AI Contract Overview

The Naval War College, College of Distance Education, intends to award a sole source contract for the preparation, conduct, and administration of two online Competency Based Education/Influenced (CBE/I) courses in accordance with a specified statement of work. This requirement is justified under FAR 6.302-1 and 10 USC 2304(c)(1), citing the uniqueness of the contractor’s qualifications and the limited availability of responsible sources who can meet the agency’s specific needs. The contractor chosen, Peter T. Underwood, possesses a rare combination of qualifications including graduate-level teaching experience using Naval War College methodologies, professional education in relevant fields, operational experience at appropriate military grades, and familiarity with the Blackboard Learning Management System. The contract spans a base period from February to March 2020 with three additional option periods extending through September 2020. The solicitation, associated with NAICS code 611310, follows the small business size standard of $27.5 million and will be released for quotes on December 11, 2019, with a response deadline of December 20, 2019. Although a sole source contract is planned, the agency invites all capable sources to submit capability statements or proposals for consideration. If no competitive submissions are received by the deadline, the sole source award will proceed by January 6, 2020. The contract adheres to provisions and clauses effective as of October 26, 2018, and the Navy’s market research supports this non-competitive approach given the specialized nature of the services required.
