The position requires direct coordination with the Catholic Chaplain or Wing Chaplain to oversee all aspects of the congregational and choir music program for Catholic Masses, including selecting and preparing music, leading weekly rehearsals, managing equipment and facility readiness, maintaining an annual music calendar and budget, submitting monthly attendance and event reports, and ensuring all spaces are restored to original condition after use. The work is performance-based and governed by a detailed Performance Work Statement, with all deliverables evaluated under a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) framework, meaning only technically acceptable offers will be considered, and the lowest evaluated price will secure award. The contract is structured as a fixed-price arrangement with a base year running from September 30, 2026, through September 29, 2027, and up to four optional one-year extensions, with pricing evaluated using the total cost of the base year, all four option years, and an additional 50% of the cost of Option Year 4 to account for possible extensions. All offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and must hold a Unique Entity ID, as failure to comply renders them ineligible for award. This acquisition is a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS code 711130, with a size standard of $15 million in average annual receipts. Proposals must be submitted electronically via email by the deadline of July 30, 2026, at 11:00 AM CST, and must include a separately formatted technical submission alongside a completed pricing template. Technical acceptability is determined by strict conformance to the Performance Work Statement and other salient characteristics outlined in Attachment 4, with no allowance for trade-offs or price flexibility if the offer is deemed technically unacceptable. Contractors are subject to stringent background checks per DoDI 1402.5, requiring completion of SF 85 and AF Form 2583 for all personnel seeking unescorted base access, with immediate termination for failures. Additional obligations include adherence to antiterrorism training, safeguarding of covered defense information, compliance with cyber incident reporting requirements, control and accountability of government-issued keys, submission of detailed financial and operational reports, and full responsibility for
