The Performance Work Statement outlines the requirements for the Fire Truck Mechanic Training Program, initiated by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command Midlant (NAVFAC MIDLANT). This program aims to address the pressing need for technical training related to fire truck maintenance and repair due to increasing complexity in firefighting technology and significant repair costs incurred, estimated at $2 million in FY24. The training will enhance the skills of NAVFAC MIDLANT Public Works Department (PWD) Transportation employees across several locations, including Naval Support Activity Crane and Norfolk Naval Shipyard. The contractor is tasked with providing various specific classes, which will be selected based on demand, covering topics such as air brake troubleshooting, chassis electrical systems, and preventive maintenance. The training delivery will occur through both group classes at government shops and individual courses at vendor facilities, scheduled as needed with prior approval.

The memorandum outlines the decision to solicit procurement for Emergency Vehicle Technician (EVT) training classes for Navy-owned Pierce and Oshkosh fire trucks using non-competitive bidding under the simplified acquisition threshold. It cites the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) provisions allowing contracting officers to justify using a single source based on factors like proprietary rights, exclusive licensing agreements, and urgency. The training is crucial for ensuring compliance with National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and Department of Transportation (DOT) standards, as only Atlantic Emergency Solutions, the sole authorized dealer within 50 miles, can provide the necessary on-hands training and specific firefighting materials. Without this authorized training, the maintenance and operation of the fire trucks would be compromised, potentially jeopardizing critical firefighting capabilities. The document emphasizes the importance of timely training initiation, which is needed within 30 days of contract award, to avoid operational disruptions. This acquisition highlights the necessity for specialized training and compliance with established standards, pointing to the importance of using authorized vendors for government contracts.
