NFA Leadership Series

The state of Oregon, specifically Union County, is seeking a qualified vendor to provide National Fire Academy (NFA) Leadership Series instruction. The contract opportunity, posted on December 18, 2023, and due on December 27, 2023, requires a vendor who meets specific certification requirements, including being DPSST NFPA Fire Officer IV certified and a current NFA contract instructor. The vendor must be approved to instruct three specific leadership classes: Leadership in Supervision: Creating Environments for Professional Growth (0646), Leadership in Supervision: Perspectives in Thinking (0647), and Leadership in Supervision: Frameworks to Success (0648). The procurement seeks a comprehensive instructional service where quoted prices must be all-inclusive, covering not only instruction but also all associated travel and lodging expenses. Evaluation criteria appear to be focused on certification qualifications, instructor approval status, and the ability to deliver the complete series of leadership courses with comprehensive cost coverage.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor types are explicitly mentioned in the contract opportunity details. The procurement does not indicate preferences for disadvantaged enterprises or provide information about incumbent vendors. Similarly, no specific budget range or potential award value is disclosed in the documentation. The contract appears to be narrowly focused on securing a highly qualified NFA-approved instructor with specific fire leadership training certifications who can deliver a precise set of leadership development courses. While the jurisdiction is Union County, the opportunity seems structured to attract specialized instructional talent with very specific professional credentials in fire service leadership training. The tight submission window and specific certification requirements suggest this is a targeted procurement seeking a very particular type of professional service provider.
