Mountainview Consulting Group conducted all of the initial training and implementation of the AF BHOP and developed the copyrighted model. Mountainview Consulting Group?s model is currently the only model with empirical evidence of both effectiveness and wide consumer and provider acceptance thus, the rationale for adopting this model.

He has successfully established and continues to maintain key contacts, collaborative partnerships and effective working relationships throughout the AF for which he has earned a positive reputation as the recognized BHOP POC. More recently he was selected as the DoD BHOP expert consultation for the implementation of this model across all of the military services. His designated role as the BHOP Training Consultant has been incorporated into all AF presentation and resource materials, all written program products and in all training materials and training manuals produced, distributed and currently in use. Moreover, Dr. Strosahl assisted in the development of all training materials and resource materials that are currently in use for this program throughout the AFMS. Note: All of the written materials used in BHOP were developed with Dr. Strosahl through use of his copyrighted materials. Dr. Strosahl is required for program continuity and fidelity, economic stewardship and consistency of currently existing and widely disseminated published products and resources, and for assurance of proper training of clinicians. This is vital to ensure that patients are receiving the appropriate level of care and the model is being appropriately implemented therefore, he is the only one responsible source and no other services will satisfy this agency requirement. The 311 Human Systems Wing/PKBA intends to award a purchase order by other than full and open competition in accordance with Subpart 6.302-1. Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. This notice is not a request for competitive proposals. A determination not to compete this proposed procurement was made because BHOP is the only model specifically used by the Air Force community. Questions should be directed to Robert T.
