AI Contract Overview

The Naval War College intends to award a sole source contract to facilitate ELOC courses tailored specifically for Navy Captains (O-6) serving on numbered fleet staffs. This decision is based on a determination that only one contractor possesses the unique qualifications required to effectively deliver this course, which bridges educational gaps between courses designed for Flag officers and those for lower-ranking officers. The course is conducted on the Naval War College campus in Newport, Rhode Island, and requires contracting a senior fellow with a combination of advanced professional education, maritime operational experience at executive levels, familiarity with regional maritime issues, and graduate-level teaching competence. The identified contractor, Vice Admiral (Ret.) Costello, meets these stringent qualifications. The contract is authorized under specific federal regulations allowing non-competitive procurement when only one source is capable of satisfying the agency's requirements. The period of performance runs from the date of contract award through September 30, 2021. The contract falls under NAICS code 611710, relating to educational services, with a small business size standard of $16.5 million. While the offer is a sole source award, the Naval War College has invited all responsible sources to submit proposals or capability statements for consideration, ensuring compliance with procurement guidelines while fulfilling the specialized educational needs of senior naval officers.

Full Description

NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A SOLE SOURCE CONTRACT The Naval War College has a requirement to facilitate ELOC courses in accordance with the provided statement of work. Under the authority of 10 USC 2304(c) (1) pursuant to FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), the product or services needed by the agency are available from only one responsible source or only from a limited number of responsible sources and no other type of property or services will satisfy the needs of the agency. A determination not to compete this proposed contract is based on market research and is solely within the discretion of the government. As evidenced in the sole source justification provided by the requiring activity there is only one contractor that has the specific qualifications that meet the peculiar requirements of this contract. The ELOC course is tailored for an officer in the rank/pay-grade of Navy Captain/O-6 on the numbered fleet staff to bridge educational gaps between courses offered for the Flag level and those offered to officers in the pay-grades of 0-2 through 0-5. The course is taught at the NWC campus in Newport, RI with students assigned TAD for the week-long ELOC. NWC resident faculty members prepare and coordinate the course syllabus, procure teaching materials, and fund administrative expenses. Because the course attendees are senior 0-6s, it is necessary to contract an individual who can serve as a senior fellow and support faculty for the course. The qualifications for this position are unique in that they require a combination of professional education, operational experience in maritime warfare at senior/executive levels, experience as a numbered Fleet Commander, familiarity with the regional maritime issues, an understanding of Naval War College missions and functions, and competence in teaching at the graduate level. The Contractor identified is VADM (Ret.) Costello. The period of performance will be from date of contract award to 30 September 2021. The NAICS code is 611710 and the small business size is $16.5M. All responsible sources may submit a proposal, capability statement or quotation which shall be considered by the agency.
