Marne Community Integration Program

The Department of the Army Materiel Command Mission and Installation Contracting Command is seeking a contractor to provide a comprehensive community integration training program for newly arrived soldiers in Savannah, Georgia. The primary objective is to immerse soldiers in the city's historical and military significance through structured educational tours. The contractor must supply qualified facilitators with extensive historical knowledge and provide all-weather transportation vehicles capable of navigating Savannah's narrow historic streets. Key requirements include conducting weekly 2-hour sessions that accommodate 35-75 participants, covering at least 10 designated historical locations, and facilitating guided discussions during transit. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on December 4, 2024, with responses due by December 11, 2024, indicating a short turnaround time for potential bidders to demonstrate their capabilities.

The contract is designated as a total small business set-aside, with the NAICS code 487110 for Scenic and Sightseeing Transportation, Land, and a size standard of $20.5 million. The period of performance will consist of one base year with two optional one-year extensions, with weekly sessions scheduled from 0900-1100 AM. Contractors must provide CDL-licensed drivers, maintain vehicles, and submit comprehensive quality control and contingency plans. While specific award value is not explicitly stated, the contract will require robust logistical capabilities, including all-weather transportation platforms, experienced tour facilitators, and the ability to conduct approximately 50 sessions annually. The government will provide participant numbers 30 days in advance, with final counts due 7 days prior to each session, and will implement charge-back provisions for late cancellations.
