    Description

    The Department of Defense seeks experienced vendors for the Cyber Center of Excellence Instructor Training Support Services program based at Fort Eisenhower, Georgia. The primary goal is to procure specialized training and doctrine development services for military personnel in the domains of cyberspace operations, electronic warfare, and signal communications. To achieve this, the government seeks capability statements from small businesses demonstrating their aptitude in delivering comprehensive training solutions, as outlined in the Performance Work Statement and accompanying technical exhibits.

    The requirement for expert instruction aligns with the military's focus on enhancing its cybersecurity posture and defensive capabilities. Vendors must possess specialized certifications and qualifications, and some roles require US citizenship and Secret clearances. The extensive scope, totaling over 497,000 annual hours, encompasses doctrine writing, instructional services, and program management, with task orders providing specific details.

    The contract, carrying a potential value of up to $249 million, offers a flexible engagement through a multiple award, indefinite-delivery mechanism. Vendors should prepare for meticulous government oversight and a detailed evaluation process. Deadlines and key dates will be communicated later in the procurement cycle.

    For more information, interested parties can contact Jared Maunz or Laura Wallace at the MICC-FDO FT EUSTIS office.
