About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command seeks enrollment of three Captains in the University of Chicago Booth School of Business High-Performance Leadership executive education program, with proposals due July 10. This is a sole-source procurement under FAR Part 12 commercial services acquisition, restricted to the University of Chicago without competition.
Place of performance is Chicago, Illinois. The program runs July 20–24, 2026. The justification for sole source rests on the exclusive scheduling and organizational control exercised by the business school; the government states it has little to no input on program timing and location, and that Captains select from available sessions based on their own scheduling and location constraints. The Navy asserts no other program or session is acceptable as an alternative to meet the minimum requirement of developing advancing military leaders through premier business school instruction alongside government and private sector executives.
The NAICS code is 611310, Colleges, Universities, and Professional Schools. The PSC code is U099, Education/Training–Other. This is a Firm Fixed Price contract. The contracting activity is NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk, Mechanicsburg Office. Written challenges to the sole-source justification must demonstrate that an equivalent service exists meeting the government's stated needs and must be submitted to kaitlin.n.obrien.civ@us.navy.mil. The government reserves discretion to decline competition based on responses to this notice.

Any challenges to this sole source must be received in writing and sent to kaitlin.n.obrien.civ@us.navy.mil. To be considered by the Government, challenges must include information sufficient to enable the Government to make a determination that an equivalent service exists which would meet the Government's needs as stated herein. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed requirement based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
