Enterprise Leadership Seminar(s)

The Air Force District of Washington (AFDW)/PKF intends to award a sole source contract to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill for the delivery of Enterprise Leadership Seminars under solicitation number FA701426QB019, using commercial acquisition procedures and other than full and open competition authorized by FAR 6.103-1, implemented through FAR 12.201-1 and 41 U.S.C. 1901, due to the university’s unique and irreplaceable capability to provide a customized executive leadership curriculum tailored specifically to the needs of senior Department of the Air Force and U.S. Space Force leaders. The program integrates strategic planning, innovation, ethical leadership, negotiation, decision-making, and organizational change with business acumen rooted in financial statement analysis, capital markets principles, and SEC filing interpretation, delivered through a hybrid format combining in-person, live virtual, and pre-recorded sessions to ensure broad accessibility. The sole-source justification highlights that no other institution can replicate the established curriculum, delivery model, or institutional expertise without incurring prohibitive development costs or compromising mission alignment, and the award builds on a prior contract history with UNC. This notice serves solely as a public disclosure of intent to award and is not a solicitation; interested parties may submit relevant capability information by 1:00 PM EDT on July 1, 2026, via email to Eric L. Moss at eric.moss.3@us.af.mil, though any such submissions will not obligate the government to compete the requirement, and the determination to proceed non-competitively remains entirely at the government’s discretion. The place of performance is Joint Base Andrews, Maryland, and while no contract value, period of performance, invoicing method, or payment details are disclosed, the acquisition is justified as necessary for mission readiness and leadership development, with compliance to FAR Part 5 ensured through public posting on SAM.gov. No formal evaluation factors, cost breakdowns, contract clauses, packaging requirements, inspection protocols, or offeror representations are included, consistent with the non-competitive nature of the acquisition, and the only certification provided is the contracting officer’s attestation of the accuracy and completeness of the sole source justification.
