Certified Fiber Optics Training Courses

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is seeking to procure NAVSEA-certified fiber optics training courses through a Request for Quote (RFQ) designated as an unrestricted full and open competition. The solicitation requires a NAVSEA-certified instructor to deliver nine different fiber optics training courses covering termination and testing, cable handling, fusion splicing, and quality assurance/supervisor training. Key contractor qualifications include NAVSEA certification as an instructor, strong communication skills suitable for teaching foreign students in English, and the ability to provide all training equipment, materials, consumables, and round-trip shipping to Japan. While the solicitation does not explicitly detail specific evaluation criteria beyond contractor qualification and course delivery capability, the firm fixed-price contract structure indicates evaluation will focus on price competitiveness and compliance with technical requirements. The original offer due date of March 2, 2026 at 3:00 PM was extended via Amendment 0001 to March 3, 2026 at 3:30 PM to address vendor questions and allow additional submission time.

This procurement uses no set-aside designation and is open to all eligible contractors, though it was initially designated for Women-Owned Small Businesses. No incumbent contractor or current contract holder is identified in the solicitation documents. The contract will serve a total of 95 personnel across various Naval Ship Repair Facility shops and codes, with individual course class sizes ranging from 1 to 35 attendees. Performance is scheduled to occur at Fleet Activities Yokosuka, Japan from April 6 through May 12, 2026, with the government providing the classroom facility, worktables, chairs, interpreters, and audiovisual equipment to support training delivery. All offerors must be registered in SAM.gov and submit payments through the Wide Area WorkFlow (WAWF) system, with any exceptions to solicitation requirements required to be noted or deemed accepted as written.
