The procurement is reserved for Government Affairs Institute, Inc., the sole identified provider, under FAR 12.102(a); however, the government solicits capability statements to evaluate whether to conduct this effort competitively.
The requirement spans Fiscal Year 2027 and calls for five virtual instructor-led congressional training courses delivered to NASA employees and leaders: two 2-day Congressional Operations sessions (51–80 participants each) on May 4–5 and August 3–4, 2027; two 1-day New Congress sessions (81–100 participants each) on February 2 and April 1, 2027; and one 1-day Congressional Update session (81–100 participants) on June 10, 2027. The vendor must provide interactive facilitation, pre-work materials, spotlight speakers, technology platform with dedicated technical producer, communications support, course agendas, participant evaluations, and attendance reporting. Training reinforces OPM Executive Core Qualifications 1 and 5 and develops understanding of congressional processes and legislative implications for NASA operations.
Performance occurs at NASA Kennedy Space Center. The procurement applies FAR Part 12 commercial item procedures under NAICS 611430 (Professional and Management Development Training). Interested organizations must submit capability statements only—not quotes—in writing to McKenzie Hanson, Procurement Specialist, at McKenzie.M.Hanson@nasa.gov, referencing the notice ID. Responses will be evaluated solely to determine competitive basis; the government retains discretion to proceed with sole-source award.
