NO ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME.  NO RESPONSE TO THIS SPECIAL NOTICE IS DESIRED OR REQUIRED.  NO STATEMENT OF WORK OR DRAFT SOLICITATION IS AVAILABLE FOR REVIEW AT THIS TIME.  IT IS ANTICIPATED THAT DOCUMENTS WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR REVIEW AS PART OF THE COMBINED SYNOPSIS/SOLICITATION POSTED ON THIS WEB SITE.

**Additional questions received in response to this Special Notice will not be answered.**

Q: Is this project considered a new requirement?

A: There currently no contract in place for combatives instruction services. NSWCEN has purchased services for combatives instruction in the past, so the type of instruction is not a new requirement in that sense. The combined synopsis/solicitation that is pending will have revised requirements from any previous contract.

NSWCEN had posted two solicitations with the intent to contract for combatives services; however both solicitations had to be cancelled due to considerable changes in the requirements of the Government that rendered these two solicitations invalid. Solicitation H92240-09-R-GN47 was cancelled in its entirety in AUG 2009. Solicitation H92240-10-R-0008 is pending official cancellation; notice will be posted by the Government regarding this cancellation.

In both of these cancelled solicitations the Government identified the incumbent as Dieter's Close Quarters Defense, Inc.
