U099 - U.S. Naval Community College (USNCC)Consortium for Integrated Academic Solutions (CIAS)

The Navy’s USNCC Consortium for Integrated Academic Solutions (CIAS) is issuing a Women‑Owned Small Business (WOSB) set‑aside Multiple‑Award IDIQ for commercial products and services to develop and expand high‑quality, naval‑relevant academic programs. The contract will support the creation of approximately 15‑20 associate‑degree programs, as well as embedded and stand‑alone certificates, micro‑credentials, and courses in technical and non‑technical fields, with the goal of providing low‑cost, scalable education for maritime services. The solicitation calls for firm‑fixed‑price proposals evaluated on a best‑value/trade‑off basis, and the Government may award up to 15 (or fewer/more) prime contractors, reserving the right to “on‑ramp” additional academic programs into a contractor’s base award or to add new prime contractors during performance. Offerors must submit a three‑volume proposal that includes a cover page (title, volume number, solicitation number, UEI, CAGE, POC information), a detailed table of contents, and concise responses to all solicitation requirements. Required content includes institutional characteristics (control, accreditation, veteran enrollment, online enrollment), a one‑page academic capability statement for each program field (Attachment II), a degree‑information form, risk‑mitigation analysis, and evidence of prior successful use of mitigation techniques. Proposals must comply with all referenced FAR/DFARS clauses (including NIST SP 800‑171, certified cost or pricing data, and authorized deviations), and will be subject to monthly progress reports, COR verification, and a Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan. Failure to provide the specified academic detail or adhere to the formatting/style requirements may result in disqualification of the associated program fields.
