Seamanship Land Warfare Indoctrination Course (SLWIC)

The Naval Sea Systems Command plans to award a sole source contract to the Calhoon MEBA Engineering School in Easton, Maryland, to deliver a two-week training course specifically designed for newly commissioned Engineering Duty Officers at the Ensign and Junior Grade levels. This comprehensive training will emphasize leadership development under operational stress conditions encountered during war at sea and on land. Key components of the course include practical instruction on shipboard systems, firefighting, damage control procedures, and an introduction to land warfare. The contract is justified under FAR 6.302-1 because the Calhoon MEBA Engineering School is uniquely qualified, possessing the necessary staff, facilities, and expertise to conduct all required modules within the Navy's timeline, making it the only viable provider for this specialized training. The contracting action is a non-competitive solicitation, not open to other vendors, due to the lack of any alternative source capable of meeting the Navy's technical and scheduling requirements. The contract is categorized under NAICS code 611310, related to educational services. This notification serves solely to inform the public of the intended sole source award, with no request for competitive proposals.
