Section B: Description of the Supplies/Services Required

This acquisition is for a 12-month Speed of Trust training program provided by FranklinCovey. The framework encompasses a variety of products and services including assessment and measurement, consulting, training, implementation processes, and application tools. This will include a Learning at the Speed of Trust session with the Wing Executive Team and Speed of Trust sessions for the Squadron and Flight Leadership Teams.

Section C: Justification for Soliciting from a Single Source or Brand Name

10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), the property or services needed by the agency are available from only one responsible source or from a limited number of responsible sources and no other type of property or services will satisfy the needs of the agency, as implemented by FAR 6.302-1(a)(2), Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements, required by FAR 6.303-2(b)(4).

(2) When the supplies or services required by the agency are available from only one responsible source, or, for DoD, NASA, and the Coast Guard, from only one or a limited number of responsible sources, and no other type of supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements, full and open competition need not be provided for.

(ii) Supplies may be deemed to be available only from the original source in the case of a follow-on contract for the continued development or production of a major system or highly specialized equipment, including major components thereof, when it is likely that award to any other source would result in --

(A) Substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition, or

(B) Unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency's requirements. (See 10 U.S.C. 2304(d)(1)(B).

Due to the uniqueness of their approach, FranklinCovey is the only approved supplier of the training materials used in conjunction with its licensed programs. FranklinCovey leadership and organizational-oriented courses, services, materials, and the license for their use are available from FranklinCovey. They do not sell or provide information on any of their products or services to third parties or distributors. Due to rising suicide rates in the Air Force, guidance has been pushed to Wing Leadership to provide leadership training to leaders in the 341 Missile Wing. This training has proven to directly impact leadership at all levels and in different types of organizations, enabling more efficient and effective operations. The intent is to ensure maximum operational efficacy for the entire Missile Wing.

The Government is unable to compete this requirement because FranklinCovey is the sole source for their training courses and materials. They do not sell or provide information on their products or training services to third parties or distributors.

Section E: Steps to Preclude Future Single Source or Brand Name Awards

There are no steps to preclude future single source of this acquisition due to the fact that FranklinCovey is the sole source for their training courses and materials.

Section F: Contracting Officer's Determination

I have determined, in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), that the circumstances of this contract action deem only a single source is reasonably available.
