Education/Training- Reserve Training (Military)

The Product and Service Code (PSC) U003 covers Education and Training services specifically focused on Reserve Training for military personnel. This category encompasses a wide range of training activities, including specialized technical instruction, field exercises, situational training, and professional development programs for military reserve units across various branches. The training services are designed to enhance military readiness, provide technical skill development, and support mission-critical preparedness objectives for reserve forces.

Federal Contract Awards under PSC U003 demonstrate a diverse range of training services, with contract values typically ranging from $8,000 to $12.3 million. Key funding agencies include the Department of the Army, Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps, with frequent awardees such as Aspects And Logistics LLC, Valkyrie Group International, and Custom Training Group Inc. Most awards are firm fixed-price purchase orders or delivery orders, often without specific set-aside designations, though some utilize total small business or service-disabled veteran-owned small business set-asides. Training locations frequently include military bases and training centers in states like Oklahoma, California, Georgia, and North Carolina, covering activities such as chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive (CBRNE) defense training, maritime training, medical readiness exercises, and specialized technical instruction.

The most recent federal contract opportunity for PSC U003 is a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers solicitation seeking Industry Led Training (ILT) in British Standard 7671 for the 249th Engineering Battalion at Fort Liberty, NC. This total small business set-aside opportunity is structured as a firm fixed-price purchase order, requiring a 5-day training program. The solicitation emphasizes detailed technical capability statements, pricing transparency, and compliance with specific Department of Defense acquisition regulations. The training is anticipated to be performed over 5 consecutive business days, with proposals due by September 5, 2024.
