The Naval Sea Systems Command, through Naval Surface Warfare Center Port Hueneme Division, is seeking a contractor to deliver a specialized two-day, 16-hour training course titled "What Test and Evaluators Need to Know About Program Management and Systems Engineering and Why" to up to 20 students per session. The course curriculum encompasses program management fundamentals (planning, scheduling, budgeting, earned value management), systems engineering processes (requirements analysis, risk management, trade studies), test and evaluation principles, agile integration, and advanced topics including human systems integration and modeling/simulation. Key contract requirements include submission of a detailed lesson plan with time allocations and instructional techniques, course materials, instructor professional biographies demonstrating a minimum of three years of Department of War training experience, and all-inclusive pricing covering course manuals, facility rentals, equipment, and instructor travel. Evaluation will be based on lowest evaluated price for technically acceptable proposals, with technical capability, past performance, and pricing serving as the primary evaluation factors. The solicitation was issued on April 17, 2026, with proposals due by May 6, 2026 at 3:00 PM Pacific Daylight Time, and quotes must remain valid for 60 calendar days.

This procurement is set aside 100% for Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) concerns under NAICS code 611430 with a size standard of $15.0 million. The base year period of performance runs from May 29, 2026 through September 30, 2026, with four optional one-year renewal periods extending contract performance through September 30, 2030. Training will be delivered either in-person at Naval Construction Battalion Center Port Hueneme, California or virtually via Microsoft Teams, with the Government providing necessary infrastructure for virtual delivery through its Workforce Development Team. The solicitation does not identify a potential incumbent or specify explicit award values, though the firm-fixed-price structure requires all travel and per diem costs to be fully burdened into the pricing for each course line item.
