DISC Assessments for Frontline Leader Readiness Program (FLRP)

The Internal Revenue Service has published a Special Notice for DISC Assessments to support their Frontline Leader Readiness Program (FLRP). The IRS intends to conduct a sole source procurement with Leadership Resources Consulting, LLC under statutory authority U.S.C. 253(c)(1), citing that the government's minimum needs can best be satisfied by services available from one source. This announcement serves as notice of the government's intent to negotiate with only one source rather than conduct competitive bidding. The procurement falls under the Professional and Management Development Training NAICS category and involves Education/Training services. Interested parties have until June 18, 2025, at 2:00 PM Pacific Standard Time to respond and express their interest and capability.

The primary purpose of this procurement is to provide 400 TTI Success Insights DISC Behavior Reports for the IRS Frontline Leader Readiness Program, designed to help future leaders understand their behavioral styles across four key dimensions to improve communication and productivity. The contract structure includes a base year from August 1, 2025, through July 31, 2026, with two additional one-year option periods extending through July 31, 2028. Contractors interested in expressing capability must respond by the June 18, 2025 deadline, though this notice explicitly states it is not a request for competitive quotes. The government retains sole discretion to determine whether to open the requirement to competition based on responses received. Participants in the program will complete online self-assessments and receive personalized 20+ page reports that will be debriefed by certified DISC trainers in classroom settings.
