U--Training and Recruiting services

The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) plans to award a sole source purchase order to the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) to participate in the 2012 SWE annual conference and recruiting event. This decision is based on FAR Subpart 6.302-1, which allows for non-competitive procurement when only one source is available. The SWE conference is identified as a high visibility event by the NAVSEA Enterprise Talent Management Office, aligning closely with NAVSEA’s mission to attract and cultivate talent. Since SWE solely sponsors this conference, they are uniquely positioned to provide the specialized recruiting and training services needed. This sole source procurement will enable NAVSEA to leverage the event as a strategic platform to enhance potential candidates’ understanding of NAVSEA and its career opportunities. Through participation in the conference, NAVSEA aims to improve outreach and attract qualified talent to support its mission. The contract falls under the NAICS code 611710, which covers educational support services, and was initially posted as a presolicitation in June 2012. The engagement underscores NAVSEA’s commitment to targeted recruitment efforts through partnerships with professional organizations.
