Q and A 19 Apr 23.pdf

1. The PWS refers to the Joint Language Training Center (JLTC). The 300th MI Brigade hosts the “Excellence in Language Training Center (XLTC).” Are the JLTC and XLTC two different organiza ons? How can we learn more about the JLTC?

Answer: Yes, they are separate organiza on. XLTC is the The Army Language Program (TALP) program managed directly by the 300th MI Brigade. JLTC is under the Utah Na onal Guard Counterdrug Program. These organiza on are overseen by the same Brigade Commander but funded and organized as different programs.

2. The PWS describes the goal as star ng with students with a minimum DLAB score of 105; it appears they might have zero proficiency in the Turkish Language. Please confirm the students will start with zero proficiency.

Answer: Students have had no formal Turkish language training. They have conducted several months of self-study. I assess their proficiency as zero. Since the students have learned other language they have demonstrated competency in learning challenging languages.

3. The performance standard is for these students to achieve a minimum of 2/2 on the DLPT a er 1,100 class hours. Since some students will miss up to 20% of the POI, the actual POI me is 880 hours. Has the Government experienced success in the past using this approach?

Answer: The statement covers the possibility of missing training in the event of outside obliga ons in a 1,100 hour or 44 week course. If class me is missed a make-up or homework plan should be provided so that course can be complete and tes ng goals achieved. No further comments can be provided.

4. The contractor facility must be within 50 miles of Camp Williams. Will the Govt provide examples of facili es that have been used in the past?

Answer: facili es should be under direct control of the awarded business, ranging from access control, security, responsibly for their own u li es and communica on. Situa ons where temporary leases, dual usage, residence with other en es is not acceptable. Organic facili es to the bidding company is in line with expecta on of facility usage.

5. Will the Government accept synchronous, virtual instructor led training (VILT) instead of in-person training? We use this approach successfully to support 30-60 training sessions per day.

VILT also provides greater access to talented faculty across the country.

Answer: The primary and intended method of instruc on is in-person training. Acceptable situa ons where non in-person training such as VILT/remote/homework could involve remedia on, make-up classes, or augmented learning opportuni es.
