Harvard Senior Executive Fellows Course

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is seeking to procure a specialized training opportunity for one senior executive to attend the Harvard Senior Executive Fellows Course at Harvard Kennedy School in Cambridge, MA. The course will run from March 31 through April 25, 2025, and will focus on strategic problem-solving, leadership development, and critical leadership issues for senior executives from various sectors. This is a sole source procurement under FAR 6.302, justified by the unique and proprietary nature of the curriculum, which incorporates Office of Personnel Management Executive Core Qualifications (ECQs) for Senior Executive Service. The solicitation (N0060425Q4013) will be awarded as a Firm-Fixed Price purchase order, with proposals due by February 8, 2025, at 1700 Pacific Time. Interested vendors must be registered in SAM.gov, and any questions can be directed to Robert Dunn at 808-473-7964 or robert.dunn@navy.mil.

The procurement is not set aside for any specific business category and will be conducted under NAICS code 611430 for Professional and Management Development Training, which has a small business size standard of $15M. The total procurement covers one individual's participation, including tuition, housing, curricular materials, and most meals, with payment to be processed through Wide Area Workflow (WAWF). Market research conducted by the Navy indicated that Harvard Kennedy School Executive Education is the only provider capable of meeting the specific curriculum requirements and timeline synchronization with organizational projects planned for Summer and Fall 2025. The place of performance is Cambridge, MA 02138, and the contract will be executed through the Fleet Logistics Center Pearl Harbor Regional Contracting Department. The training program is designed to provide an immersive four-week experience that addresses critical leadership development needs for senior executives across public sector, military, corporate, and nonprofit sectors.
