DESCRIPTION
This is a notice of intent to proceed with a sole source requirement simplified procedures. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Veterans Health Administration (VHA), National Center for PTSD (NCPTSD) has a requirement for a contractor to plan, coordinate, provide support for, and help deliver trainings for non-VA providers who treat Veterans on the topics of Military Culture, Assessment of PTSD, and Assessment and Management of Suicide Risk.
This requirement is to provide specialized education and consultation to providers who treat Veterans in any context with the goal of supporting the delivery of evidence-based care for Veterans with PTSD, regardless of where they receive mental health treatment.

The desired outcome is to bridge training gaps identified among community (non-VA) providers in the areas of military culture, PTSD assessment, and the management of co-occurring suicide risk. This is a highly specialized training that requires extensive knowledge of PTSD assessment, military culture and Veteran mental health and recovery.
