Viking Tactics Course: 2 days 8 hours

The City of Orlando, specifically the Orlando Police Department (OPD), has issued a Sole Source Procurement Notice (S25-0154) for a Viking Tactics Course, a specialized tactical training program scheduled for Monday, December 23, 2024. The procurement opportunity involves a two-day, eight-hour intensive tactical training course to be delivered exclusively by Viking Tactics Inc. The primary objective of this procurement is to provide advanced tactical training for OPD personnel, with a focus on specialized skills and techniques. Interested alternative suppliers are invited to submit product information, statements of qualifications, and capabilities demonstrating their ability to provide comparable tactical training services. The submission deadline is Tuesday, December 31, 2024, at 5:00 p.m. (ET), with a seven-calendar-day window for potential vendors to respond via email to Angela Thomas at angela.thomas@orlando.gov. The procurement process allows for alternative suppliers to challenge the sole source designation by providing comprehensive evidence of their comparable training capabilities.

The sole source notice does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. No detailed information is provided regarding disadvantaged enterprise requirements or specific vendor classification preferences. The procurement documents do not disclose the potential award value or specific budget range for the tactical training course. While Viking Tactics Inc. is currently identified as the exclusive source, the notice leaves open the possibility for alternative vendors to demonstrate equivalent training capabilities. The scope appears limited to a single two-day training course for the Orlando Police Department, with no indication of broader procurement opportunities or multi-year contract provisions. The procurement is jurisdiction-specific, covering Orange County and the City of Orlando in Florida, and appears focused on a highly specialized tactical training engagement with potentially unique skills or methodologies offered by Viking Tactics Inc.
