Intent to Award Sole/Single Source - American College of Preventive Medicine (ACPM) In-Service Exams

The Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole source purchase order to the American College of Preventive Medicine (ACPM) for in-service exams and board review courses. This procurement will support the United States Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine under the NAICS code 611740 for Education Support Services. The notice is authorized under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) and explicitly states it is not a request for competitive proposals. The issuing agency is the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory, specifically the Air Force Research Laboratory division. The contracting office has made clear that any decision to make this requirement competitive based on responses received is entirely at the government's discretion.

The primary purpose of this notice is to inform potential contractors of the government's intention to proceed with a non-competitive award while providing an opportunity for other vendors to demonstrate their capabilities before the final decision. Interested parties must submit responses by September 29, 2025 at 10:00 AM Eastern Time via email to jessica.briggs@us.af.mil with the specific subject line "In-Service Exams - ACPM." The government will only consider responses received by this deadline and has specified strict email requirements, including acceptable file formats limited to PDF, DOC, DOCX, XLS, or XLSX, while prohibiting ZIP or EXE files that may be filtered by their security systems. Any contractor seeking to challenge the sole source approach must provide information demonstrating their ability to fulfill the specialized requirement for ACPM in-service exams and board review courses for aerospace medicine training.
