl Harbor is estimated at five convenings per year with approximately 10 students per class. Government facilities and equipment are available for use by the BPA Holder. The throughput for Ingleside is estimated at two convenings per year with approximately 12 students per class. The only Government facilities available at Ingleside are a classroom and large covered outside area with water available. If the BPA Holder provides the training facilities, they shall be within a sixty-minutes drive from the LTA Ingleside LTA Office, and shall be of adequate size/space to conduct the training and shall have acceptable environmental conditions (heat/air) normally found in an academic setting, utilities, and support to ensure undistracted and productive training.
