About this opportunity
The Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane is seeking Quality Management and Continuous Improvement Training through a sole source procurement with Quality Associates International, Inc. The training courses include Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP), Lean Six Sigma Black Belt Certification, Statistical Process Control, Eight Disciplines Problem Solving Workshop, Measurement System Analysis, and Design of Experiments. Each course will accommodate 10-24 students and will be conducted during normal working hours (0800-1600). The solicitation will be open from April 8, 2025, with quotes due by April 10, 2025, at 2:00 PM Eastern Time. Potential vendors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and can submit capability statements, though the government retains discretion on competitive procurement. Quotes should be emailed to Vanessa.m.evans7.civ@us.navy.mil and will be evaluated based on the vendor's ability to provide comprehensive, interconnected training courses.
The procurement is not set aside for any specific business category and has a maximum allowed per order of $250,000. The contract period extends through the end of FY30 (September 30, 2030), with the initial award focusing on the APQP course and potential options for additional courses. Vendors can submit quotes for a single course, multiple courses, or all courses within the contract. The justification for sole sourcing is based on the vendor's unique capability to provide a comprehensive, consistent training curriculum across multiple quality management disciplines. Performance will be at the NSWC Crane facility, with the government determining that using multiple vendors would result in curriculum gaps and inconsistent messaging. The procurement will be conducted under the simplified acquisition threshold, with the contracting officer certifying the accuracy of the justification and approving the sole source solicitation.
