NPTU Core Strength Single Source Justification_Redacted.pdf

This is a Single Source Justification document for a contract below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) for NPTU Core Strength Training, managed by the 628 CONS contracting activity. The requirement is for Core Strengths course materials as part of NPTU's Basic Coaching Course, including virtual and physical materials to certify 15 facilitators, with the purpose of promoting long-term behavior change by teaching how to connect people's "why" to their actions.

The justification explains that Personal Strengths Publishing LLC is the sole source because they already provide certified facilitators at NPTU, have distribution rights for the material, and switching vendors would not be cost effective. Market research included reviewing mandatory government sources, conducting an SBA Quick Market search using NAICS 611430, and posting a Sources Sought notice on SAM.gov for 8 days. While four responses were received, none met NPTU's requirements. The document indicates this will remain a sole source until new techniques and syllabus are required, and is signed by Contracting Officer Stephanie R. Woods on December 11, 2024.
