About this opportunity
The U.S. Department of State's National Foreign Affairs Training Center (NFATC) has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole-source contract to Blanchard Training and Development, Inc. The procurement is for CBC0208 Generic SLII Concepts Virtual Participant Kits with LBAII Online licenses, which serve as required participant materials for the mandatory supervisory course PT230 - Fundamentals of Supervision. The Leadership & Workforce Training Directorate is conducting this acquisition under FAR Part 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures with the expectation of awarding a firm-fixed price purchase order. This notice falls under NAICS code 611430 for Professional and Management Development Training.
The sole-source justification is based on Blanchard Training and Development being the exclusive publisher and copyright holder of the SLII Concepts program, making them the only provider capable of supplying the specific customized virtual participant kits required by the State Department's Learning Management System. While the government intends to negotiate on a sole-source basis, other vendors who believe they can meet the requirements may submit capability statements by August 13, 2025, at 10:00 AM EST to Contract Specialist Antonio Taylor at tayloram2@state.gov. The government retains sole discretion in determining whether to open the requirement to competition based on any responses received. This procurement supports the mandatory training of new Department of State supervisors through the Fundamentals of Supervision course, utilizing situational leadership assessment instruments as core educational materials.
