Quick Summary
The Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division (NAWCTSD) has issued a pre-solicitation notice (N6134026R1029) and a Determination and Findings (D&F) for the consolidation of Engineering Contractor Instructional Services (ECIS) requirements. This effort will transition from a standalone Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-aside to a competitive task order under the existing Fielded Training Systems Support (FTSS) V Multiple Award Contract (MAC) Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Lot II (Restricted, Small Business).
Scope of Work
The ECIS requirement encompasses services such as Fire Fighting, Damage Control, and Engineering Contractor Instructor Services. The previous contract (N6134022C0007) had an estimated value of $28M, with the overall consolidation effort estimated at $44M. The D&F justifies this consolidation by aiming to reduce acquisition cycle time, streamline administrative processes, and leverage a pre-qualified pool of vendors, with a neutral impact on small business prime contracting opportunities.
