NWC conducts advanced professional military education to prepare naval and joint leaders to think critically, apply strategic judgment, and operate effectively in complex security environments. For this mission, NWC uses assessment and awareness instruments to enhance the readiness, resilience, and leadership effectiveness of Naval Flag Officers and Senior Executive Service leaders.

To meet these objectives, NWC periodically engages commercially available human performance programs grounded in evidence-based approaches to physical, cognitive, and emotional performance.

These programs integrate nutrition, physical conditioning, injury risk reduction, sleep optimization, stress management, recovery strategies, and mental performance to sustain executive effectiveness at the highest levels of responsibility.

O2X specifically tailored the IFLEX and AFLEX Human Performance Workshops used by NWC in its curriculum to fit the specific needs as outlined by the faculty of NWC CLE. The workshops contribute to meeting the overall mission, which is guided by the CNO and VCNO, and will support the overall wants and needs of the Navy as a whole, as it pertains to Flag Officer and Senior Executive leadership development.

4. Statutory Authority Permitting Sole Source.

The statutory authority permitting this sole source action is 41 U.S.C. 1901, Simplified acquisition procedures - a sole source acquisition using simplified procedures for the acquisition of commercial products and/or commercial services, as implemented by FAR 12.102(b).

5. Rationale Justifying Use of Cited Statutory Authority.

Market research indicated that O2X is the only entity that can provide the required workshops. There is no other known vendor in the marketplace that can satisfy the government need.

O2X offers the unique ability to furnish multiple subject matter experts in different areas of the desired fields of mental and physical wellness for executive leadership. O2X has coordinated with NWC and built a custom curriculum and course presentation on mental and physical wellness as it pertains to executive level leadership to present to participants at an executive level for leadership development.

This custom curriculum and course presentation is completely unique to O2X. O2X also possesses the proprietary ownership of the information and continually manages any developments or revisions to the curriculum in line with NWC’s direction. The proposed workshop supports the overall mission tasked to USNWC CLE by the CNO/VCNO to plan and execute curriculum on flag and executive leadership and human development for IFLEX.

Historically, NWC has procured these courses through O2X under the following contracts in which all services were completed in a timely manner:
