Description:
NOTICE OF CONTRACT ACTION: The 412 Test Support Squadron (412 TENG/CL), Edwards AFB, CA intends to issue an award  on or about 21 Sep 2009 for an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with 5 year Period of Performance for the following contract line item:

CLIN 0001: Radar Systems Certificate and Electro-Optical and Infra-Red (EO/IR) Technology Certificate.

Award of contract is planned for no later than (NLT) 30 SEP 2009.

1.0 DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

1.1 Basic Service

The objective of this requirement is to obtain advanced training in Radar and Electro-Optical and Infra-Red (EO/IR) theory and technology for our engineering staff resulting in certification in Radar or EO/IR respectively. Certification will be based on completion of a minimum of 150 hours of instruction. Course should include both required core classes as well as elective classes to meet the required training hours. Radar and EO/IR Class Completion Certificates held currently by employees at Edwards AFB shall be accredited toward Radar and/or EO/IR Course Certificates. Each class will require the student to pass tests to demonstrate knowledge of the material.

1.2 Background

This training will enable our new engineers to quickly acquire the
technical knowledge to perform their assigned duties. Currently more than half of our
work force has less than five years experience and very few colleges or universities offer
classes in radar or EO/IR at the undergraduate level. Historically, we have relied on adhoc
and on the job training to supplement our new engineer's formal education.
However, with the influx of new engineers and the high level of attrition among our
senior staff, this approach is no longer adequate.

This requirement will allow a contract to supply this training utilizing certificate
programs already developed which will meet our immediate needs.

1.3 Course Requirements

1.3.1 The Radar Systems Certification Objectives consist of: (See Appendix B
for specific requirements for Certificate.)

• Access the latest research on radar systems
