U009--Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy Training

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 21 (VISN 21) is seeking Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy Training services for 20 mental health clinicians. The training must be conducted by an EMDRIA-certified instructor and approved by the EMDR International Association (EMDRIA), with the primary objective of increasing access to specialized PTSD treatment through virtual delivery. The core training requirements include mastering the Adaptive Information Processing approach, the eight phases of EMDR therapy, and its application across diverse patient populations, including telehealth adaptations. Interested vendors must submit market research information including company details, informal quotes, authorized distributor letters, capabilities statements, business size information, DUNS numbers, and existing IDIQ contract details. The response deadline is July 11, 2025, at 15:00 Pacific Time, with submissions directed to bruce.lundvall@va.gov.

This procurement opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 611430 (Professional and Management Development Training) and PSC code U009 (Education/Training- General). The training will be delivered virtually in two three-day sessions during Fiscal Year 2025, specifically targeting 20 mental health clinical staff members. The training location is identified as the Sacramento VA Medical Center, though the virtual format allows for remote participation. No incumbent contractors or specific award values are mentioned in the sources sought notice, as this represents a market research phase rather than a formal solicitation. The solicitation number 36C26125Q0645 indicates this is part of the VA's strategic procurement planning process to determine the most appropriate acquisition strategy for this specialized mental health training requirement.
