Description
NAVAIR Orlando Training Systems Division 12350 Research Parkway Orlando FL 32626 NOTIFICATION OF PRE-SOLICITATION ENGINEERING PLANT OPERATORS CONTINUUM (EPOC) On 2 March 2006, NAVAIR Orlando Training Systems Division posted a Sources/Sought Market Survey stipulating the need for the following requirement: ?to support the Center for Naval Engineering (CNE) acquiring the development of asynchronous self-paced training materials for use in the Navy - Integrated Learning Environment (ILE). In the execution of their broad and diverse mission, CNE has a requirement to provide a revised/enhanced, scenario-based curriculum in a self-paced interactive delivery format for the Journeyman skill level engineer(s) referred to as Engineering Plant Operators Course (EPOC). The current training is delivered via approximately 119 instructor-lead C, D, F, and G schools. The EPOC product to be purchased under this contract is to enhance cognitive skill development through a blended solution of re-engineered delivery techniques for Surface Engineering personnel assigned to the fleet. EPOC is to address the operator and maintenance skill objects required by the Surface Engineers of the Navy?s non-nuclear shipboard propulsion and auxiliary systems. This effort seeks to enhance the course through reduction of the instructor-led, classroom-based portion by delivering initial instruction and refresher training via self-paced Interactive Multimedia Instruction (IMI). As a result, this effort will require that all forms of instructional strategies, assessment strategies, delivery methods and media be considered in order to provide learning activities and events that will support learning behaviors at the highest level of cognition, including application, synthesis, and evaluation. The purpose for this announcement is to notify industry of the disposition for the EPOC Project, since the posting of the Notification of Planned Solicitation as revised 8 March 2006. 1.
