This is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) document for a federal contract action by the Department of the Air Force Safety Center.

The Air Force seeks to procure memberships with the National Safety Council (NSC) to support the professional development and continuing education requirements of approximately 255 Air Force Safety Professionals, including Active Duty Safety Officers (AFSECs), DAFCOMs, active duty personnel at the 150 level, and civilian safety staff. The NSC membership program provides access to select safety standards and professional safety training through the NSC Learning Management System, unlimited access to on-line NSC webinars, discounted rates for professional development courses and seminars, annual reports on member continuing education units (CEUs), digital copies of the Professional Safety Journal, and opportunities for professional development and attendance at NSC meetings with inter-service best practice sharing. The contracting activity is 377 MSG/PK, with the project designated as National Safety Council (NSC) Membership. The contract is dated June 24, 2026, and was signed by Rachel N. Copeland, GS-13, Contracting Officer.

The justification for single source procurement is based on DAFI 91-202 requirements mandating that Air Force safety professionals maintain education through yearly training providing CEUs, which NSC corporate membership uniquely fulfills. The Air Force determined that NSC is the only nationally recognized safety organization providing comprehensive access to safety standards and professional safety education and training. A market search confirmed no other safety organizations offer comparable corporate membership benefits, and NSC confirmed it is the sole provider of these licenses. The Air Force will continue monitoring other safety companies to preclude future single source awards.
