About this opportunity

The 49th Contracting Squadron at Holloman Air Force Base, New Mexico, part of the Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command, has issued a Notice of Intent to award a single-source contract to Arbinger Institute, LLC. This notice falls under the authority of FAR 6.302-1(a)(2) and pertains to professional and management development training services. The procurement is classified under NAICS code 611430 with a small business size standard of $15 million. The notice was posted on August 12, 2025, and explicitly states that it is not a request for competitive quotations. The Air Force intends to proceed with a sole-source award arrangement for training and curriculum development services.

The primary purpose of this notice is to inform the contracting community of the government's intent to make a single-source award while providing an opportunity for other responsible sources to demonstrate their capabilities. Interested contractors may submit capability statements by the September 18, 2025 deadline for government review and consideration. The government will use these responses solely to determine whether to conduct a full and open competitive procurement or implement a small business set-aside competitive process instead of the planned sole-source award. All responsible sources are eligible to submit capability statements, though the government will not compensate contractors for any information provided in response to this announcement. The final decision on whether to compete this requirement remains at the government's discretion, regardless of the responses received.
