KPMG Ignition Training

NASA's Shared Services Center issued a sole-source justification notice on May 5, 2026, for KPMG Ignition Training, with a deadline of May 7, 2026, at 12:00 p.m. Central Standard Time for interested organizations to submit capabilities statements. The agency intends to procure training services exclusively from KPMG LLP under FAR 12.102(a), determining KPMG as the sole provider of this specific program. Performance will occur at NASA Stennis Space Center in Mississippi.

The three-day, in-person training program is designed to accelerate alignment between civil servants and contractors, strengthen innovation culture, and streamline approval processes aligned with NASA Procedural Requirements and Space Policy Requirement. Day 1 focuses on stakeholder mapping and team identity using the MAGIC framework. Day 2 addresses approval process mapping and prioritization framework development compliant with NPR/SPR requirements. Day 3 covers innovation activation through scenario sprints and Pixar-style storytelling culminating in presentations. The contractor must provide qualified facilitators, conduct stakeholder interviews, and deliver training materials, journey maps, approval pathway documentation, concept posters, and a comprehensive debrief package with owners and next-step roadmap.

NASA will procure commercial items under FAR Part 12. The estimated cost ranges from $20,000 to $60,000 depending on facilitation depth. The procurement may utilize GSA MAS GS00F275CA or GSA GWAC 47QRCA25DU208. Written capability submissions will be evaluated solely to determine whether the government will proceed with competition; the government retains discretion to conduct full and open competition based on responses received.
