About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command, specifically the 633rd Contracting Squadron at Langley AFB, is seeking to procure a sole source contract for facilitated analytical writing training services from Integrity ISR, LLC. The requirement involves delivering five virtual training sessions: four Analytic Writing 200 (Intermediate) courses and one Analytic Writing 300 (Advanced) course, each accommodating 15-20 students, along with a Computer Based Training (CBT) Writing 101 module. The training aims to address skill gaps in intelligence writing for the 363rd Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance Wing, focusing on developing advanced writing capabilities for less experienced intelligence analysts. The procurement will be conducted under Simplified Acquisition Procedures using FAR Part 13, with a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation approach. Interested parties must submit capability statements to Kelly Voigts at kelly.voigts.3@us.af.mil by 5:00 PM Eastern Time on December 26, 2024, with the understanding that the government retains sole discretion on pursuing competitive procurement.
The solicitation is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 611430, with a small business size standard of $15,000,000. The contract will be performed at Langley AFB, VA, with training sessions scheduled from January to August 2025. Each virtual training session will run 0800-1700 Monday through Friday, with students placed in TDY status to ensure availability. The courses will cover analytical writing characteristics, theoretical concepts, evidence evaluation, and argument synthesis, delivered electronically with PDF course materials. While the government intends to award the contract to Integrity ISR, LLC under FAR 6.302-1 as the sole responsible source, they are open to reviewing capability statements that demonstrate potential alternative providers. The performance period extends through December 23, 2024, with specific dates to be coordinated for each training session to accommodate the 363 ISRW's operational requirements.
