Even though a Firm-Fixed Price/Sole Source Contract is anticipated, firms or persons may identify their interest and capability to the Contracting Officer, Ginny Reedenauer, Email: [email protected].
A determination by the Contracting Officer not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this Notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
The College of Distance Education (CDE), Naval War College, has a requirement to conduct six (6) nonresident evening courses as part of the Fleet Seminar Program in the following areas:
Bangor, WA b National Security Affairs
Great Lakes, IL b National Security Affairs
Norfolk, VA b Strategy & War
Washington, DC b Joint Maritime Operations (2)
Washington, DC b National Security Affairs
The courses are essentially the same as taught in residence at Newport, with the CDE resident faculty preparing the course syllabus, procuring teaching materials, and funding administrative expenses.
Because the site of the courses is removed from the Naval War College (NWC) it is necessary to contract individuals who reside in these areas to serve as an instructor and local administrator for the courses. The qualifications for this position are unique in that they require a combination of professional education, naval warfare operational experience, a familiarity with Naval War College missions and functions, and competence in teaching at the graduate level, using the NWC methodology.
PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE: 01 August 2014 - 12 June 2015
PROCEDURES FOR SOLICITATION/AWARD
A written Request for Quotation (RFQ) #N00124-14-T-0403 (Form SF 1449) will be issued in 2-5 business days after this Notice posting.
