DCSA Learning Management Ecosystem and Learning Management Content Controller Hosting and Licenses

The Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA) intends to procure the Security Education and Training System (SETS) learning management ecosystem and learning management content controller hosting and licenses through a sole source contract with PowerTrain, Inc. The comprehensive system includes IL2 and IL4 Learning Management Systems, Security Awareness Hub, Contract Management, Agile Development, Systems Operations and Sustainment Support, Training Systems Support, Helpdesk Services, Reporting Tools and Data Analytics, plus optional Learning Management Content Controller licenses. The procurement is specifically designed to meet critical security and operational needs, including protection of classified information and delivery of essential training to DoD personnel, agencies, and industry participants in the National Industrial Security Program (NISP). DCSA justifies the sole source approach under 10 USC 2304(c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, citing that developing technical data packages for full competition cannot be completed in time for the June 2025 requirement date. While this is primarily an informational notice, responsible sources may submit technical capabilities within fifteen calendar days of the March 28, 2025 posting date for DCSA's consideration, with responses due by April 14, 2025.

This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and identifies PowerTrain, Inc., located in Hyattsville, Maryland, as the intended sole source contractor based on their existing technical knowledge and background with the DCSA Learning Ecosystem. The notice emphasizes that PowerTrain possesses the specialized expertise necessary to seamlessly perform the requirement and maintain the intricate system designed for specific security operations. The contract falls under NAICS code 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) and PSC code DA10 (IT and Telecom - Business Application/Application Development Software as a Service), indicating the technology-focused nature of the services. The government retains full discretion in determining whether to open the requirement to competition based on any responses received, though the notice suggests strong preference for proceeding with the sole source arrangement. No specific contract values, quantities, or detailed performance timelines beyond the June 2025 need date are disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice.
