U.S. Army Continuing Education System (ACES) Centralized Education Support Services

The U.S. Army is issuing a Sources‑Sought Synopsis (W9124J‑26‑R‑ACES) to assess market capability for Continuing Education Program Support Services (ACES Centralized Education Support Services). The effort will provide comprehensive education support—including curriculum development, training event planning and execution, strategic needs assessments, monthly status reporting, and integration with existing Army education processes—across more than 70 sites in the CONUS, Japan, and Korea. Respondents must detail prior military education experience (prime or subcontractor), relevant certifications, and evidence of capability to meet the size, scope, complexity, and timeframe of similar contracts. The solicitation anticipates a Firm‑Fixed‑Price contract under NAICS 611710 (Educational Support Services) and seeks flexible, scalable solutions that comply with Army security and access‑control policies. Critical market data are also requested, such as commercial availability, pricing bases, delivery schedules, warranties, and recommendations for structuring the requirement to maximize competition among small businesses, including identification of any unnecessary competition‑restricting conditions. Interested firms—particularly small businesses in all socioeconomic categories—must submit a single‑page‑limit response (≤10 pages, single‑spaced, 12‑point font) via e‑mail by 12:00 p.m. CDT on 14 April 2026. Questions are due in writing by 12:00 p.m. CDT on 01 April 2026, with the subject line “W9124J‑26‑R‑ACES, U.S. Army Continuing Education System (ACES) Centralized Education Support Services.” The response must include financial‑stability plans for supporting payroll and operations for at least 90 days of potential payment delays, and detailed approaches to recruiting, qualifying, and retaining personnel meeting the stringent education and experience requirements (e.g., adult‑education counseling, ArmyIgnitED training, NACI investigation). This notice is for information and planning only; it does not constitute a solicitation, and no costs will be reimbursed.
