- Description
- It is the intent of the Mission Installation Contracting Command MICC Mission Contracting Office - Fort Eustis, VA to contract for Lifelong Learning Center (LLC) for the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) Office of Capability Manager (TCM) Army Training Information System (ATIS), Fort Eustis, Virginia. The TCM-ATIS LLC support gives TRADOC the ability to create a training and education environment that takes advantage of major developments in information technologies and training and education methodologies. It provides the ability to support a force in transformation by providing relevant, standardized training and education, on demand, to the right Soldier, leader, or unit, at the teachable moment, regardless of location. The LLC Project specifically addresses that portion of TRADOC's mission to train and educate the Army's Soldiers; develop leaders; and support training in units. Key in the development of the lifelong learning process is ensuring the process is user-friendly. All players associated with the mission to train and educate the force will improve their ability to perform their jobs and more importantly, the Soldier and leader will benefit from a process that allows them to learn, grow, and achieve in their profession throughout their career, wherever they serve. The Lifelong Learning (LLL) blends the traditional resident education and distributed learning. It uses the most effective mix of locations, materials, and methods delivered just in time, on demand, and are adaptive to Soldiers and leaders, and mission requirements, regardless of location. The organizational structure for lifelong learning is a combination of hardware, software, facilities, connectivity and people providing lifelong learning materials, information and support to Department of Army (DA) Soldiers/leaders, both active and reserve, and civilians. Distance learning and web based education and training materials are tools of lifelong learning (are subsets of Lifelong Learning). The requirement include; (1) maintain the portals / knowledge networks (web link) from the LLC to the student, via AKO. The home page configuration is based on the AKO credentials of the Soldier/user and/or Common Access Card (CAC). The portal is a powerful content management solution allowing the proponent to establish controls over the content of each portion of their website. (2) Provide each LLC a digital library that supports storage of Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) and Functional Course lesson plans, programs of instruction (POIs), computer-based simulations, streaming video, and web-based training software and databases. The digital library shall also include a comprehensive search capability. (3) Maintain 365/24/7 support desk that shall provide assistance to users and / or direct calls to Subject Matter Experts (SME) that will assist users with technical or content issues and provide other LL material support as required. (4) The contractor shall maintain the student management database that enables the proponent institution to manage each Soldier's training plan and document his/her training progress from enlistment to end term of service (ETS)/retirement. (5) Provide VC support capability to reach out to remote locations to establish a relationship between the LLC and other training locations where proponent training is occurring. The VC support shall include coordinating training schedules, writing standard operating procedures (SOPs) for use of the LLC, and providing training in the use of the LLC technologies. (6) The contractor shall deliver technology-based documentation and support for production servers, development servers, collaborative servers (Digital Library; Staff and Faculty Collaboration), collaboration Software tools (Virtual Meetings; Virtual Soldier Support System), Testing Servers & Software Storage and Management (Includes All Software-Based Training Content [i.e., PC-Based Simulations and Interactive Multimedia Instructional Products). (7) Maintain Contractor program management to include overall management of the HTS program, projects, Contractor costs, Contractor personnel, quality control planning and execution, direction, and coordination and reviews. (8) Demonstrate flexibility in the performance of the requirement. The highly dynamic nature of the LLC mission and related perishable technologies and concepts may require some aspects of the tasks identified to be accelerated and support provided on short notice. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this solicitation is 541513, Computer Facilities Management Services. The Small Business Size Standard for this NAICS is $25.5 million. The Product Service Code is R699, Other Administrative Support Services. In accordance with FAR 19.203 (c) this solicitation will be a Total Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-aside. Interested contractors must be registered in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) at http://www.ccr.gov in order to be eligible for award. Interested contractors must complete the annual representations and certifications electronically via the Online Representation and Certifications Application (ORCA) website at http://orca.bpn.gov. The Government contemplates awarding a single award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contract with Hybrid Priced Task Orders. REMINDER: This is not a Request for Proposal; only a Presolicitation Notice. A solicitation will be issued at a later date. All interested parties shall respond to that announcement once it is published. All correspondence and questions regarding the requirement shall be directed to Oscar Clark via e-mail only at oscar.m.clark.civ@mail.mil.
