Quick Summary

The Department of the Air Force, 45 CONS PK, is conducting a Sources Sought for Catholic Religious Education Coordinator (CREC) support at Patrick Space Force Base (PSFB), FL, and potentially Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (AFS).

Purpose of Sources Sought

This is a Sources Sought notice for market research purposes, not a Request for Proposal. The government is seeking to identify potential sources, assess industry capabilities, and determine appropriate socio-economic categories for providing Catholic Religious Education Coordinator services. This notice does not constitute a commitment by the Government, and no solicitation currently exists.

Scope of Work

The requirement is for non-personal services as a Catholic Religious Education Coordinator (CREC) to support the 45th Space Launch Delta (SLD) Chaplain Corps. The CREC will administer the Catholic Religious Education (CRE) program for K-12 children, teens, and adults within the PSFB Catholic community. Key responsibilities include recruiting, training, and mentoring Christian educators, planning Vacation Bible School (VBS) if needed, and coordinating religious education in accordance with Air Force Chaplain Corps and Archdiocese for the Military Services (AMS) guidelines. Work will primarily be performed at PSFB Chapel facilities (Seaside Chapel and South Patrick Chapel), with potential for virtual performance, requiring a minimum of 30 hours per month.

Key Requirements & Qualifications

The successful contractor must provide a CREC who is a practicing Roman Catholic with a letter of good standing, possesses basic computer skills (MS Office, SharePoint), is fluent in English, and demonstrates positive customer service. A Bachelor's degree in education or a related field (religious studies/theology preferred) is required, along with approval as an AMS Catechist and at least two years of relevant experience. The CREC must also pass a background investigation. Performance will be evaluated against a Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP), and the contractor must maintain an effective Quality Control Program (QCP).

  • Company business size (annual revenues, employee size) and socio-economic status (e.g., 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB, EDWOSB, small business).
