Safety, Health, and Environmental and Emergency Management Training

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk is seeking qualified sources for safety, health, environmental, and emergency management training services through the Naval Safety and Environmental Training Center (NAVSAFENVTRACEN). The pre-solicitation notice focuses on identifying contractors capable of delivering professional training courses, specifically a Fire Protection and Life Safety training program (A-493-0075) across multiple locations including Norfolk, San Diego, Jacksonville, Pearl Harbor, Port Hueneme, and international sites in Italy and Japan. Interested vendors must submit responses by 2:00pm EST on December 19, 2024, with a 10-page capability statement that includes company information, CAGE code, business size status, SAM.GOV registration, and relevant past performance from the last 5 years. Contractor qualifications include having instructors with specific educational and professional experience backgrounds, such as a 4-year degree with 5 years of experience or 10 years of direct fire protection and life safety experience. The government will evaluate responses based on the ability to meet training requirements, including maintaining a maximum class size of 30 students and ensuring students achieve a minimum 75% score to graduate.

The pre-solicitation notice indicates no specific set-aside has been determined, though the NAICS code 611430 (Professional and Management Development Training) has a small business size standard of $15M. The contract structure includes a base year and four option years, with an estimated 10 courses per year and a potential 6-month extension requiring 5 additional courses. Vendors proposing as small business prime contractors must demonstrate the ability to meet a 50% small business performance requirement. The draft Performance Work Statement suggests the training program will cover comprehensive topics including Life Safety Code (NFPA 101), means of egress, fire extinguishing systems, evacuation plans, and DOD fire protection standards. While no specific award value is mentioned, the multi-year contract structure and broad training requirements indicate a potentially significant procurement opportunity for qualified training providers with expertise in safety and emergency management education.
