About this opportunity
Hill Air Force Base, operating under the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Air Force Sustainment Center, intends to procure direct CPR/AED/First Aid certification services through a sole source acquisition with the American Red Cross. The 75th Air Base Wing operates an existing in-house training program managed by government personnel and requires a direct certifying body to issue certifications and maintain compliance with Department of the Air Force Manuals 91-203 and 32-1065. This procurement is being conducted under FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii)(A) authority, with the government stating that no other sources can meet the current requirements without introducing unnecessary delays and duplicated costs. While all responsible sources may submit capability statements, proposals, or quotations for consideration, the government has determined that only the American Red Cross can fulfill these specific certification needs. The due date for responses is August 27, 2025, with responses posted on August 12, 2025.
This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and is classified under NAICS code 611699 for miscellaneous schools and instruction services. The government explicitly identifies the American Red Cross as the intended sole source contractor for this requirement, indicating they are the preferred and likely only viable option for providing these specialized certification services. The contract structure will be a 5-year Blanket Purchase Agreement, providing a long-term framework for ongoing certification services. The government emphasizes that this is not a request for proposal and will not reimburse any costs associated with responding to this presolicitation notice. The procurement falls under PSC category U099 for education and training services, reflecting the specialized nature of the certification requirements needed to support the Air Force's training operations.
Notice text
Hill Air Force Base (HAFB) intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source, the American Red Cross (ARC), for a 5 year Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) for direct CPR/AED/FA certification services. This requirement is being solicited on a sole source basis under the authority of FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii)(A).
The 75 ABW operates a mature, in-house training program, managed and delivered directly by government personnel. A direct certifying body is essential to issue certifications and ensure ongoing compliance with Department of the Air Force Manuals (DAFMAN) 91-203 and 32-1065. The 75 ABW is not seeking innovative training methods or administrative support for this program.
All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency; however, based on the analysis of requirements, the Government does not believe that any sources other than the American Red Cross can meet the current needs without introducing unnecessary delays and a duplication of cost and effort. Therefore, the Government intends to award a sole source contract to American Red Cross.
THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL (RFP). THE GOVERNMENT WILL NOT PAY FOR ANY COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH RESPONDING TO THIS PRESOLICITATION SYNOPSIS.
