PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

MARINE CORPS TRAINING AND EDUCATION

COMMAND (TECOM) COLLEGE OF DISTANCE EDUCATION AND TRAINING (CDET)

SENIOR ENLISTED BLENDED SEMINAR PROGRAM (SEBSP)

SUPPORT CONTRACT

1.0 Scope

The scope of this effort is to provide program management, instructional services, and administrative services for the modernization of Senior Enlisted Blended Seminar Program (SEBSP) in support of the Marine Corps College of

Distance Education and Training (CDET), Marine Corps University (MCU). This support is to be provided at the CDET Headquarters in Quantico, VA and at four regional campus’ and Staff Non-Commissioned Officer

(SNCO) Academy locations: Marine Corps Base (MCB) Quantico VA, MCB Camp Lejeune NC, MCB Camp

Pendleton CA, and MCB Camp Butler Okinawa Japan. MCB Camp Butler will also provide support for MCB

Hawaii. (See Appendix A for a map of the regional areas).

1.1 Background

The MCU, CDET is located at MCB Quantico, VA. The CDET mission is to design, develop, deliver, evaluate, manage, and resource distance learning products and programs across the training and education continuum, in order to increase operational readiness. Since 2012 CDET has been modernizing enlisted PME programs to meet Commandant of the Marine Corps (CMC) directed requirements for ranks LCpl –GySgt or E-3 through

E-7. In 2021 Commanding General (CG) Education Command (EDCOM) provided CDET direction to modernize the E-8 level PME program.

The current PME requirement for E-8 consists of a 5 day in person seminar. Given the E-8 learning outcomes and the modernization of the PME programs for E-3 through E-7, the current E-8 seminar curriculum and execution fails to foster the intellectual edge required of our senior enlisted leaders for success in increasingly complex, distributed, and fluid operating environments. Marine Corps University (MCU) offers a six-week resident Senior Enlisted Professional Military Education (SEPME) program aboard MCB Quantico. While

SEPME achieves the MCU-designated learning outcomes for E-8s, it is neither available to the majority of the E-

8 population nor a PME requirement. CDET’s solution is the SEBSP, a SEPME-like curriculum in a blended format available to all E-8s across the Total Force. The SEBSP is designed for delivery in two stages: an eight-week nonresident period followed by a two-week resident period. Stage one, the Nonresident Seminar (NRS) period, will be accomplished as an onsite or online seminar of 15 students (Max Student to Faculty ratio is 1:15) facilitated by an instructor (Government Furnished Information (GFI) item a. page 6). Students will complete the

NRS during off-duty hours onsite at or near their primary duty station or online; NRS cohorts will meet one night per week, in person or virtually via the CDET virtual classroom. Each cohort will then transition to stage two, the Final Resident Seminar (FRS). Multiple NRS cohorts will join together for the FRS. The FRS will occur over two weeks at a SNCOA at the following MCU regional campuses: MCB Camp Pendleton, CA; MCB Camp

Lejeune, NC; MCB Quantico, VA; and MCB Butler, Okinawa, Japan/MCB Hawaii. Student to faculty ratios during the FRS vary from 1:15 to 1:45 depending on the course being taught. These ratios and an expected FRS schedule are provided in GFI, item b. FRS Course Cards page 6. In order to allow for maximum participation in the program a separate 18-week Senior Enlisted Online Seminar (SEOS) option will be available by exception to those stationed in billets and areas where participation in the BSP is impossible/impractical.

In order to facilitate consistency in delivery and to ensure quality of instruction, CDET has established regional offices, each managed by a Government Regional Director (RD). Each RD is responsible for managing their office and providing educational support to the students and unit commanders in their region. RDs will coordinate with the base, stations, and SNCO Academies within their region for the classroom facilities to conduct the seminars. The first year of the contract is expected to operate at an Initial Operating Capability

(IOC) of three iterations and support 570 students. Appendix B is the IOC SEBSP Schedule. At Full

Operational Capability (FOC), this program is expected to operate in four iterations and support a maximum of up to 1080 seats available through the BSP and up to 110 through SEOS. Academic Year 2023 capacity will support 570 students through the SEBSP and 0 through SEOS. Academic Years 2024 thru 2028 capacity will support meet FOC requirements of up to 1080 Students through SEBSP and up to an additional 110 Students through SEOS. See specific support in Ch. 3.

The Government will provide the following services and facilities in support of the CDET regional offices:

• Adequate office and storage space for personnel, courseware, and materials.

• Adequate space for personnel is defined as the following:

At FOC, the SEBSP Academic year offers 8 iterations of the 2-week FRS period of instruction. Each FRS will begin approximately two to four weeks after completion of the NRS.

Upon establishment of task order requirement, the Contractor shall provide instructional support for the applicable instructional period(s). NRS/SEOS Adjunct Faculty Teaching Services

For the SEBSP, the contractor shall provide adjunct faculty teaching services for two separate areas of expertise, teaching fundamentally different content: leadership and warfighting for a senior enlisted leader and communications with an emphasis on writing and oral presentation.
