110 Seats You Fill or Credit Back

The Army competed this requirement in 2023. Fifteen companies bid, one won, and $4,464,612 went on the contract the day it was awarded.

Eleven months later the Army took every dollar of it back.

So it picked a different winner, obligated $4,475,478 to that one, and terminated the contract for convenience seven months after that.

Between them, the 2023 competition produced $181,516.65 of net obligations and no instructor hours. $100,297.58 of that was a settlement of the second winner's protest costs.

The incumbent nobody ever got to compete against has taken $29,290,094.77 on a sole-source bridge (chart below).

Friday night at 21:20 Zulu, attempt three went on the street.

Questions close Wednesday 15 October at 11:00, five per company, no multipart, and anything without a section, paragraph and page reference may simply not get answered.

The scope is combat medic instruction at the Army's Medical Simulation Training Centers, and the staffing table is the contract.

110 FTEs across 25 site rows in two labor categories: 38 paramedics, 72 EMTs, all of them 0800 to 1700, Monday through Friday. Twenty of those seats sit outside the lower 48, at Camp Humphreys, Vilseck, Schofield Barracks and Fort Wainwright.

Single award, firm-fixed-price, base plus four one-year options plus a priced 52.217-8 six-month tail. The only cost line is travel, and the Government plugged it at $1,000 a month.
