The solicitation requires a contractor to provide comprehensive support for the Air University Academic Centers, USAF Culture and Language Center, Center for Strategic Deterrence Studies, and Air Force Negotiation Center. Services will include research, program development, instruction, program event support, acquisition management, and management consulting activities designed to enable successful achievement of education and training missions. The evaluation will be a competitive best value source selection, with past performance being significantly more important than cost considerations. Proposals are due by March 21, 2024, and the government intends to award the contract without discussions, meaning initial proposals should contain offerors' most competitive terms.
The contract will use full and open competition under NAICS code 611710 (Educational Support Services) with a $24 million size standard. The anticipated contract is structured as a labor hour/cost reimbursement IDIQ with a base period and four potential one-year option periods.

Performance will be primarily conducted at Maxwell Air Force Base in Alabama, with potential for some off-site or reachback support.
