Collective Joint Training

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command seeks a Cost Plus Fixed Fee task order for Collective Joint Training support services to the Joint Staff J7 Deputy Directorate for Joint Training under the Seaport multiple award IDIQ contract vehicle, with step-two quotations due May 27, 2026. This is a follow-on to incumbent Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation's prior task order.

Place of performance is Suffolk, Virginia at Joint Staff J7 facilities, with potential OCONUS travel to combatant commander areas of responsibility. The base period runs August 31, 2026 through February 28, 2027, with four optional 12-month periods and one optional 6-month period extending through August 31, 2031. Estimated base period effort is 315,399 direct labor hours; total effort with all options exercised is 3,153,986 hours. The procurement uses a two-step fair opportunity process under FAR 16.507: step-one (two-page experience narratives) closed April 22; viable competitors now submit step-two technical and cost proposals.

Labor requirements span 40+ specialized categories including program management, project leads, subject matter matter experts, training specialists, analysts, and cybersecurity personnel. Personnel clearance breakdown is 39 percent Secret-level and 61 percent Top Secret/SCI; all contractor personnel require Tier 3 background investigations (minimum Interim Secret or final Secret clearance), DoD CAC, and continuous evaluation enrollment. The DD Form 254 Block 13 Addendum establishes additional security requirements including access to Restricted Data, Sensitive Compartmented Information, Special Access Programs, NATO classified materials, and Controlled Unclassified Information.

Evaluation employs a best-value trade-off approach weighing Performance Approach (more important) and Past Performance, followed by cost realism analysis. Technical proposals are limited to 20 pages; cost proposals are unlimited. Quoters must have DCAA-approved accounting systems. Travel costs are estimated at $1,879,960 (Operations & Maintenance) and $20,000 (Research, Development, Test & Evaluation) for the base period. The NAICS code is 541330, Engineering Services.
