AI Contract Overview
The U.S. Government, through the W6QM MICC-Ft Leonard Wood office of the Department of Defense, is conducting market research via a sources sought notice for a Catholic Parish Coordinator contract to be set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5. This notice, issued on June 23, 2026, with a response deadline of July 7, 2026, seeks information from small businesses—including those certified as 8(a), SDB, HUBZone, SDVOSB, or WOSB—to determine if sufficient competition exists to justify a small business set-aside. The requirement, classified under NAICS code 813110 with a size standard of $13.0 million, involves providing non-personal administrative and coordinative services to support Catholic chaplaincy operations at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. Key responsibilities include maintaining the parish calendar, producing bulletins and public announcements, managing sacramental records, coordinating liturgical events, and ensuring compliance with Army and Archdiocese for the Military Services policies. The contractor must be a practicing Catholic in full communion with the Church and possess Basic Catechist certification or equivalent theological training. Respondents must provide firm details, small business status, past performance on similar tasks, subcontracting or teaming intentions, and recommendations to enhance small business competition, but no pricing or proposals are solicited. Special requirements include mandatory completion of AT Level I, OPSEC, and iWATCH training within specified timeframes after award, submission of a Quality Control Plan, adherence to strict security and identification protocols, and maintenance of Government-owned deliverables under unlimited rights. All personnel must pass background checks, wear identifying badges, avoid misrepresentation as Government personnel, and comply with key control and OPSEC procedures. Performance metrics require a 95% compliance rate for quarterly reporting, with non-compliance triggering corrective action and potential CPAR documentation. The anticipated place of performance is Fort Leonard Wood, MO, and future solicitations, if issued, will be posted on SAM.gov; however, this notice does not constitute a commitment to issue a solicitation or award a contract.
