About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Air Mobility Command, specifically the 628th Contracting Squadron at Joint Base Charleston in South Carolina, has issued a Special Notice of Intent to Sole-Source a contract with Personal Strengths Publishing, LLC. The notice pertains to a Core Strength Training program that will include online training credits, online assessments, physical learner guides, and fifteen instructor certifications with accompanying toolkits. The contract will be awarded under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1, which allows for sole-source procurement when only one responsible source can satisfy agency requirements. The procurement is classified under the Professional and Management Development Training NAICS category and the Education/Training category. Market research was conducted, including a Sources Sought notice on SAM.gov, which yielded four responses that did not meet the specific needs of the Nuclear Power Training Unit (NPTU).
Contractors interested in this opportunity may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation to be considered by the agency, with a strict deadline of December 29, 2024, at 12:00 PM EST. The submissions should be sent to Contract Specialist SSgt Patrick J. Thomas and Contracting Officer Mrs. Stephanie R. Woods via their official military email addresses. While this is a sole-source notice, the government is open to alternative proposals that can meet the precise requirements of the Core Strength Training program. The objective of the training is to promote long-term behavior change by teaching participants how to connect their personal motivations to actions. Eligibility for consideration requires potential contractors to demonstrate the ability to provide comprehensive training materials, facilitate instructor certifications, and meet the specific curriculum needs of the NPTU's Basic Coaching Course. The current sole-source arrangement with Personal Strengths Publishing LLC is based on their existing relationship, distribution rights, and cost-effectiveness of maintaining the current training provider.
