About this opportunity
The Air Force Mortuary Affairs Operations (AFMAO) under the Department of the Air Force Air Mobility Command is seeking to procure a two-day professional workshop on advanced grief and loss care based on the proprietary "Companioning" model. The training is required for AFMAO personnel to ensure standardized, expert-level grief care support for families of fallen service members. Key contract requirements include comprehensive instruction covering the core philosophy and application of the Companioning model tailored to military death and traumatic loss contexts, interactive training with question-and-answer opportunities, and delivery of complete digital training materials (workbooks and handouts) one week prior to the event. The contractor must comply with Air Force records management requirements and coordinate installation access through the AFMAO point of contact in accordance with Dover Air Force Base security policies. The workshop is scheduled for May 4-5, 2026, at Dover Air Force Base, Delaware, and the pre-solicitation notice was posted on April 9, 2026, with a due date for questions or responses by April 20, 2026. This is a sole-source procurement based on market research determining that only one authorized and certified source can provide instruction on this specific proprietary methodology.
This contract opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside. The government will provide suitable training facilities, standard audio-visual equipment, travel and lodging arrangements for the presenter and one staff member, and a designated point of contact for logistical coordination. No specific award value or budget range is disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice. The contract will be firm-fixed-price, with performance deemed satisfactory upon successful completion of the two-day training as specified in the Performance Work Statement. No incumbent contractor or potential competing sources are identified, as this is structured as a sole-source award to the single authorized provider of Companioning model instruction. The NAICS category is Professional and Management Development Training (611430), and the PSC category is Education/Training—Training/Curriculum Development (U008).
