About this opportunity
The U.S. Coast Guard seeks procurement and allocation of 13,333 Wiley-EPIC DiSC credits (Product Number W-800) for its Leadership Development Center, with quotations due September 8, 2026, at 8:00 AM Eastern Time. This procurement is a total small business set-aside and incorporates a sole-source justification under FAR 12.102(a), Class Deviation 25-21, based on the DiSC assessment's unique integration into established FORCECOM-approved curriculum; substituting an alternative tool would require curriculum redesign, instructor retraining, and course revalidation.
Place of performance is New London, Connecticut (37 Mohegan Avenue, USCG-LDC). The NAICS code is 611430, Professional and Management Development Training, with a small business size standard of $15 million. PSC code is U099.
The contractor must procure authentic credits through authorized commercial channels and allocate them to the existing USCG-LDC Wiley-EPIC administrator account within 5 business days of contract award, with written confirmation of allocation. The DiSC assessment supports seven approved leadership courses serving approximately 1,410 students annually, including the Chief Petty Officer Academy, Senior Enlisted Leadership Course, Mid-Grade Officer and Civilian Transition Course, Senior Leader Transition Course, Leadership and Management School, and Apprentice Leadership Program.
Award will be made on a firm-fixed-price basis to the lowest-priced technically acceptable offer. Technical acceptability is evaluated pass/fail, requiring demonstrated ability to provide authentic credits, complete allocation within five business days, deliver written confirmation, and provide standard commercial administrative support with one business day response time to government support requests. Prices must be held firm for 30 calendar days from response date. Quotations must include Volume 1 (pricing) and Volume 2 (technical proposal not exceeding 30 pages) submitted via email to john.h.caicedo2@uscg.mil with the solicitation number in the subject line.

The following factors will be used to evaluate offers:
- Technical Acceptability
- Price

A Firm-Fixed Price contract will be awarded to the responsible offeror whose offer fully conforms to this solicitation and is determined to be the most advantageous, considering price and other factors. The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with Offerors. Therefore, the Offeror’s initial offer should contain the Offeror’s best terms. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions, if necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest, accept other than the lowest offer, and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.
The anticipated award date is 10 days after solicitation closing date. Only one purchase order is anticipated resulting from this RFQ, however the Government reserves the right to withdraw, modify, or eliminate various aspects of the requirement determined to be too costly or impractical prior to award.
