About this opportunity
The Defense Health Agency has published a Special Notice regarding the sole source award of contract HT001125C0074 for ASPAN/Clinical Skills for Nursing services. This notice, posted on July 14, 2025, follows Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.305(a) requirements to publicly disclose sole source contract awards. The contract was awarded to Elsevier, Inc. on July 14, 2025, and falls under the NAICS code 611430 for Professional and Management Development Training. The notice includes a redacted Justification and Approval (J&A) document that explains the rationale for the sole source procurement decision. This procurement relates to professional support services specifically for certifications and accreditations in the healthcare training sector.
The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to provide public transparency regarding the sole source contract award as required by federal procurement regulations. The notice includes a due date of July 15, 2025, though this appears to be an administrative deadline for the public disclosure rather than a solicitation deadline for contractors. Since this is a sole source award notification rather than an open solicitation, there are no eligibility criteria for contractors to participate, as the contract has already been awarded to Elsevier, Inc. The program involves clinical skills training and ASPAN (American Society of PeriAnesthesia Nurses) certification services, which are critical components of healthcare professional development within the Defense Health Agency's training initiatives. The attached redacted J&A document provides the government's justification for bypassing competitive bidding procedures for this specialized nursing education contract.
