Synopsis:

Naval Air Warfare Systems, Orlando Training Systems Division, in support of the Center for Security Forces, intends to issue a contract modification to San Diego City College, under contract N61339-03-D-0166, 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 the Security Reaction Forces Basic (SRF-B), Security Reaction Forces - Advanced (SRF-A), Antiterrorism/Force Protection Training Supervisor (TRASUP), Antiterrorism Officer (ATO), Small Arms Marksmanship Instructor (SAMI) and Non-Lethal Weapons Basic Instructor (NLW-BI) courses on an instructor only basis, and the Visit, Board, Search and Seizure Mechanical Breacher (VBSS MB) course on a turn-key basis, with the contractor providing all instructors, course materials, equipment and facilities. This contract modification will extend the period of performance for these 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 to 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 situations. The TRASUP training will provide antiterrorism and force protection (ATFP) supervisors with the necessary knowledge and skills to oversee the day-to-day ATFP readiness of the unit, conduct initial and sustainment training for assigned ATFP personnel and function as the unit Navy ATFP tactics, techniques and procedures subject matter experts. The ATO course will provide effective briefing techniques and practical introduction to Terrorism, Terrorist Operations, Detecting Terrorist Surveillence, Individual Protective Measures, Hostage Survival, Threat Detection, Security Officer/Department Duties, Equipment Selection, Legal Issues, Use of Deadly Force, Rules of Engagement, Threat Management, Access Control, Security Surveys, Physical Security Plans, Barriers, Lighting, Personnel and Vehicle movement, Community/Public Relations, Bomb Threat Planning and Exercise and Threatcom Management Implementation. The SAMI course will provide Navy personnel the training required to perform duties of a small arms instructor and earn a Navy Enlisted classification or 0812, either ashore or afloat. The NLW-BI course graduates will be qualified as "basic instructors" and be certified to teach pressure point control techniques (PPCT), Empty Hand Control Techniques (ECHT), Handheld "Oleoresin Capsicum (OC)(i.e. pepper spray), batons and handcuffs (steel/flexi-cuffs). The VBSS-MB course will provide safe and effective training to designated surfaceship NCB VBSS team personnel to perform duties as mechanical breacher, utilizing appropriate breaching tools and techniques against various targets during non-compliant Maritime Interdiction Operations. 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.
