About this opportunity
Naval Sea Systems Command seeks educational services for the Norfolk Naval Shipyard apprenticeship program, with quotations due September 25, 2026 at 3:00 PM EST. The Government intends to contract on a sole source basis with Tidewater Community College under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 1901; this is not a competitive procurement.
Place of performance is Portsmouth, Virginia. The contractor must be regionally accredited and maintain accreditation throughout the contract period and deliver formalized online (90%) and in-person (10%) academic training resulting in an Associate's degree and Trade Technician Career Studies Certification in Maritime Trade Technician. The program serves approximately 250 apprentices annually across four cohorts in a four-year hybrid apprenticeship program requiring a minimum of 144 classroom instruction hours annually, 2,000 hours of on-the-job learning, and 7,200 total hours across four years in compliance with 29 USC 50 and Department of Labor standards under 20 CFR Part 29.
The base period runs January 11, 2027 through January 10, 2028, with one optional year through January 10, 2029. Contract line items include apprenticeship programming for 250 students at 12 credit hours per session (Spring and Fall 2027) and 9 credit hours for Fall 2028, plus technical course fees across specified disciplines (CAD, electrical, industrial, mathematics, mechanical, welding). Invoicing uses a standardized all-inclusive in-state tuition rate per credit hour not to exceed $200.40 for trade-specific courses. All contractor personnel requiring base access must obtain DBIDS cards and demonstrate U.S. citizenship. In-person classes must occur between 5:00 PM and 9:00 PM on campuses within 25 miles of NNSY, with approximately 24 students per class and a maximum of 30 per instructor. Quotations must remain valid for 60 days and include completed representations and certifications, firm fixed pricing for each line item, and technical capability statement. The NAICS code is 611310 with a small business standard of $34.5 million; PSC is U006. Price is evaluated for fairness and reasonableness.
