About this opportunity
The 82d Contracting Squadron at Sheppard Air Force Base, Texas, intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price purchase order for Critical Friends Group Training to National School Reform Faculty (Harmony School Corp), with an anticipated award date of August 7, 2026. This procurement uses the statutory authority under 10 USC 2304(c)(1), as implemented by FAR 13.106-1(b), and is supported by an approved Single Source Justification. This notice is not a solicitation; no solicitation package will be issued.
The Air Education and Training Command's market research identified Critical Friends Group Coaches Training as uniquely capable of meeting Sheppard AFB's requirement to train 15 instructors in competency-based facilitation methodologies tailored for technical school instruction. The justification establishes that the National School Reform Faculty is the only responsible source offering the in-depth facilitation training methods and nationally recognized certification the organization requires. Three prior successful training sessions with this vendor produced positive feedback from both new and experienced instructors regarding modern instructional techniques. Pryor Learning, the alternative identified in market research, offers only general facilitation skills training insufficient to meet the agency's specialized needs.
Interested parties must submit written capability statements via email to angie.dorsey.1@us.af.mil and carri.dulaney@us.af.mil no later than August 3, 2026. Responses will be evaluated solely to determine whether future competitive procurement is warranted. The applicable NAICS code is 611430; the SBA size standard is 15 million dollars.
