Synopsis:

Naval Air Warfare Systems, Orlando Training Systems Division, in support of the Center for Security Forces, intends to issue a contract modification to Magnum Firearms, under contract N61339-03-D-0163, on a sole-source basis due to only one known responsible source who can meet the requirement until the full scope of the requirement can be solicited competitively. This contract extension will provide for instructional support of Security Reaction Forces Basic (SRF-B), Security Reaction Forces - Advanced (SRF-A), Antiterrorism/Force Protection/Force Protection Training Supervisor (TRASUP), Small Arms Marksmanship Instructor (SAMI) and Non-Lethal Weapons Basic Instructor (NLW-BI) courses. The courses are taught on an instructor only basis at Pearl Harbor, HI and on an as required instructor only basis in Guam. This contract modification will extend the period of performance for the SRF-B, SRF-A, TRASUP, SAMI and NLW-BI courses from 31 May 2008 to 30 November 2008. Although more than one source may be able to fulfill the requirement, this would create substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through a competition for the short term extension of services. The SRF-B training will provide Navy personnel the fundamentals of watch standing and the use of weapons. The SRF-A training will provide personnel assigned to a security reaction force team the training and education for the prevention of threats, whether from the pier, small boat, or any other means from penetrating a unit in accordance with current naval directives under normal and emergency conditions. The TRASUP training will provide antiterrorism and force protection supervisors with the necessary knowledge and skills to oversee the day-to-day ATFP readiness of the unit and the ability to conduct initial and sustainment training for assigned ATFP personnel and function as the unit ATFP tactics, techniques and procedures subject matter experts. The SAMI training will provide Navy Enlisted Classification 0812, either ashore or afloat, and with NLW-BI, course graduates will be qualified as "basic instructors" and be certified to teach Pressure Point Control Techniques (PPCT), Empty Hand Control Techniques (EHCT), Handheld "Oleoresin Capsicum (OC)" (i.e. pepper spray) and batons and handcuffs (steel/flexi-cuffs). The proposed contract action is for services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all proposals received within 15 days after date of publication of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete with this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Contract Specialist, Bradley C. Johnson, at Bradley.c.johnson1@navy.mil or call (407) 380-4808.
