Intermediate Instructor for Management of Test and Evaluation for Technical Authorities

The Department of National Defence is seeking a qualified intermediate-level instructor to deliver a course on the Management of Test and Evaluation for Technical Authorities under a five-year contract with an estimated total effort of 265 days, equivalent to approximately 53 days per year. The solicitation, issued under W6369-26-PSSC-112, requires bidders to provide technical and financial proposals structured into four distinct volumes: technical, financial, certifications, and additional information. Proposals must demonstrate proven experience in testing and evaluation processes, including developing and executing T&E events and tasking Test and Evaluation Units, as well as a minimum of three years of direct T&E experience and the delivery of adult training courses lasting at least six hours using three distinct adult education techniques. Mandatory certifications include CATI QualN and another from a recognized instructor association. All proposed personnel must be fluent in both English and French and hold, or be able to obtain, Reliability Status security clearances, with the organization required to maintain an active security clearance under the Contract Security Program. The work will be performed primarily in the National Capital Region, with potential delivery in-person or remotely via MS Teams, but must not occur in areas covered by Comprehensive Land Claims Agreements. Evaluation is based on a lowest price per point model, with technical factors each worth ten points for a total of forty points, and award will go to the responsive bidder offering the lowest cost per technical point. Pricing is structured on a fixed per diem basis, with costs to be submitted in a separate financial volume, and all delivery costs, duties, and taxes are to be borne by the vendor under DDP terms. Security requirements are stringent: the organization must appoint a Company Security Officer, submit security documentation, report any changes in personnel clearance status or ownership, and ensure all individuals with access to protected information are cleared and properly briefed. The contract includes mandatory certifications to prevent conflicts of interest, ensure independent bid determination, and confirm that key personnel are not over-allocated across multiple contracts. Deliverables are tied to authorized task authorizations, with payment based on actual time worked at agreed per diem rates, and inspections may occur at the contractor’s facilities to verify compliance with security and operational standards. The contract period begins April 1, 2023, and ends March 31, 2024, with no option periods identified in the documentation, and submission deadline for proposals is February 13, 2026, at 2:00
