The Department of the Navy (DON), Office of the General Counsel (OGC) requires services to support an Annual Training Symposium. The DON OGC has sponsored an annual training symposium for members of OGC for over thirty years, which contain two to three days of substantive legal training. The training symposium includes two days of plenary speakers and extensive breakout sessions, primarily on specific legal topics chosen for their relevance to issues facing the Department of Navy (DON). In addition, to minimize travel costs, most commands have command-specific meetings on one day and another day is devoted to specialized seminars in litigation, environmental law, and intellectual property. The symposium is designed to align members with senior Department, Navy, and Marine Corps goals, explore best practices, develop consistent legal strategies, and provide professional training that is necessary to satisfy the Continuing legal Education requirements that many of the attorneys must satisfy to remain in good standing with their legal licensing state bars. The DON OGC requires services to support an Annual Training Symposium for up to 550 people. The two-day or three-day event block will occur in April or May and not during the week of a Federal Holiday (e.g., Memorial Day). The symposium must be held within the Washington D.C. area to include Maryland and Virginia, with available taxi or hotel shuttle service to Reagan National, Baltimore Washington International or Dulles International Airports. The accommodating facility must be within 20 miles driving distance of the Pentagon. Additionally, the accommodating facility must be able to provide a complete meeting package, i.e., lodging, large general session meeting space, break out rooms for up to 6 simultaneous smaller sessions, parking for local attendees, and symposium services, to include audio-visual services.
