This contract pertains to the design and delivery of graduate-level executive leadership education programs and supporting services for senior leaders within the Department of the Navy, specifically under the Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Manpower and Reserve Affairs Executive Program Management Office. It is a firm-fixed-price contract procured through full and open competition under FAR Part 12 procedures, with an emphasis on best value tradeoff methods that consider price, performance approach, past performance, and socioeconomic plans. The solicitation is a combined presolicitation notice and request for quotes, and it is the only solicitation document issued, available electronically on SAM.gov. Quotes must be submitted by May 8, 2026, and should demonstrate the quoter’s ability to meet all technical requirements and delivery timelines. Vendors must be registered in the SAM database to be eligible. Evaluation of quotes will prioritize non-price factors—Performance Approach, Past Performance, and Socioeconomic Plan—with non-price quotes considered more important than price. Performance Approach and Past Performance hold equal weight and are significantly more critical than the Socioeconomic Plan. Failure to meet acceptable ratings in these areas will disqualify a quote from further consideration. The contract will be awarded to the responsible quoter offering the best overall value to the Government, which may not necessarily be the lowest priced. The resulting contract follows the NAICS code 611310, related to colleges, universities, and professional schools, with a small business size standard of $34.5 million. Previously, similar services were provided under a task order by the University of North Carolina's Kenan Flagler Business School until September 2025. Questions can be directed to the designated contracting officer, Shanna Harris.

NOTE TO QUOTERS:
This solicitation is a Request for Quotes (RFQ). To the extent that the terms appear in the solicitation, the terms RFP, OFFER, PROPOSAL, and OFFEROR shall mean RFQ, SUBMISSION, QUOTE, and QUOTER, respectively.



POINT OF CONTACT:
The point of contact at the contracting office is Ms. Shanna Harris, who may be reached via email at shanna.c.harris.civ@us.navy.mil



PREPARATION COSTS:
This RFQ does not commit the Government to pay for the preparation and submission of a quote.



FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION:


The proposed acquisition is being solicited as full and open competition using FAR Part 12 procedures. The proposed acquisition will result in a purchase order contract on a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) basis. Questions regarding this solicitation shall be submitted to Shanna Harris at shanna.c.harris.civ@us.navy.mil no later than Wednesday April 29, 2026, at 10:00am EST. Quotes shall be submitted to Shanna Harris at shanna.c.harris.civ@us.navy.mil and Sean Bennett at sean.m.bennett22.civ@us.navy.mil no later than Friday May 8, 2026, at 10:00am EST. Quote submissions received after the stated submission deadline will not be considered for award. All responsible business sources may submit a quote, which shall be considered by the agency. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice. Streamlined procedures in FAR Part 12 are applicable to this procurement. While price will be a significant factor in the evaluation of quotes, the final contract award will be based on a combination of factors- price, performance approach, past performance, and socioeconomic plan.



System for Award Management (SAM). Quoters must be registered in the SAM database to be considered for award. Registration is free and can be completed on-line at http://www.sam.gov/.



All quotes shall include price(s) showing any and all materials, travel, and labor, name, phone number and email address of a point of contact, business size, and payment terms. The quote shall explicitly confirm that the quoter can meet all of the technical
requirements and provide all of the deliverables for the periods of performance specified herein. Each response must clearly indicate the capability of the quoter to meet all specifications and requirements.



The Government intends to award a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Purchase Order contract to the responsible quoter whose quote represents the best value after evaluation in accordance with the factors in the solicitation. The Government intends to evaluate quotes and award a contract based on initial submissions. Accordingly, the quoter should submit its most favorable terms from a performance approach, past performance, socioeconomic, and price standpoint. The Government reserves the right to award a contract to other than the lowest priced quoter or other than the highest technically rated quoter; award a contract without discussions; or award a contract after discussions, whichever is in the best interest of the Government.



Quoters shall be required to submit a non-price quote that will be evaluated in accordance with solicitation procedures as set forth in this solicitation. The non-price quote will be more important than price. The nonprice quote will consist of the following factors: Performance Approach, Past Performance, and Socioeconomic Plan.



For the non-price evaluation, Performance Approach and Past Performance are of equal importance. Performance Approach and Past Performance are each considered significantly more important than Socio-Economic Plan. A rating of LESS than Acceptable for the Performance Approach and/or the Socio-Economic Plan means the quote is ineligible for award, and the quote will not be further evaluated. This requirement will be awarded as a single Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) contract. A pricing spreadsheet is included in the solicitation attachments for informational purposes only to assist with quote preparation; this is not a Level of Effort (LOE) requirement. All quotation instructions are contained within the RFQ document.
