DTCs RFQ Amendment 0001

NAVSUP FLC Philadelphia, on behalf of the Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command, is soliciting competitive proposals for Disruptive Technology Courses (DTCs) that provide senior leadership development training to 1-star and 2-star General Officers/Flag Officers and low-to-middle level Senior Executive Service (SES) civilians supporting the Joint Staff (J7) Directorate. The procurement seeks training services delivered in a hybrid format with up to four courses annually (one per quarter), each accommodating approximately 90 personnel through a combination of in-person attendance at the Pentagon and remote participation. Key requirements include the delivery of approximately 90-minute lecture-series briefings by Subject Matter Expert (SME) speakers covering critical technology areas, mandatory in-person attendance by Senior Fellows (retired General Officers/Flag Officers or senior civilians with current Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information clearances) and Program Manager/Strategic Operations Planner staff at the Pentagon for approximately two weeks surrounding each course execution, and contractor achievement of Level 2 Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) with potential handling of Controlled Unclassified Information. The solicitation requires contractors to describe their process for recruiting and vetting Senior Fellows post-award, with current staffing of four Experienced Senior Fellows to be expanded to six by the end of the base year. The due date for proposal submissions is April 27, 2026, with the base period of performance beginning July 1, 2026, and the first course anticipated in late August 2026.

This procurement is designated as a 100% Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-aside under the statutory authority of FAR 13.5 and 12.6, restricting competition to qualified SDVOSB firms. The contract operates under NAICS code 611430 (Professional and Management Development Training) and includes a base year plus four option years, with the base year encompassing four DTC executions requiring two Experienced Senior Fellows per course and potentially one Fellow in Training for certain offerings. Travel and Other Direct Costs (ODCs) are to be priced using Not-to-Exceed ceilings based on historical usage data, though specific award values or budget ranges are not disclosed in the available documentation. The solicitation identifies the requirement to recruit and support a total of six Senior Fellows by year-end, with contractors responsible for sponsoring clearance reinstatement at reimbursable cost for candidates who require clearance reinstatement. Performance of services will take place in the United States, with the Pentagon serving as the primary location for mandatory in-person staff attendance and course execution.
