4. JA Radar Training PR 1222 7.22.2025....._Redacted.pdf

This document is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for Other Than Full and Open Competition for a Simplified Acquisition, dated 7/17/25, with PR #12239. The Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) requires foundational radar training for entry-level and journeyman analysts, specifically a 5-day course provided by Georgia Tech Professional Education (GTPE). ONI has negotiated a fee to provide this training locally in the DC area for up to 25 analysts from September 22-26, 2025.

The justification highlights that GTPE is the sole provider of the Principles of Modern Radar course, which is critical for multiple agencies' analysis and modeling efforts. Market research was not extensively conducted, but GTPE has historical success in providing similar training. The document notes that while other vendors offer foundational radar training, GTPE was uniquely positioned to host the course locally, reducing travel expenses. The procurement will be executed under the simplified acquisition threshold, with GTPE offering a certificate program that provides modular radar training tailored to naval systems analysis.
