Non-Criminal Barricade Training Classes

The City of Orlando, located in Orange County, Florida, is seeking a sole source procurement for Non-Criminal Barricade Training Classes through Solicitation Number S25-0055, specifically with Savage Training Group LLC. The training is a specialized law enforcement course entitled "Response to the Non-Criminal Barricade: Disengagement and Special Relationships", which provides officers with unique legal training focused on Florida-specific legal concepts. The course includes a comprehensive 3-page decision-making guide with risk/benefit analysis, dissemination of police agency disengagement policies, a sample police report template, and a "disengagement statement". Key deliverables include permanent access to a file-sharing service with additional legal resources and training on specialized Florida legal concepts such as "public duty doctrine", "special relationship" cases, and "zone of risk". The procurement timeline indicates a potential contract start date of Monday, October 28, 2024, with a response due date of Tuesday, November 5, 2024, at 5:00 p.m. (ET). The solicitation is structured as a seven-calendar-day sole source posting, during which alternative suppliers can submit product information, qualifications, and capabilities to demonstrate comparable service capabilities.

The sole source opportunity does not explicitly indicate set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. The procurement is open to potential alternative vendors who can demonstrate equivalent training capabilities, with communication directed to Senior Purchasing Agent Angela L. Thomas via email (angela.thomas@orlando.gov). While no specific budget range is provided, the opportunity is specifically for the Orlando Police Department's training needs. Savage Training Group LLC is positioned as the exclusive source, having submitted the training course outline to the US Patent and Trademark Office in 2020 and receiving registration as an original training program. The unique nature of the training, with its Florida-specific legal focus and comprehensive approach to non-criminal barricade scenarios, appears to be the primary justification for the sole source designation. Potential respondents are encouraged to provide detailed qualifications and capabilities if they believe they can offer comparable specialized training services.
