Contracting Office (Code 400), hereby provides notice of its intent to award a sole-source, firm fixed price service contract to The Arbinger Company (dba The Arbinger Institute, LLC) (CAGE: 1UMN6).

INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE - This is a non-personnel services contract to provide Outward Mindset training for 14,350 employees over a three-year period for the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Maintenance Facility (PSNS & IMF). This training includes Developing and Implementing an Outward Mindset (DIOM) workshops, Outward Leadership (OL) workshops, and Outward Performance-Train The Trainer (TTT) Certification workshops. The Arbinger Company is the sole creator, owner, and authorized distributor of all products and services related to the Outward Mindset methodology. Arbinger’s training courses, curriculum, and delivery are proprietary and trademarked. Furthermore, employees from the four Naval Shipyards (PHNSY, PNSY, NNSY, and PSNS) interact and work closely together. As the other three shipyards and NAVSEA HQ have already deployed Arbinger's specific Outward Mindset methodologies, it is critically important that this personnel development initiative be consistent across all shipyards to maximize efficiency and effectiveness. Changing to a different system with different methodologies would require broad retraining efforts to ensure consistency, resulting in a substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition. The North American Industry System (NAICS) has been determined to be 611430 - Professional and Management Development Training.
