This C2, CAT, CWD, and DL contract will provide contract academic training, courseware development, distance learning services, and staff support services for the Control and Reporting Centers (CRCs), Air Defense Sectors (ADSs), and Air Operations Centers (AOCs) missions at various locations in the ACC and the Pacific Air Force (PACAF) Command, and for the Grounds Systems Section of the C2ISR Operations Division of the ACC Air and Space Operations Directorate at Langley AFB, Virginia. The specific tasks for the contract are divided into the following four categories: (1) Major Command (MAJCOM)/Unit Staff Support including Distributed Mission Operations (DMO), (2) CRC CAT, (3) CWD, and (4) DL Services. The C2ISR Operations Division of the ACC Air and Space Operations Directorate (ACC/A3Y) requires on-going operational services to improve organizational policy development, program and/or project management and administration; to provide technical and analytical tools; and to improve the operation of systems supporting the mission. In regard to CRC CAT, the contractor shall conduct academic and training device instruction in support of formal course syllabi, training plans, event lesson plans, and training device instruction for course students at the CRC formal training unit (FTU) at Luke AFB, Arizona. In regard to CWD, contractor personnel will produce, update, and revise classified and unclassified CRC, ADS, and AOC courseware to support academic and training device instruction, and crewmember duty/mission-generated training requirements covered under the contract. In regard to DL, the contractor will provide the most effective DL architecture required to deploy, manage, and assess a web-based training environment in both synchronous (real-time, on-line) and asynchronous (on-demand, off-line) delivery systems. This acquisition will be set-aside for small business concerns based on Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 19.502-2, Total Small Business Set-Asides.
