About this opportunity
The Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD), under the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command, is soliciting for weaponeering training courses and related instructional materials. The procurement includes four Introduction to Weaponeering courses, one Advanced Weaponeering course, and associated reference books covering topics such as weapon delivery accuracy, warhead lethality, target vulnerability, and specialized targeting techniques for various target types. A key requirement is that the training must maintain instructional consistency in methodology, terminology, and analytical rigor with previously delivered instruction, and courses must be led by Professor Morris R. Driels, who has been identified as the sole qualified instructor for this specialized subject matter. The government will evaluate proposals based on the contractor's ability to meet the detailed Statement of Work requirements, including course delivery parameters such as maximum class sizes of 30 students and operating hours from 0800-1600, with flexibility for in-person or virtual attendance options. The solicitation was posted on January 8, 2026, with a response due date of January 9, 2026, allowing only one business day for proposal submission.
This is a sole-source procurement with no small business set-aside, and the current contractor is Worldwide Counter Threat Solutions (WCTS), located in Fredericksburg, Virginia, which manufactures the specified training materials and courses. The specific deliverables include two Introductory to Weaponeering courses, 60 copies of the "Weaponeering: An Introduction" book, one Advanced Weaponeering course, and 30 copies of the "Advanced Weaponeering" hardcover book across fiscal years 2026 and 2027. While no explicit award value is stated in the solicitation documents, the requirement represents a specialized, multi-year training engagement with a defined student capacity and material production component. All materials must be Trade Agreements Act (TAA) compliant. The place of performance is Dahlgren, Virginia, where the contractor will coordinate with the government's technical point of contact to schedule and deliver the training at one of three designated facilities in that location.
