The requirement is a new contract with training focused on IED (Improvised Explosive Device) hand entry and defeat practical exercises, requiring a combination of Tier 1 EOD and electronics instructors. Key details include 24 total training devices across 6 iterations over 3 days, with students expected to have hands-on experience with at least 8 different training devices under varying conditions, including night vision and blackout scenarios.
The solicitation involves training to be conducted at Fort Bragg, with proposals due 29 December and training scheduled to start 12 January 2026. The government's projected award date is no later than 05 January, with the Contracting Officer Representative serving as the sponsor for security-based training requirements. The correct NAICS code is confirmed as 611699, which will be updated on SAM.Gov. Live fire is not a requirement, and the training will focus on practical IED hand entry exercises using complex training devices with an instructor experienced in DoD Special Mission Unit EOD operations.

611699 is the correct NAICS the SAM.Gov posting will be changed to reflect this.
Para 5.16.1.1 in the PWS identifies Tier 1 EOD instructors, however the in depth IED design and electronic is better taught by an electronics instructor (prior NSWDG experienced), supported by a Tier 1 EOD instructor. Is this acceptable or is the electronics to be taught by the EOD Operator.
An electronics instructor (prior NSWDG experienced), supported by a Tier 1 EOD instructor is acceptable.
Para 4.16 in the PWS states 2 instructors are required, are both to be Tier 1 EOD or a combination of EOD and Electronics instructors
The combination of a Tier 1 EOD instructor and an electronics Instructor is acceptable.
Para 5.16.2.1 in the PWS identifies PAN, is this to include live fire?? Para 3.16 facilities do not specify if ranges are provided, can it be clarified if live fire is needed, if so is ammunition and shock tube also provided

What’s is the governments proposed award schedule? with proposals due 29 Dec and training to start 12 Jan 2026 we have limited time to manufacture the devices
The Government will award as soon as possible after RFQ closing date,pending delays current projection is NLT 05 JAN.
Vendor Q&A and ship to Fort Bragg. Tactical Electronics can submit a compliant proposal upon receipt of the answer to the provided RFIs – can proposal submission and award be made early to allow for purchasing materials, manufacturing, and shipping the devices prior to the first iteration
If amendment to proposal submission and award are not flexible can training / execution dates be adjusted to match manufacturing lead times, all devices are custom manufactured to each customer requirement and not held premade in inventory
The unit is unable to change their timeline at this time.
