The Department of the Army Materiel Command Mission and Installation Contracting Command Fort Eustis is seeking two Faculty Instructors and Evaluators for the Department of Distance Education Second Year Studies Program at the U.S. Army War College in Carlisle Barracks, Pennsylvania. The solicitation is issued as a Request for Quotation under FAR 13.5 for instructors to support a comprehensive two-year Distance Education Program involving four online core courses, two summer resident courses, online elective development, and strategic research requirements. Qualified candidates must possess a master's degree in a relevant discipline, at least three years of faculty instruction experience at a senior service college, proficiency in learning management systems, and basic computer skills, with senior-level military education credentials preferred. The evaluation will utilize a trade-off analysis considering three primary factors: Technical qualifications (with six specific subfactors), Past Performance, and Price, with Technical and Past Performance weighted as approximately equal and more important than price. Questions must be submitted by May 28, 2025 at 7:30 a.m. EDT via email only, and quotes are due by June 18, 2025 at 8:30 a.m. EDT.

This procurement is designated as a Total Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS code 611310 (Colleges, Universities, and Professional Schools) with a small business size standard of $35,500,000. Vendors may quote for one or both instructor positions, but those offering two instructors are not guaranteed both positions nor given preferential treatment, as the government will award as many contracts as necessary to secure the highest quality instructors. Each instructor will be responsible for managing approximately 18 students per seminar, conducting approximately 1,100 hours of work per year (up to 1,600 hours with options), and supporting students through online discussion forums, writing feedback, resident course facilitation, and academic evaluation reports. The contract includes a base year beginning July 2025 and option years extending through July 2030, with various components including Second Year Studies instruction, resident courses, online electives, strategic research requirements, and battlefield staff rides. Performance will take place primarily through remote instruction with required travel to Carlisle Barracks, Pennsylvania for resident courses and other activities, with travel and accommodation costs borne by the contractor.
