About this file
This is a Performance Work Statement (PWS) for resilience keynote speaker training services for the U.S. Pacific Fleet's Total Sailor: Fit to Fight (TSFTF) Workshops from February through December 2026.
The contractor must provide 34 hours of in-person keynote presentations tailored to four separate naval audiences: E6 and below Sailors, Officers and Chief Petty Officers (E7 and above), and command leadership ("TRIAD"). Training will focus on resilience, stress management, and suicide prevention across 13 geographic locations, including Hawaii, Japan, Guam, and multiple Washington and California naval installations. The keynote speaker must possess a minimum of five years' experience in DoD resilience training, speaker presentations for the Department of Defense, and eliminating stigmas related to mental health treatment. The speaker should have personal experience with resilience, mental health, or suicide—either as a survivor or having lost someone to suicide—to enhance credibility. Specific requirements include providing slide presentations and videos at least two weeks prior to training events, submitting after-action reports within five business days of each event, and delivering comprehensive feedback measurement mechanisms. The contractor is responsible for all travel expenses (transportation, meals, lodging) to both Continental U.S. and overseas locations. Quality assurance will be conducted through direct observation and TSFTF Workshop feedback forms. The Government Representative will coordinate logistics bi-weekly within two months of each training event start date and conduct performance reviews following each session. References from at least five Navy or DoD services within the last 3–5 years are required, and the speaker must provide a recent video demonstrating their training approach with the proposal.
