About this opportunity
The 82d Contracting Squadron at Sheppard Air Force Base, Texas, issued a Notice of Intent to Award on April 8, 2026, announcing its plan to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price order for Arbinger DIOM (Developing an Outward Mindset) Training to The Arbinger Company. This special notice was published by the Department of the Air Force Air Education and Training Command and represents a federal acquisition that will proceed without competitive bidding. The statutory authority permitting this sole-source action is 41 USC 1901, supported by an approved Single Source Justification. The anticipated award date is on or around April 14, 2026, with the NAICS code 611430 (Professional and Management Development Training) and a small business size standard of $15.0 million.
The purpose of this acquisition is to procure Arbinger training products, materials, on-site facilitation, participant workbooks, and online resources for members of the 782d Training Group and faculty members within the 82d Training Wing to support long-term leadership development plans. Interested parties must submit written responses by April 11, 2026—no later than 3 days from the posting date—to jamie.long.7@us.af.mil and carri.dulaney@us.af.mil, with clear and concise documentation of their capability to provide the required services. This notice explicitly states that a formal solicitation package will not be issued and that this is not a request for proposal or quotation; responses will be considered solely to determine whether future competitive procurement is warranted. The Arbinger Company qualifies as the sole provider because it is the exclusive owner and proprietor of the Outward Mindset training series and copyrighted materials, with Learning Cor Leadership, Inc. (Mindset4Results) as the only authorized reseller of Arbinger content.
