Instructors must possess experience as former military special operations, expeditionary forces, or specialized tactical police personnel. The government will evaluate proposals using three factors in descending order of equal importance: Technical Capabilities and Approach (rated as Acceptable/Unacceptable), Past Performance (rated on a relevancy scale from Very Relevant to Not Relevant), and Price, with all non-cost factors combined being more important than cost.

The solicitation was posted on January 8, 2026, with responses due by January 12, 2026, and training delivery scheduled between January 19 and February 6, 2026.
This procurement is designated as a Total Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS code 611699 (All Other Miscellaneous Schools and Instruction) with a business size standard of $16,500,000, meaning only small businesses are eligible to compete. No incumbent contractor or current contract value is identified in the solicitation materials.

The place of performance is Pisgah, Maryland 20640, located within 80 miles of the Naval Surface Warfare Center Indian Head Division in Indian Head, Maryland. The contract will be administered through the Wide Area WorkFlow (WAWF) system for payment and invoice processing, and the government intends to award without discussions with bidders, though it reserves the right to conduct discussions if deemed necessary.
