This announcement constitutes the only solicitation. Quotations are being requested and a separate written solicitation will not be issued. Synopsis/Solicitation N0017827Q6617 is issued as a Request for Quotation (RFQ). The provisions and clauses incorporated in this solicitation are those in effect through the Federal Acquisition Regulation and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement as of the date of issuance and are included in the attached SF 1449. This solicitation incorporates provisions and clauses by reference. The full text of provisions and clauses may be accessed electronically at www.acquisition.gov. For commercial acquisitions using simplified procedures under FAR Part 12 (DPCAP CD 2026-O0028), Buy American applies unless the value exceeds the applicable Trade Agreements threshold, in which case Trade Agreements apply – except where an exception applies. See the applicable clauses provided in the SF1449. The Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) intends to procure services manufactured by The Arbinger Company. See the attached Statement of Work. The Arbinger Company is located in Farmington, Utah. To design and create an effective curriculum, there would be a requirement of up to a twelve (12) month certification program for specialized training in instructional design that would be necessary for multiple team members. This estimate assumes individuals have an existing background in design with a bachelor’s degree in an applicable field. In conjunction with this requirement, the instructional design team would need an estimated fifteen (15) months of planning and organization to design a course capable of supporting a large organization. To adequately facilitate training, there would be an additional requirement to have a Master Facilitator. Providing this level of training requires additional certifications that take up to three (3) years of active facilitation plus several months of application and training. These additional expenses could not be recovered through full and open competition. In addition, there is no guarantee that an in-house design team and master facilitator could create and provide training that is comparable to the Outward Mindset ideology. This curriculum is only available via The Arbinger Company. All costs associated with this requirement must be included in the quoted price as separate line items (taxes excluded). This includes costs such as shipping and freight to Dahlgren, VA 22448-5114 or any tariff or duty charges. No additional costs may be added after award. Where applicable, DFARS 252.225-7013 (DPCAP CD 2026-O0041 Rev. 1), Duty-Free Entry, will be incorporated. The Government will utilize Simplified Acquisition Procedures, and the order will be issued on a firm fixed-price basis. All responsible offerors shall submit a quotation in response to this solicitation. By submission of a quotation, the offeror represents compliance with the applicable representations and certifications, which are incorporated by reference and completed in the System for Award Management (SAM), as applicable. Submission of a quotation shall constitute the offeror’s unconditional agreement to the terms and conditions of this solicitation. Quotes will only be accepted from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), or authorized re-sellers who have provided a Letter of Authorization. If the offeror is not the OEM, the offeror shall provide documentation from the OEM confirming that they are an authorized reseller or distributor of the item(s) quoted. For sole source requirements, this publication is not intended to suggest that quotes from sources other than the OEM will be accepted.

Quotations that take exception to the terms and conditions of this solicitation will be deemed non-compliant and rejected.
