United States Naval Community College Partnerships

The United States Naval Community College Partnerships is a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle established by the Department of the Navy to develop educational partnerships with regionally accredited institutions. The primary objective is to create a United States Naval Community College that provides flexible, transferable academic degree programs and certifications for the entire enlisted Navy and Marine Corps workforce. The contract aims to develop educational opportunities that account for operational demands and technological constraints of a globally distributed military personnel base, with a focus on associate-level degrees in fields such as computer science, cybersecurity, applied engineering, data analytics, organizational leadership, and business administration.

Recent task orders under this vehicle demonstrate a diverse range of educational service procurement, with contract values typically ranging from $500 to approximately $23.5 million. Prime contractors have included prominent academic institutions such as Arizona State University, Western Governors University, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, University of Maryland Global Campus, and Virginia Community College System. The task orders consistently show no set-aside designations, indicating open competition, and performance locations span across the United States. Most task orders have performance periods extending through July 2026, with common focus areas including cybersecurity programs, military studies, organizational leadership, and technical curriculum development. The contracts are predominantly firm-fixed-price and support the Navy's broader goal of providing accessible, flexible educational opportunities for naval personnel, veterans, and their families.
