The Naval War College in Newport, RI plans to issue a modification to contract N00124-09-P-0259 to add an additional class comprising 35 seminar meetings. These seminars are part of a non-resident evening course program conducted across various locations in the United States, mirroring the in-residence courses offered at Newport. The curriculum and teaching materials are prepared and delivered by the Continuing Distance Education resident faculty, who also manage administrative expenses. The contract performance period spans from August 7, 2009, to June 4, 2010. This contract modification is awarded on a sole source basis under the Federal Acquisition Regulation provision FAR 6.302-1, following posting in accordance with FAR 5.101. The vendor selected, J. Sussilleaux, is uniquely qualified due to a combination of military service, education, expertise in Joint Maritime Operations curricula, and knowledge of National Security and Strategic Studies, making him the only available candidate in the San Diego area capable of conducting this fleet seminar program. Although the contract is awarded directly, all responsible sources are invited to submit quotations for consideration by the agency.
