LIFELONG LEARNING CENTER (LLC) CONTRACTOR TECHNICAL SUPPORT

COMBINED ARMS CENTER-TRAINING

ARMY TRAINING SUPPORT CENTER

FORT EUSTIS, VA 23604

PART 1

GENERAL INFORMATION

1.0 General: This is a non-personal services contract to provide US Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) Proponent-Lifelong Learning Center (LLC) Technical Support for the LLC Program. The purpose of the LLC Program is to provide lifelong learning capability at TRADOC schools. Lifelong learning gives TRADOC the ability to create a training and education environment that takes advantage of major developments in information technologies and training and education methodologies. It provides the ability to support a force in transformation by providing relevant, standardized training and education, on demand, to the right Soldier, leader, or unit, at the teachable moment, regardless of location. The LLCs specifically address that portion of TRADOC’s mission to train and educate the Army’s Soldiers; develop leaders; and support training in units. Key in the development of the lifelong learning process is ensuring the process is user-friendly. All players associated with the mission to train and educate the force will improve their ability to perform their jobs and more importantly, the Soldier and leader will benefit from a process that allows them to learn, grow, and achieve in their profession throughout their career, wherever they serve.

1.0.1 The LLC is the technical hub of the lifelong learning process and is essential for all lifelong learning development. It is the community of interest for the proponent. The LLC is the portal for all Soldiers/leaders to access their proponent training and education content. The LLC provides training and education content, courses and courseware, collaboration, information, discussions, all related to the professional needs of the user. The LLC has a student management function to monitor, manage, and provide relevant training content to a Soldier throughout their career. The LLC has a digital library for creation, storage and delivery of all standardized proponent training and education content, and has a human element with support available 24 hours/7 days a week via the Army Training Help Desk. LLC Technical support is currently provided at the following locations: Ft.

Eustis, VA; Ft. Gordon, GA; Ft. Leavenworth, KS; Ft. Leonard Wood, MO; the Judge Advocate General Legal Center and School (TJAGLCS), Charlottesville, VA; the Warrant Officer Career College (WOCC), Ft. Rucker, AL;

and the United States Army Sergeants Major Academy (USASMA), Ft. Bliss, TX, with the Contractor Program Manager on-site at the Ft. Eustis location.

1.0.2 The Government shall not exercise any supervision or control over the contract service providers performing the services herein. Such 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, supervision, and other items necessary to perform TRADOC Proponent-LLC Technical Support as outlined in this Performance Work Statement (PWS) except for those items specified as government furnished property and services.

1.2 Background: The initial execution of lifelong learning in the Army was done at the Army Signal School at Fort Gordon, GA. A year-long study was conducted for Ft. Gordon in 2001 to examine current training and education methodologies and proposed a plan to take their training mission into the future. The result was a plan created in July 2001 titled “The University of Information Technology and Digital Training Master Plan”. The plan was the birth of the lifelong learning process. The LLC program was extended to Ft. Leavenworth, KS and Ft. Leonard Wood, MO in 2006. The enterprise LLC was established at Ft. Eustis, VA in 2007.

1.2.1 It is TRADOC’s methodology of providing training and education along with the opportunity to acquire the skills, knowledge, and attributes needed to perform the missions of the Army’s Future Forces. The four established LLCs (Forts Eustis, Gordon, Leonard Wood, & Leavenworth) and three separate locations at TJAGLCS in Charlottesville, VA, WOCC at Ft. Rucker, AL, and USASMA at Ft. Bliss, TX currently have more than 299,000 resident and non-resident registered users annually using the Learning Content Management System (LCMS) (Blackboard Learn™) capability on the .mil (NIPR), .smil (SIPR), and commercial (.com) networks.

1.3 Objectives: The contractor shall maintain Web Portal capability, Support Desk and Digital Library functionality, Student Management (database) and Extension Campus support capability, and LCMS (Blackboard Learn™) capabilities that facilitate the sustainment of the LLCs on all three networks - .mil, .smil, and .com. The LLCs will provide community of interest training support for students. The LLCs LCMS is accessible to students in all three environments (.mil, smil, and .com) on a 24-hour basis as classrooms without walls, making training content accessible on demand to Soldiers in every theater of operations. The LLCs LCMS will provide commanders in the field with Extension Campus capability, enabling them to bring training content to it, in the environment in which that training is crucial, diminishing the need to send Soldiers to the resident school.

1.4 Scope: The TRADOC Capability Manager (TCM) for Army Training Information System (ATIS) is responsible for maintaining standardized LLC capabilities for both TRADOC and non-TRADOC schools. The Combined Arms Center-Training (CAC-T), Fort Leavenworth, KS, has designated the US Army Training Support Center (ATSC) at Fort Eustis, VA to serve as the Program Manager (PM) for this effort. LLCs expand/enhance each proponent school with an “always–on” 365/24/7 capability. The LLC infrastructure leverages cutting-edge technologies and are adaptable to future technology evolutions focused on improving the lifelong learning concept such as injecting load balancing solutions, updating authentication methods, using content caching solutions The contractor shall provide support services for four (4) LLCs and three (3) separate operating locations; however, the requirement may evolve into more or less locations and work effort dependent upon DoD future needs.

1.4.1 This strategy uses a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract platform, encompassing the four LLCs and other supported training detachments, becoming effective on or about 12 August 2020. The current requirement may expand or contract dependent upon Army requirements and or budgetary constraints.

1.4.2 In accordance with Department of the Army lifelong learning strategy and pursuant to TRADOC guidance, the LLC’s support capabilities shall be maintained at Fort Eustis, VA; Ft. Gordon, GA; Ft. Leavenworth, KS; Ft.

Leonard Wood, MO; TJAGLCS, Charlottesville, VA; the WOCC, Ft. Rucker, AL; and the USASMA, Ft. Bliss, TX.

The scope of this order applies to personnel required to establish, operate, and maintain LLC capability at each location.
