About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Space Command is seeking a contractor to provide Cyber Operations Formal Training Support (CyOFTS) III for the 39th Information Operations Squadron. The contract will support initial qualification training, USCYBERCOM 2000-level training, and advanced training for Total Force Airmen in Cyberspace and Information Operations. Key contract objectives include providing subject matter expertise, supporting training curriculum development, operating training systems, and managing personnel and facilities. The evaluation will use Tradeoff Source Selection procedures, with Past Performance significantly more important than Price, and technical acceptability as a prerequisite for award. Interested parties must submit questions by May 6, 2024, at 1500 Central Time to melissa.blair.2@us.af.mil, and proposals will be due electronically via DOD SAFE.
The contract is set aside as a competitive 8(a) procurement, with a 12-month base period from March 1, 2025, to February 28, 2026, and potential for four additional 12-month option periods. Offerors must submit a technical proposal addressing management and staffing approaches, a past performance proposal limited to 5 relevant contracts from the last 3 years, and a pricing proposal with a detailed labor matrix. The solicitation indicates a mix of firm-fixed-price and cost-no-fee Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs) covering labor, optional full-time employee support, contractor-acquired property, and travel expenses. While specific contract value was not disclosed, the comprehensive training support requirements suggest a substantial multi-year commitment for supporting critical cyber operations training capabilities.
