LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE PROGRAM (LEP)
Solicitation # 80NSSC27947456Q
The NASA Shared Services Center is soliciting quotes for the Leadership Experience Program (LEP) under solicitation 80NSSC27947456Q. This effort seeks to establish multiple five-year Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) with qualifying organizations to provide immersive training for high-potential NASA leaders (GS-13 to GS-15). The program aims to embed these leaders within aerospace, aviation, defense, and academic research organizations to exchange best practices in technical decision-making and organizational effectiveness. Immersions must last between two weeks (minimum 70 hours) and six months, taking place on-site at the contractor's facilities. Key requirements include pairing participants with an executive sponsor at the VP, Director, Dean, or Principal Investigator level and providing a comprehensive technical approach document for each engagement. This is a full and open market competition evaluated on a Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable (LPTA) basis. To be considered, offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and provide a quote that demonstrates technical acceptability regarding the Statement of Work. While past performance may be submitted, it is not a formal evaluation factor. The period of performance begins in November 2026 and includes a base year with four subsequent option years. Due to the nature of the training, payments are authorized prior to the start of each immersion and are not contingent upon post-performance satisfaction scores. All quotes must be submitted to Tiffany Neal by October 28, 2026, and must reference the solicitation number in the email subject line.
