This is a Sources Sought synopsis posted for market research purposes, to be used for preliminary planning purposes. THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION FOR PROPOSALS AND NO CONTRACT SHALL BE AWARDED FROM THIS SYNOPSIS. The NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk, Contracting Department, Philadelphia Office has a requirement on the behalf of the Commander Navy Recruiting Command (CNRC) for the use of gym/fitness facilities in support of potential Warrior Challenge Program (WCP) applicants. NRC requires facilities that have pool access and are in close proximity to one another (no greater than 10 minutes between the gym and access to a pool). These facilities will be used by potential WCP applicants to train to include swimming practice. The applicants are expected to train five times a week at various times throughout the month with applicants both supervised and unsupervised. The contractor shall make its training facilities available to the Navy to support the applicant’s development and preparation for receiving a contract in to the Navy WCP. The WCP encompasses SEAL, SWCC, DIVER, EOD, and AIRR programs and a complete training environment is required at all stages of the recruiting process. The performance standard test that the applicants must perform requires access to a pool within a specified time from when they complete the other gym based portions of the test. The Navy has 26 districts throughout the nation that have approximately 1,500 recruitment locations that are potential training locations in need of gym and pool access. Some stations are in close proximity to MWR facilities but most require use of commercial resources. The contractor’s gym facilities shall have weight and cardio capability and the pool must be at least 25 meters but ideal would be 50 meters in length with an on duty life guard. The commercial facilities must be available to the applicants without a government representative present. A draft copy of the Performance Work Statement (PWS) is provided with this synopsis.
