99--Reserve Engineering Duty Officer training

The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) plans to award a sole source contract to Calhoon MEBA Engineering School of Easton, Maryland, to provide specialized Reserve Component Direct Commission Engineering Duty Officer (EDO) training. The training course, lasting two weeks, will cover critical areas such as Radio Communications, Shipboard Firefighting, M9 qualification, and Shipboard damage control, ensuring Reserve EDOs receive comprehensive instruction tailored to their operational needs. Calhoon MEBA is uniquely positioned to deliver this training within the required two-week timeframe while adhering to pay and per diem cost constraints, as it is the only military training program capable of meeting these specific requirements efficiently. Calhoon MEBA Engineering School specializes in developing custom training programs for military components and already possesses the necessary staff and facilities to support the Navy’s requirements during the designated period. This sole source procurement is justified under FAR 6.302-1, emphasizing the exclusivity of Calhoon MEBA’s capability to provide this essential training. The solicitation, identified as N0002413T0014, was posted in May 2013, reflecting NAVSEA’s intent to secure timely, effective training solutions for Reserve EDO personnel critical to naval operations.
