DANTES Military Training Evaluation Program
The Defense Human Resources Activity (DHRA) is seeking a contractor to execute the DANTES Military Training Evaluation Program (MTEP), which involves evaluating and validating military training and occupational experiences for potential college credit recommendations. The primary objectives include conducting 300-500 course reviews annually, performing 4-8 occupational reviews, and executing 5-9 community reviews to translate military learning into semester hour college credits. Technical evaluation factors will prioritize Technical Capability, with additional consideration given to Past Performance, Small Business Participation Plan, and Price, with Technical Capability being the most significant assessment criterion. Proposals must be submitted electronically by March 14, 2025, at 1:00 PM ET, with potential contractors required to demonstrate experience in military training course evaluations and possess at least five years of postsecondary teaching experience. Prospective bidders can submit questions to Contract Specialist Jada Weaver by February 10, 2025, and must adhere to the solicitation's detailed submission requirements across five proposal volumes.
The solicitation is designated as a Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) opportunity with no specific set-aside, covering a base period of 10 months from June 1, 2025, through March 31, 2026, and including four potential one-year option periods extending through March 31, 2030. The contract will be performed primarily at DANTES facilities in Pensacola, FL, with some travel to military training locations, and will utilize a combination of Firm-Fixed-Price and Time & Materials pricing structures. The base period requires evaluation of 225 courses, 30 US Coast Guard courses, 10 occupational reviews, and 10 community reviews, with quantities scaling across option years. Contractors must maintain a digital catalog with 95% system availability, process over 400,000 transcript requests annually, and implement API frameworks for data exchange. Travel costs are preset, ranging from $178,500 to $310,000 annually for general requirements, with the government expecting the contractor to meet small business participation goals of 30% of the total contract value.
