Commander Navy Installations Command (CNIC) Force Chaplain has vetted and approved a range of programs and curricula to provide a standardized product inventory for Chaplain's Religious Enrichment Development Operation (CREDO) programming. Commander Naval Forces Japan (CNFJ) and Commander Navy Region Japan (CNRJ) require a Training for Trainers (T4T) event that complies with OPNAVIST 1738.1 and CNIC 1738.1 to certify Religious Ministry Teams (RMT) to lead retreats and workshops with American Strengths Center's (ASC) copyrighted and proprietary strengths curriculum, one of several proprietary curricula that have been approved by CNIC. The T4T event and the subsequent events that will be led by its participants will directly contribute to the Region Commander's initiative to reduce self-destructive behaviors by increasing individual self-worth as well as enhancing relational bonds that in-turn minimize domestic violence and sexual harassment. Equipping multiple RMTs across CNJF/CNRF to deliver this transformational training ensures a broader reach for lives impacted.

2.0 Scope

The contractor shall support CNFJ/CNRJ RMTs by providing a 40 hour T4T to certify fifteen (15) CREDO and Navy personnel, including Chaplains, Religious Program Specialists, RMTs, Officers, and non-commissioned officers in the use of American Strengths Center's (ASC) copyrighted and proprietary strengths curriculum.

This T4T will be conducted on-base at the CFAY MWR facility, MWR Yokosuka Officer's Club, Yokosuka, Japan. The T4T will enable RMTs to lead existing Marriage Enrichment and Personal Growth Retreats and Workshops as well as applying ASC's copyrighted curriculum to Spiritual Growth events that focus on strengthening a spiritual core specifically within a military context and will incorporate the peer-reviewed research findings of Dr. Lisa Miller and Dr. Harold Koenig. This T4T will train participants in the facilitation of Gallup's StrengthsFinder 2.0 assessment to include training on the interpretation and application of assessment results specifically within a military context.

3.2 Spiritual Performance Fitness Guide: The Contractor will also train and equip area RMT leaders on how to lead and deliver training for ASC-developed Spiritual Performance Fitness Guide.

(f) If the Offeror selects "is" in paragraph (d)(1) and "partial or no exemption" in paragraph (d)(2) of this provision, the Offeror will be subject to withholding in accordance with the clause at FAR 52.229-12, Tax on Certain Foreign Procurements, in any resulting contract.

(g) A taxpayer may, for a fee, seek advice from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) as to the proper tax treatment of a transaction. This is called a private letter ruling. Also, the IRS may publish a revenue ruling, which is an official interpretation by the IRS of the Internal Revenue Code, related statutes, tax treaties, and regulations.
