Services performed under this sole source contract will include the continuation of non-personal services to support the Mission Training Complex (MTC) to units stationed at and supported by Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM), and when required, Yakima Training Center (YTC), WA. No other contractor is in the position to assemble a large team of administrative, program management and subject matter experts (SMEs) who specialize in providing individual through collective Mission Command (MC} training, by the expiration of the current JBLM MTCCS Task Order performance period (19 NOV 24}.
