LEADERSHIP ACADEMY

STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES

1.0 BACKGROUND

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) has developed a Strategic Leadership Succession Program. A critical component of the program consists of the Leadership Academy that will meet the requirements of 5 USC 4121 but more importantly, this program will strengthen current and future leadership skills and knowledge.

The mission of Naval Surface Warfare Centers (NSWC), of which the Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) is a part of, is to operate the Navy’s full-spectrum research, development, test and evaluation, engineering, and fleet support center for ship systems, surface ship combat, and weapons systems, littoral warfare systems, force warfare systems, and other offensive and defensive systems associated with surface warfare and related areas of joint, homeland and national defense systems from sea and ashore. NSWC also provides the Navy’s core technical capability for the integration of weapons, combat and ship systems into surface ships and vehicles and for development and integration of energetic materials for joint applications.

Specifically, NSWCDD’s mission is to provide research, development, test and evaluation (RDT&E), analysis, systems engineering, integration and certification of complex naval warfare systems. Through the years, Dahlgren established itself as the major testing area for naval guns and ammunition. Today, it continues to provide the military with testing and certification by utilizing its Potomac River Test Range in Dahlgren, VA, and provides Fleet support at the Dam Neck Activity, overlooking the Virginia Capes Fleet Operations Area, Virginia Beach, VA.

NSWCDD conducts basic research in all systems-related areas and pursues scientific disciplines including physics, mathematics, laser and computer technology, software, mechanical, and electrical and systems engineering. As a premier naval scientific and engineering institution, Dahlgren technology is critical to new design concepts for current ships and for systems integration and interoperability for the U.S. Navy.

NSWCDD is seeking a contractor to deliver and facilitate leadership training for their civilian employees at the Dahlgren, VA and Dam Neck, VA sites. The intent of the program is to engage employees at all levels of leadership within NSWCDD and develop their leadership skills and knowledge to better prepare them for future career advancement. The individual courses are to be developed and offered as a continuum of learning, building on each other while at the same time able to be stand-alone classes, and not dependent on previous classes for full attainment of the learning objectives.

2.0 SCOPE

In support of its mission, the Human Resources Division, Workforce Development Branch of NSWCDD seeks to acquire one contractor to provide instruction and facilitation services for the delivery of up to four (4) unique leadership courses offered over the course of a fiscal year. Each course is to be a minimum of 5 days in length, and last no more than 8 days each. The ideal design will have multiple modules for each course, allowing for on-the-job application of learning in between the modules. The courses are part of the Leadership Academy that NSWCDD has developed. The classes to be delivered are: Introduction to Leadership; Leading Teams & Groups;

Leading People; and Leading Across the Organization.

The four (4) classes shall be targeted to different levels of the organization and shall be a developmental opportunity for employees at all levels of leadership to better prepare them for future career advancement. The individual courses shall be developed and offered as a continuum of learning, building on each other while at the same time shall be stand-alone classes, with different objectives and goals of learning and skill building for each one. The contractor shall be responsible for providing a follow-on evaluation at the end of each training class delivery and providing feedback to NSWCDD.

The Leadership Academy instructor-led courses shall be offered at two main locations in Virginia;

Dahlgren and Virginia Beach. NSWCDD will be responsible for obtaining all delivery venue sites.

Each class may be offered multiple times throughout the year.

All respondents shall have an active role in the preparation, management, and delivery of the course.

NSWCDD shall have full discretion and rights to use and modify proposed content, as it deems appropriate for use in their Leadership Academy programs.

Once a class session is completed, the contractor shall not keep any participant information, in any form or database.

o Any participant contact information provided to the contractor by NSWCDD shall be deleted or destroyed within 10 business days following the class session.

o Any participant information (e.g., assessment/instrument reports, background information, other pre-work, etc.) collected by the contractor shall be deleted or destroyed within 10 business days following the class session, noted by a confirming message to the Contracting Officer post-disposal.

The target audience is NSWC Dahlgren Division operational and technical professionals and leaders.

The audience typically includes participants at the GS-5 to GS-14 levels, depending on the level of the class. As many as 30 participants will attend each session. Each class shall begin at 8:00 a.m.

and end at 4:00 p.m. each day, including a one-hour lunch break, unless otherwise scheduled by

NSWCDD.

The TPOC will provide on-site instruction to the contractor as needed and will monitor the delivery of courses or programs or observe the delivery of other services. Contractor flexibility in making adjustments in delivery of services is required and expected. Changes in the requirements of staff and customers may occur and may result in cancellation of an order and/or rescheduling of services.

These changes will be communicated to the contractor by the TPOC or NSWCDD staff managing the activity.
