Combat Skills Courses of Instruction

This sole-source justification (F25-254) supports awarding a three-year contract to Raven Advisory, LLC, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), for combat skills training courses for Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal Group TWO (EODGRU TWO). The training encompasses various skills including small arms, land navigation, and close-quarters battle, delivered through three course options: a 12-day EOD Operator Course, a 5-day Enabler course, and a 5-day Driver Training course. The contract requires a single training complex within 300 miles of Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek, meeting stringent facility and range requirements, including noise restrictions and billeting capabilities. A Sources Sought notice yielded seven responses, but only Raven Advisory, LLC met all the technical requirements, particularly those concerning facility capabilities and noise restrictions. The anticipated cost is deemed fair and reasonable. Future competition will be assessed as new market entrants emerge.
