The Department of Homeland Security's Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers (FLETC) has issued a Notice of Intent to award a sole source contract to HSI Emergency Care Solutions Inc for CPR/AED and first aid training materials. This special notice, posted on August 25, 2025, with a closing date of August 26, 2025, announces FLETC's intention to negotiate directly with HSI under FAR 13.106-1(b) as the only responsible source capable of providing the required training products. The procurement involves purchasing 21,000 total units of various HSI training materials including combo CPR/AED and first aid courses, adult first aid courses, and digital certification cards. The contract value totals $129,090.00 and falls under NAICS code 611430 for Professional and Management Development Training with a small business size standard of 1000 employees. FLETC requires these specific HSI products to support training programs for multiple federal agencies including CBP, ICE, USMS, NCIS, and other law enforcement training curricula.

The purpose of this procurement is to acquire proprietary HSI digital certification card packs and training materials that are essential for FLETC's Physical Techniques Division training programs. While this is not a competitive solicitation, the notice allows other parties to submit technical data and cost information by the August 26, 2025 deadline to demonstrate their capability in providing equivalent products. Any interested contractors must prove they can supply the same specialized training products that HSI manufactures exclusively. The government reserves full discretion to determine whether to proceed with competitive procurement based on any capability statements received. FLETC became an HSI ASHI-certified training facility, which necessitates the use of these specific proprietary training materials to maintain certification standards. Market research conducted by FLETC confirmed that HSI is the sole source capable of providing these required digital certification card packs for their comprehensive law enforcement training programs.
