Brighton CACFP Training

The Virginia Department of Health is procuring the Bright Track Training System from Brighton Training Group, an online training platform for the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) under Special Nutrition Program requirements, with a sole-source procurement approval submitted July 28, 2026 and VITA Supply Chain Management approval granted September 1, 2026.

This is a sole-source procurement — Brighton Training Group is the only vendor identified as providing comprehensive CACFP training to a broad user base with a SCORM-compliant system meeting federal child nutrition requirements at the stated price and quality level. VDH market research compared costs against three other state agencies and found no comparable product in the market segment.

The scope includes the Bright Track Training System with online training modules customizable to VDH branding, policies, and procedures; maintenance and course licensing; help desk services; user access provisioning; and integration with VDH's existing Child and Adult Meal Payment System (CHAAMPS). The platform is designed to reduce state costs for training development and delivery.

The estimated total cost, including renewal options, is $723,000, exceeding VDH's $250,000 delegated authority and requiring a Procurement Governance Request. The contract term and renewal option terms are not specified. Place of performance spans Richmond City and Roanoke City, Virginia. Renee Johnson at the Virginia Department of Health is the procurement contact.
