About this opportunity

The Air Force Installation Contracting Agency is conducting market research through a sources sought announcement to identify potential contractors for 4J Physical Medicine Apprentice Phase II Academic and Clinical Training within 15 miles of Joint Base San Antonio, Texas; responses are due by 4:00 PM EST on October 2, 2026. This is not a solicitation and does not commit the Government to award a contract.

The work involves delivering a Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education (CAPTE)-accredited Associate of Applied Science degree program for Air Force enlisted personnel in the 4J0X2 career field. The contractor must train 36 students annually across three cohorts of 12 students each over up to 180 academic training days per cohort within a 12-month period. Instruction occurs within a dedicated, closed-classroom environment separate from civilian students at a location in San Antonio, Texas, with clinical rotations at partner sites throughout the San Antonio metropolitan area. Course schedules must align with standard government duty hours (0700–1700 local time, Monday–Friday) and accommodate federal holidays.

The contractor must maintain continuous CAPTE accreditation, accept 18 transfer credit hours from the Community College of the Air Force Phase I program, and deliver 27 credit hours of Phase II coursework plus 20 core education credit hours (65 total). Performance requirements include an 85 percent minimum National Physical Therapy Examination pass rate and 90 percent minimum student retention and graduation rate per cohort. The contractor provides full campus resource access identical to civilian students, manages clinical placements with qualified clinical instructors, and covers all NPTE registration and examination fees. The Government retains full financial liability for tuition and fees for students removed for academic failure, disciplinary action, or military recall.

Interested parties should email responses to kenneth.cash.1@us.af.mil and zachery.dishong@us.af.mil, including company name, address, phone number, point of contact, CAGE code, company size status, and U.S. or foreign ownership status. Respondents must confirm receipt with the contracting office prior to the deadline.
