About this opportunity
The U.S. Air Force Academy issued a Notice of Intent to sole source Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training to LivingWorks Education USA Inc. by July 23, 2026. The Academy intends to award a firm-fixed-price contract for delivery of the 2-day LivingWorks safeTALK v.3 Training for Trainers and the 5-day LivingWorks ASIST v.12 Training for Trainers, including associated Learner Passes, curriculum guides, and licensing materials to develop internal trainer capacity.
The justification for sole sourcing is that LivingWorks Education USA Inc. is the exclusive owner, manufacturer, and provider of the ASIST and safeTALK curriculum. The Academy states that introducing a competing methodology would fragment its existing crisis response ecosystem, create conflicting protocols, and impose substantial retraining costs. Interested parties who believe they can provide equivalent products meeting all salient characteristics may submit a capability statement to the Contracting Officer by July 23, 2026, 10:00 AM MDT. The government reserves discretion not to conduct competitive procurement; capability statements will be evaluated solely to determine whether to pursue future competition. The procurement is classified under PSC U099 (Education/Training–Other) and NAICS 611710 (Educational Support Services) and conducted under FAR Part 12 authority for commercial products and services. An ombudsman, James Anderson, is available to address concerns from interested parties.
