USAWC DDE 2nd Year Instructors (x2)

This solicitation, identified as W91QF026Q1005, is a Request for Quotation issued under FAR 12.201-1 for two Faculty Instructors and Evaluators to support the Distance Education Program within the Department of Distance Education at the U.S. Army War College in Carlisle Barracks, Pennsylvania. The procurement is structured as a Total Small Business Set-Aside under FAR 19.5 with a NAICS code of 611310 and a small business size standard of $34.5 million. The contract is firm fixed price, awarded without discussions using a best-value approach where non-price factors are evaluated as pass/fail gates—failure to achieve an “Eligible” rating in any non-price factor results in disqualification. The performance period begins July 1, 2026, and extends through 2031 across multiple base and option years, with CLINs covering core instruction, resident courses, online electives, and battlefield staff rides, though the government will only pay for services utilized. The work is primarily remote, with all schedules based on Eastern Time, and any required travel to Carlisle Barracks is at the contractor’s expense. Contractors must comply with specific security, personnel, and administrative requirements including adherence to DoD 8570-M, AR 25-2, and USAWC directives regarding instructional standards. Key personnel must have a minimum of five years of qualifying experience, and failure to meet this standard will likely result in rejection. All contractors must maintain an active SAM Unique Entity Identifier, submit proposals via four distinct volumes (General, Technical, Past Performance, Price), and ensure all files include the vendor name and UEI on the first two pages. Submitting quotes requires strict adherence to formatting rules, including Microsoft Office formats, 12-pitch or 10-point font, single-spaced black text on white paper, and specific naming conventions. The proposal submission deadline is June 8, 2026, at 0800 EDT, and questions must be submitted by June 1, 2026. The contract includes clauses covering gratuities, subcontractor restrictions, personal identity verification, prohibitions on inverted corporations and convict labor, sustainable products, security exclusions, and subcontracts for commercial services—all incorporating deviations effective February and April 2026. Payment must be submitted through WAWF using appropriate document types, and
