AI Contract Overview

The Naval War College has issued a sole source intent to award contract to facilitate the ELOC course, a specialized educational program designed exclusively for Navy Captains (O-6) on numbered fleet staffs. This contract is awarded without competition under 10 USC 2304(c)(1) and FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) because only one contractor possesses the unique qualifications necessary to meet the highly specific requirements of the course. The ELOC course is held on the NWC campus in Newport, RI, and spans one week, with senior officers assigned temporary duty. Resident faculty manage the syllabus, teaching materials, and administrative tasks, but the complexity and seniority of the participants require a contractor who can act as a senior fellow and faculty support, demonstrating extensive operational maritime warfare experience at the executive level, familiarity with Naval War College missions, and teaching proficiency at the graduate level. Discussions during the course are often classified, so an active security clearance is required. The sole source contractor identified is Vice Admiral (Retired) Costello, recognized for his distinctive qualifications, including prior experience as a numbered Fleet Commander and deep knowledge of regional maritime issues. The contract specifies a period of performance from the award date until July 19, 2019, involving 68 hours of labor plus travel. The contract falls under NAICS code 611710, which relates to educational services, and the small business size standard is $15 million. Although this is a sole source action, the agency invites all responsible sources to submit proposals or capability statements, which will be considered. The Naval War College office in Newport, RI, manages the contract under the Department of Defense.

Full Description

INTENT TO AWARD SOLE SOURCE The Naval War College has a requirement to facilitate the ELOC course 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 courses are 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 O-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. Discussions will often be at the classified level, requiring an active security clearance. The Contractor identified is VADM (Ret.) Costello. The period of performance will be from date of contract award to 19 July 2019. The NAICS code is 611710 and the small business size is $15M. All responsible sources may submit a proposal, capability statement or quotation which shall be considered by the agency.
