A.02.06 - JA Sole Source Part 6 Redacted - FY25 District LDP 2 Instructor-Facilitator.pdf

This is a Justification and Approval (J&A) document for a non-competitive contract for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Charleston District. The contract is for a FY25 District LDP 2 Instructor-Facilitator to provide professional training and leadership development services for up to 16 Corps of Engineers employees from the Charleston and Wilmington Districts. The program will run from October 2025 to May 2026, involving six training sessions totaling approximately 72 hours of instruction over 1.5 days per session, delivered across North and South Carolina.

The total estimated value of the contract is redacted, and the procurement is being justified under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(2) for unusual and compelling urgency. Market research conducted on July 8, 2025, using the SBA's Dynamic Small Business Search engine found 463 companies under the NAICS code 611430 in South Carolina, which was narrowed to 6 vendors using "training" and "leadership" keywords. The government recommends awarding the contract to the incumbent contractor due to the tight timeframe and the effort needed to develop a new training program, which could potentially jeopardize meeting the required award timeline.
