Equal Employment Opportunity Annual Refresher Course

The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) is preparing to procure Equal Employment Opportunity annual refresher training services and seeks small business capability statements by May 27, 2026 at 4:00 PM EDT. This is not a set-aside; however, DISA explicitly welcomes Small Disadvantaged Businesses, 8(a) certified firms, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, HUBZone, and Woman-Owned entities and states it is recompeting to identify alternative small business providers to the incumbent contractor, Training and Development Strategies, LLC.

DISA's Office of Equal Employment Opportunity Compliance requires an 8-hour annual refresher training program for approximately 30 staff members serving as EEO Specialists and Investigators over a three-year period, with two sessions per year (scheduled for July 22 and 24, 2025). Training must cover updates to EEO laws and regulations, recent legal precedents and EEOC Commission decisions, advanced investigative interviewing techniques, evidence collection, and nuances in harassment and retaliation claims, with strict alignment to EEOC Management Directive 110 and 29 CFR Part 1614.

Delivery must be Virtual Instructor-Led Training (VILT) with Section 508 accessibility compliance. Instructors must possess 5–10 years of direct federal EEO experience. Content must employ interactive methodologies incorporating case studies, mock scenarios, and Q&A sessions rather than passive lecture formats, and formal certificates of completion are required for all 30 participants.

Respondents must submit a capabilities statement of no more than three pages via email, including business name and address, company representative contact information, small business socioeconomic status, CAGE Code, curriculum alignment evidence, three examples of similar federal projects within the last three years with learner numbers, and instructional design methodology.
