A determination by the Contracting Officer not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this Notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.



The College of Distance Education (CDE), Naval War College, has a requirement to conduct two (2) nonresident evening courses in Theater Security Decision Making as part of the Fleet Seminar Program in the Washington, DC area.



The courses are essentially the same as taught in residence at Newport, with the CDE resident faculty preparing the course syllabus, procuring teaching materials, and funding administrative expenses. Because the site of the courses is removed from the Naval War College (NWC) it is necessary to contract individuals who reside in these areas to serve as an instructor and local administrator for the courses.

The qualifications for this position are unique in that they require a combination of professional education, naval warfare operational experience, a familiarity with Naval War College missions and functions, and competence in teaching at the graduate level, using the NWC methodology.



The following Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities specific to each course apply:



Ph.D. in International Relations; National Security Affairs

Joint Professional Military Education Phase 1

Prior military experience at rank of 05 or above

Graduate of a Senior Service College



PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE: 01 August 2014 - 12 June 2015



PROCEDURES FOR SOLICITATION/AWARD

The award date is estimated to be no later than June 11, 2014
