About this opportunity

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command has awarded contract N0018926PB036 to SafeSide Prevention, LLC on a sole-source basis for suicide prevention training services on July 16, 2026.

The justification rests on SafeSide Prevention, LLC and its subcontractor, the University of Rochester School of Medicine, being the sole sources capable of executing the requirement. Both entities are the original developers and technical custodians of the specific curriculum, which was derived from a ten-year research and development initiative previously funded by the Department of the Air Force. The contracting officer determined that pursuing competitive procurement would require duplicating the original R&D investment (estimated in millions of dollars) and would result in unacceptable delays of multiple years, preventing the Department of the Navy from meeting Secretary of the Navy mandates to deploy a validated force-resiliency pilot by the end of fiscal year 2026.

The contract establishes a new requirement to provide comprehensive curriculum and implementation support to deliver, refine, and transition a resilience skills training program for Navy and Marine Corps personnel. The period of performance is a 12-month base period beginning July 20, 2026, followed by a 12-month option year, with decisions regarding full or partial implementation across the Department of the Navy to be made during the option period. The statutory authority cited is 41 U.S.C. 1901 (Simplified Acquisition Procedures). The contracting activity is NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk, acting on behalf of the Department of the Navy Office of Force Resiliency and the Suicide Prevention Response Task Force.
