About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is seeking qualified sources to provide Military Free Fall (MFF) Support Services to Explosive Ordnance Disposal Group Two (EODGRU TWO) under Navy Expeditionary Combat Command (NECC). This is a Sources Sought Notice and Request for Information (RFI) issued pursuant to FAR clause 52.215-3, intended for market research and planning purposes rather than as a formal solicitation. The procurement requires contractors to deliver comprehensive MFF training services including instruction in high-altitude low opening (HALO) and high-altitude high opening (HAHO) jump operations, with qualified instructors, parachute riggers, training facilities, aircraft, oxygen equipment, and full support services. Contractors must meet specific instructor qualifications and adhere to military parachuting safety protocols and standards as detailed in the draft Performance Work Statement. The RFI response deadline is January 9, 2026, and responses should include a capabilities statement addressing the government's specified requirements; notably, this announcement is not a commitment by the government and no payment will be provided for submitted information.
This procurement carries no small business set-aside designation. The anticipated contract type is firm-fixed-price (FFP), classified under NAICS code 611620 (Sports and Recreation Instruction) with a $9 million size standard and PSC code U099 (Other Education and Training Services). Performance is estimated to commence in April 2026 and will consist of a two-year base ordering period with an additional six-month option period. The government anticipates approximately 300 jump days annually, with students conducting between 23 and 36 MFF jumps from altitudes of 9,500 to 15,999 feet AGL. The training program spans 20 instructional days within each 26-day period, incorporating three weather days into the schedule to accommodate Arizona's climate conditions. No incumbent contractor or award value range is specified in this pre-solicitation notice.

This is a market research tool. The input provided will help the Navy ascertain the interest, capability, and capacity of potential businesses. If you are an interested business, NAVSUP FLC Norfolk appreciates your assistance in providing a capabilities statement addressing all the items below. Please limit your responses to the information being requested only. Standard company brochures will not be reviewed. Any technical questions and inquiries may be submitted within the response.

If the Government determines that a small business set-aside is appropriate and your company anticipates submitting a proposal as the prime contractor for a small business set-aside, please provide specific details and rationale as to how compliance with FAR clause 52.219-14 will be achieved, including specific details regarding teaming arrangements, and if subcontracts are to be used, provide the anticipated percentage of the effort to be subcontracted and whether small or large business subcontractors will be used.
