The vendor shall ensure that all vendor personnel assigned to the training facility maintain a standard of grooming and personal appearance that is in keeping with their positions as professionals in a military environment. It must be recognized that these courses of instruction are taught at a high-visibility military command and are very much in the public eye and that vendor personnel provide leadership to young men and women in a military training scenario. As such, it is required that vendor personnel’s standards of grooming and personal appearance be appropriate to a traditional military organization. Hair shall be neat, clean and well groomed. Hair length and styles for males/females should present an appearance compatible with the educational environment in which work is performed.

3.6.2 During laboratory or classroom sessions, which may unduly soil clothing, coveralls may be worn over other appropriate clothing. In such cases, the vendor shall provide the coveralls for vendor personnel. The vendor shall provide the upkeep and cleaning (laundry) of the coveralls.

3.7 AUTHORITY OF VENDOR INSTRUCTORS AND RELATIONSHIP TO MILITARY AUTHORITIES

3.7.1 Vendor personnel shall maintain an orderly, professional atmosphere in all classrooms and laboratories under their cognizance and shall have authority commensurate with this responsibility. Students whose conduct is not conducive to such an atmosphere shall be cautioned, and if the inappropriate conduct continues, shall be referred by the vendor to the GTPOC. This does not preclude immediate referral if, in the opinion of the vendor personnel, the misconduct is of such severity as to warrant such action. In the event of formal military action against students under their tutelage, vendor personnel may be requested to provide written statements to, or appear in person at, Non-Judicial Punishment (NJP) or Court-Martial proceedings. Such statements or appearances may be directly related to charges or may provide information for use in determining appropriate punishment.

3.7.2 The vendor shall report any disciplinary problem (e.g., fraternization, sexual harassment, racial discrimination, etc…) between vendor employees and military staff or students to the TA or GTPOC immediately of the problem.

Upon notification by the GTPOC that a student complaint involving the aforementioned disciplinary problems has been received, the vendor shall investigate the complaint and submit a response to the GTPOC. If the complaint involves a student-vendor personnel relationship, the vendor personnel named in the complaint shall be removed by the vendor from the class while the investigation is being conducted. If the investigation determines the complaint is justified, the vendor's response shall include a corrective action plan to resolve the matter. All responses shall be provided to the GTPOC within three (3) working days of the notification.

3.7.3 Vendor personnel are not in the military chain of command and will not be included in any discussions or matters related.

3.8 COURSE INSTRUCTION

3.8.1 The vendor shall familiarize their personnel with applicable Navy rules, regulations, and other requirements, and shall notify their personnel of changes to such as they occur. As identified by the Government, the vendor shall attend in-service training (IST) designed to update vendor personnel on Government rules, regulations, and other requirements. The Government will try to schedule training to occur without interrupting the class schedule.

3.8.2 The vendor may be required to utilize Automated Electronic Classrooms (AECs), Laptops, Presentation Technology Classrooms (PTCs), Learning Resource Centers (LRCs) and/or Video Tele-Training (VTT) to deliver course/content under this contract, as applicable. The vendor shall teach, test or remediate in applicable courses using the AEC or PTC, as required. As new Electronic Podiums or AECs/PTCs are implemented for courses or seats taught under this contract, the Government will coordinate the timeline and implementation schedule with the vendor.

3.8.3 Legacy Environment (Group-Paced, Instructor Led) Resident Classroom Setting. The vendor shall provide onsite instructors certified to teach a course in a classroom setting and remediate one-on-one and in a small group setting. The instructor shall lead a classroom of students in a group-paced format using official curricula, to including but not limited to an instructor guide, student guide, technical manual that are either hard copy or digitized.

3.9 ACADEMIC STANDARDS

3.9.1 The vendor shall adhere to and maintain academic standards (e.g., course grading criteria) in accordance with assessment standards for the contracted course(s). If the student(s) have academic problems, the vendor shall provide academic counseling and a remediation plan to improve their course performance and bring it back to the standard as approved by the NTTC Training Officer and Fort Gregg-Adams Training Officer.

3.10 COURSE MASTER SCHEDULES (CMS(S)) AND STUDENT/INSTRUCTOR RATIOS

3.10.1 The CMSs, provided as Technical Attachments are a breakout of the Navy’s current curriculum schedules and provide a period-by-period breakdown of the subject matter of the course, the sequence of the instructional program, the time allocated to each subject, the time specified for theory and practical instruction, and the student-to-instructor ratio for each period. In self-paced courses, there are computer programs that monitor student progress through the content. These programs are provided to predict reusable learning object completion and therefore graduation dates. Vendors will be required to use these programs to assist in monitoring student progress and intervene with academic recommendations.

3.10.2 Student/Instructor ratios are specified in the CMS for each course. The vendor shall provide the number of personnel as specified by the student/instructor ratio on the Course Master Schedule. The vendor may provide recommendations for change to the GTPOC for review and approval IAW current NAVEDTRA 135 guidance.

3.10.3 The TA will notify the vendor if the Government changes the student loading (planned input) on a class-by-class basis or numbers of seats available (i.e., if the Government’s student loading will fall below or exceed the student/instructor ratios stated in the Course Master Schedule). When the Government’s actual student loading at the beginning of a class exceeds the student loading and/or student/instructor ratios required by the contract, the vendor shall provide the necessary additional personnel, considering the increase in student loading, to meet the student/instructor ratio requirements of that particular course. Depending on the course or seats, the Government may elect to increase the student loading stated in the contract up to 20 percent without requiring any additional vendor personnel.

3.10.4 In some courses, an additional ratio is listed in the Course Master Schedule in parenthesis next to the standard ratio for the class/seats. This ratio indicates that a space or equipment limitation ("bottleneck") exists and only a portion of the class can progress through the unit of instruction at the same time. This class is divided into smaller groups with some groups taking the training and others waiting to rotate through.

3.11 CLASSROOM RESPONSIBILITIES

3.11.1 The vendor shall use best practices in classroom preparation, student administration, test proctoring, and safety procedures, to avoid interruptions in the training day and promote a safe and secure environment conducive to learning for courses supported under this contract. The vendor shall coordinate changes in classroom arrangements and/or scheduling with the GTPOC or TA. The vendor shall provide a Training Report by the first Wednesday of month which will identify course convening, vendor personnel teaching assignments and number of students in attendance.

3.11.2 The Government will muster students and provide rosters to the vendor, where appropriate. When rosters are provided, the vendor shall verify student attendance. This function in some cases may be managed by the learning management system and therefore some minimal onsite training maybe required facilitating instruction in a self-paced environment. The Government will provide such training.

3.11.3 Military instructors may attend or co-teach a course at any time.

3.11.4 Classroom Administration. As a minimum, the vendor shall:
