PART 1

GENERAL INFORMATION

1. General: This is a non-personal services contract to provide meals, lodging, facilities and student leadership personnel for cadets and cadre participating in Mobile County Public School System (MCPSS) JROTC Cadet Leadership Challenge (JCLC), Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Leadership Academy for USACC JROTC Cadets on a campus in Mobile, Alabama from 26 May to 5 June 2026 over a six-day sequential period.

Contractor shall provide a residential experience for a total estimated 160 cadets in a one-week (6 days) cycle. MCPSS will need the contract awarded no later than (NLT) 1 March 2026 or 90 days prior to the execution date to conduct planning meeting and onsite In-Progress Reviews (IPR) with the contractor to ensure appropriate materials are on-site and food is ordered in a timely manner.

Equipment delivery on 26 May, set up on 27 May, Professional Development (PD) on 28-29 May and actual camp dates are 31 May to 5 June 2026. This will include 30-40 JROTC cadre on the college or university campus during execution of STEM Academy with JROTC student cadet to act as chaperones and instructors for them. On the final day plan for an additional 20 instructors and personnel. Team building and self-awareness activities along with campus orientations will also be provided. This Academy is a hybrid in that it combines requirements outlined in Cadet Command Regulation 145-2 (dated 1 February 2012) with recent guidance from US Army to promote STEM educational opportunities for JROTC cadets. CCR 145-2 states specifically that JROTC units are to execute JCLC annually. Participation in JCLC is a factor when accrediting/assessing unit performance. The regulation further states that “JCLC will last a minimum of five days and include overnight stays.” Additional objectives are to: “provide cadets an opportunity to practice leadership skills in an unfamiliar environment; allow cadets a chance to participate in citizenship building exercises; give cadets the opportunity experience living and interacting with their peers from other units; provide an opportunity to participate in adventure training not normally available to cadets; take advantage of recreational facilities available and to have fun.” Contract service providers shall be accountable solely to the Contractor who, in turn is responsible to the Government.

1.1. Description of Services/Introduction: The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform specified meals, lodging and facility usage to support MCPSS JCLC STEM Leadership Academy. The contractor shall furnish facilities, furniture, equipment, supplies, management, supervision, and labor to provide lodging accommodation and meals, as specified herein, for the JCLC/STEM Leadership Academy 2026 for 190 personnel for the first five days and 210 personnel on the sixth day. In addition, the contractor shall develop a curriculum to support a minimum of three STEM challenges. This will include the development of the curriculum, a trial execution of the associated STEM challenges, the conduct of professional development for the staff that will be charged with executing the curriculum, and the supervision of the actual execution of the curriculum during the week-long STEM Leadership Academy. The goal of this academy is to increase a cadet’s awareness of STEM academic programs and career fields; enhancing their personal leadership and character development; inspiring academic excellence;

increasing the desire to continue education beyond high school and increasing the desire to pursue STEM related career opportunities within the workforce.

Contractor shall provide at least 10 upper-level college students (raising junior, senior or graduate students) to coach, mentor and guide groups of 20 to 25 cadets each through the one-week cycle and complete a brief assessment or evaluation on each cadet at the end of the cycle. College students and/or graduates are expected to live in the dorms near the cadets and guide the cadets through all activities for the entire week. Provide skirted tables for registration as outlined below. Contractor is to provide all equipment and services as defined in this Performance Work Statement (PWS) except for those items specified as government furnished property and services. The contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract.

1.2. Background: One of the major challenges facing the nation is the need for greater emphasis on STEM education in our public schools. To help address this need we intend to expand STEM education in our curriculum for Army JROTC Cadets. To have the biggest impact on Cadets, United States Army Cadet Command (USACC) requires a location that can provide leadership and STEM education to enhance the activities schedule for JROTC Cadets from programs throughout the state of Alabama. The selected venue must also have the organizational structure and facilities to support lodging and meal requirements at one location. A check of the Army Educational Outreach Program’s (AEOP) website is evidence of the Army’s commitment to providing STEM educational opportunities to America’s youth. On their website, it states The U.S. Army has a growing need for highly qualified, STEM-literate technicians and skilled workers in advanced manufacturing, logistics, management and other technology-driven fields. The need for STEM literacy – the ability to understand and apply concepts from science, technology, engineering and mathematics to solve our nation’s most complex problems – is growing exponentially globally. The requirement for STEM literacy goes beyond the traditional STEM occupations of scientist, engineer and mathematician. The Army also has a growing need for highly qualified, STEM-literate technicians and skilled workers in advanced manufacturing, logistics, management and other technology-driven fields.

Success and sustainment for the Army’s Science & Technology Enterprise heavily depends on the continuous development of innovative solutions that protect the greatest asset – our Soldier – and our nation, against current and emerging threats.

To help address this need we intend to expand STEM education in our curriculum for Army JROTC cadets in the Mobile County School District. To have the biggest impact on cadets, USACC will partner with a college or University located in Mobile, Alabama, to provide STEM education and activities to JROTC cadets in the MCPSS. In collaboration with local industries and businesses in the City of Mobile and the surrounding area, this STEM Leadership Academy will meet the objectives outlined above at a minimum cost to the Army.

1.3. Scope: The contractor shall provide for establishment of a STEM education program for the purpose of introducing selected JROTC cadets to scientific, technology and engineering career opportunities, provide direct exposure to the college atmosphere, STEM curriculum, STEM related work sites, inspire the cadets to strive for academic excellence, continue their education beyond high school and pursue STEM related career opportunities. The Cadets also perform other training activities in the vicinity of this location, such as physical fitness, sports competitions, and drill and ceremony. The contractor shall furnish facilities: three Ball Rooms to act as classrooms, two Operations Center, one Medical Nurse Office, two Storage facilities, one Cafeteria with stage, projector and microphone, three separate dormitories for lodging for male and female cadets and DAI cadre and staff. All facilities must have running water, electricity and heat and air; furniture, equipment, supplies, management, supervision, and labor to provide lodging accommodations and meals, as specified herein, for the JCLC/STEM Leadership Academy 2026 for 190 personnel for the first five days and 220 personnel for the sixth day for the period 26 May to 5 June 2026.

Equipment delivery on 26 May, set up on 27 May, Professional Development on 28-29 May and actual Academy camp dates are 31 May to 5 June 2026. The contractor shall provide services in accordance with the terms, conditions, and specifications set forth in this Performance Work Statement.

1.4. Objectives: The Academy addresses the growing need of our area industries for graduates eager and able to fill industries’ STEM-dependent job openings by ensuring that these youth, typically underserved by existing STEM opportunities, are aware of the good career and workforce development opportunities here in Mobile and the knowledge and skills needed to secure those jobs. Through pre- and post-assessments, focused group interviews, site-based observations and post camp surveys the following measurable outcomes will be assessed and used to improve future STEM Academies:

1.4.1. Increased awareness of and interest in pursuing STEM-dependent jobs available in the Mobile and Gulf-coast regions with an understanding of the academic and skill requirements for those jobs.

1.4.2. Increased understanding of, and value for, STEM content and skills, i.e., team and leadership skills, as applied in the Academy experiments and investigations.

1.4.3. Increased awareness of and interest in attending post-secondary two or four year academic or technical institutions.
