Catholic Religious Education Coordinator

This solicitation, numbered FA560626QA037, is a Request for Quote for Catholic Religious Education Coordinator services to be performed at Spangdahlem Air Base, Germany, under the Department of Defense. The requirement, governed by Attachment 1—Performance Work Statement, calls for a contractor to oversee a comprehensive Catholic religious education and sacramental formation program for the base community, including curriculum delivery, event planning, record keeping, communications, and facility management in alignment with Archdiocese for the Military Services guidelines and Department of the Air Force instructions. The position demands personnel to be certified AMS Catechists or obtain certification within six months of award, and all contractor personnel must undergo favorable background checks and obtain proper installation access badges, with strict compliance required for Controlled Unclassified Information handling, cybersecurity standards (NIST SP 800-171), and DoD installation safety regulations. The contract is structured as a firm-fixed-price award with a base year beginning August 1, 2026, and four optional years, for a maximum total duration of five years, and will be awarded using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) process where both technical capability and price serve as pass/fail gates; failure to meet acceptable standards in either eliminates eligibility. The solicitation incorporates critical clauses including Wide Area Workflow payment instructions, overseas assignment of claims, NIST SP 800-171 compliance, prohibition on covered defense telecommunications equipment, tax relief under Alternate I, and OMBUDSMAN provisions. The offeror response deadline has been amended to July 17, 2026, at 1600 CEST, following an initial date of July 15, 2026, with questions due by July 6, 2026, at the same time, and a Questions and Answers document will be posted as Attachment 2. Quotes must be submitted via the System for Award Management and remain valid through August 31, 2026, while the contractor must maintain active SAM registration and affirm all required representations and certifications, including those related to business ethics, prohibited entities, and geopolitical sourcing restrictions. Invoicing is mandatory through WAWF within the first ten days of each month for services rendered the prior month, with payment processed by DFAS within 30 calendar days; invoices must separately list gross price, tax deductions, and net amount as permitted by the tax relief clause.
