Viking Tactics Course: 2 days 8 hours

The City of Orlando Police Department is undertaking a sole-source procurement (Solicitation Number S25-0154) to contract Viking Tactics Inc. for a specialized tactical training program titled "Viking Tactics Course: 2 days 8 hours." Issued on December 23, 2024, this solicitation designates Viking Tactics Inc. as the exclusive provider of this high-level, law enforcement-focused tactical training service tailored for Orlando Police Department personnel. The training is to be delivered within the state of Florida during a performance window concluding on December 31, 2024. The procurement process includes a seven-calendar-day notice period allowing other potential suppliers to submit qualifications and capabilities by December 31, 2024, at 5:00 p.m. ET, to contest the sole-source designation via email to the designated Senior Purchasing Agent, Angela L. Thomas, who serves as the primary point of contact for all procurement communications. The solicitation documentation does not include detailed contract clauses, pricing schedules, or formal evaluation criteria, reflecting its current status as a pre-award notice. There are no references to Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) or Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) clauses, nor does it specify contractual requirements such as payment instructions, invoicing procedures beyond email submission, or any packaging, preservation, or marking standards. The scope centers on the provision and successful delivery of the training program without detailed performance metrics or certification requirements. Acceptance and inspection are expected to occur at Orlando Police Department facilities, where the government retains responsibility for evaluating the contractor’s compliance with the training scope. The procurement does not indicate competitive evaluation factors, socioeconomic certifications, or special contract requirements such as security clearances or organizational conflict of interest provisions. Overall, this intended award reflects a non-competitive acquisition grounded on vendor exclusivity and specialized service capability, with an open window for competing vendors to respond before award finalization.
