LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE PROGRAM (LEP)
Solicitation # 80NSSC27947456Q
The NASA Shared Services Center is soliciting quotes for the Leadership Experience Program (LEP) under solicitation number 80NSSC27947456Q. This effort seeks to establish multiple five-year Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) with qualifying aerospace, aviation, defense, and academic research organizations. The program is designed to immerse high-potential NASA leaders (GS-13 to GS-15) into external organizations to exchange best practices in technical decision-making and organizational effectiveness. Each immersion session must last between two weeks (70 hours) and six months, with participants paired with an executive sponsor for mentorship. Performance is primarily on-site at contractor facilities, with a preference for those near NASA's ten main centers. The contract is a firm-fixed-price agreement with an initial period starting in November 2026 and four subsequent option years. Award will be based on the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) basis, requiring offerors to demonstrate technical acceptability and provide a cost-per-person breakdown. Key deliverables include a technical approach document, executive sponsor biographies, and logistical coordination for each participant. Additionally, a formal Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) must be signed between the contractor and each NASA learner to address proprietary information, safety, and conduct. Interested companies must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and submit their quotes, including their CAGE code and UEI, to Tiffany Neal by October 23, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. CT. All submissions must reference the solicitation number in the email subject line. The program's success will be measured through post-immersion participant surveys assessing alignment with learning objectives and overall programmatic value.
