- Description
- The Philadelphia Office of the U.S. Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) Fleet Logistics Center (FLC) Norfolk Contracting Department intends to purchase voluntary technical aviation programs for U.S. Armed Forces in the United States Central Command (CENTCOM) and the United States Africa Command (AFRICOM) Areas of Responsibility (AOR) in support of the Defense Activity for Non-Traditional Education Support (DANTES). Required educational support includes providing a range of undergraduate and graduate degree programs in aeronautical science. These academic programs shall be delivered by distance learning methods and through face-to-face instruction at Outside the Contiguous United States (OCONUS) Army Education Centers, Air Force Education Centers, and Navy College Offices throughout the CENTCOM/AFRICOM AORs including contingency areas. A minimum of 25 percent of courses offered under these undergraduate and graduate level aeronautical science programs must be taught on-site via face-to-face delivery (100% of program core courses). Foreign countries where these services have historically been provided include Afghanistan, Bahrain, Djibouti, Egypt (Sinai), Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and The United Arab Emirates. However, these locations are subject to change and are not necessarily the only locations that will require support throughout the contract period of performance. NOTE: Contract performance in a contingency area such as Afghanistan requires contractor Theater Business Clearance (TBC). All required programs/courses must be taught by a post-secondary academic institution regionally accredited for face-to-face undergraduate courses and regionally or nationally accredited for distance learning courses. The academic institution providing the required academic and education support services must possess the following credentials: a) recognized by the U.S. Department of Education as an accredited post-secondary institution; b) accredited for both face-to-face and distance learning course delivery; c) member of ServiceMembers Opportunity Colleges (SOC); d) must be a Letter of Intent (LOI) school with the Armys GoArmyEd program; and, e) possess a fully executed Department of Defense (DoD) Voluntary Education Partnership Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). Per Department of Defense (DoD) Instruction 1322.25, Voluntary Education Programs, all institutions providing postsecondary education programs through the DoD Tuition Assistance (TA) Program must agree to the new DoD Voluntary Education Partnership Memorandum of Understanding and have a signed copy on-file with DoD prior to Service members receiving TA approval to attend their institution. This acquisition is being processed pursuant to FAR Part 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services will Satisfy Agency Requirements. Embry Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU), the incumbent provider of the requirement under contract N0018914DZ010, is considered the only source with the necessary institutional knowledge, academic/technical expertise, physical infrastructure, and personnel resources to provide the required breadth of postsecondary education programs at OCONUS locations in the CENTCOM/AFRICOM AOR, including contingency areas. All other responsible sources may submit concise documentation for consideration regarding their ability to provide the required educational support services. This synopsis is not a request for competitive proposals. A determination by the Navy not to compete the proposed contract action based upon responses to this synopsis is solely within the discretion of the Navy. Furthermore, no award will be made on the basis of information received in response to this notice and the Navy will not pay for any information provided. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether or not competitive procurement is a possibility. A Firm Fixed Price, Indefinite-Delivery Requirements contract consisting of one 54 month ordering period beginning 01 February 2017 is anticipated. The North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 611710. All submissions are required to be submitted via e-mail to michael.placido@navy.mil If no affirmative written responses advantageous to the Navy are received within fifteen (15) calendar days after publication of this notice, Embry Riddle Aeronautical University will be solicited to provide the required educational support. If this procurement were competed, no additional synopsis would be published and the solicitation document would only be forwarded to the intended vendor and firms that responded to this synopsis.
