Description

NOTICE OF INTENT TO ISSUE A SOLE SOURCE AWARD

The Department of War, Department of the Navy, Naval Supply Systems Command Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk, Regional Directorate, intends to award a firm-fixed-price purchase order on a sole-source basis to New Gnosis, Inc., Ashburn, Virginia, CAGE Code 25PQ7, for a two-day supervisory development workshop supporting Naval Supply Systems Command Weapon Systems Support (NAVSUP WSS), N52 Foreign Military Sales.

This notice is issued for informational and market research purposes only. This is not a request for competitive quotations, proposals, or offers. No solicitation will be issued because of this notice.

The Government intends to make award to New Gnosis, Inc. under the authority of FAR 12.102(a). The contemplated acquisition is for commercial services under FAR Part 12 and will use simplified acquisition procedures, as applicable.

The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 611430, Professional and Management Development Training. The applicable small-business size standard is $15.0 million. Offerors and interested parties are responsible for ensuring they are registered in the System for Award Management (SAM), as applicable, before award.

The Government anticipates award to New Gnosis, Inc. because the company is the only known responsible source capable of providing an existing, specialized supervisory-development curriculum tailored to the NAVSUP WSS/N52 Foreign Military Sales environment. The required workshop addresses the transition of experienced technical subject-matter experts into supervisory roles and focuses on clear expectations, accountability, constructive conflict management, performance discipline, and the challenges associated with supervising former peers and long-standing colleagues. New Gnosis’s discovery-based experiential learning approach is a key differentiator. Rather than relying primarily on lecture, generic supervisory content, or pre-packaged leadership models, New Gnosis creates structured learning environments in which supervisors practice leadership in real time. Participants engage in realistic leadership situations that mirror the pressures they face in their day-to-day roles, including ambiguity, authority, communication, accountability, conflict avoidance, group dynamics, and the challenge of leading former peers. This approach enables participants to observe their actual behavioral patterns as they occur, reflect on their impact, and identify practical changes they can apply immediately back in the workplace.

NAVSUP WSS is operating in an environment of organizational change, including return-to-office requirements, staffing reductions, and increased workload demands. The Government requires a two-day workshop that is available for deployment within the required timeframe and is tailored to the command’s specific supervisory and organizational challenges. Based on market research, New Gnosis, Inc. is the only known source with an existing curriculum that meets these requirements without substantial additional curriculum-development time, duplication of costs, or disruption to the required training schedule.

The anticipated award will be a firm-fixed-price purchase order. This notice incorporates provisions and clauses in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2026-01 and DFARS Change Notice 20250507. Applicable provisions and clauses will be identified in the resulting purchase order.

Interested parties that believe they can satisfy this requirement may submit a capability statement for the Government’s consideration. Capability statements are not quotations, proposals, or offers and will be used only to determine whether a competitive acquisition is warranted.

Capability statements shall not exceed two pages and must address the following:

1. Company Information: Legal business name, physical address, point of contact, telephone number, email address, CAGE code, and Unique Entity Identifier (UEI).


2. Business Status: Business size and applicable socioeconomic status or certifications.


3. Technical Capability: A detailed explanation of the firm’s ability to provide an existing two-day supervisory-development workshop tailored to peer-to-supervisor transition challenges, accountability, performance management, collaboration, conflict management, and workload pressures in a DoD or Navy command environment.


4. Curriculum Availability: Confirmation that the curriculum is already developed and can be delivered within the Government’s required schedule without material additional development time.


5. Relevant Past Performance: Examples of comparable leadership or supervisory-development training delivered within the past three years, preferably in a DoD, Navy, or similarly complex federal organizational environment.

Capability statements must be submitted by email no later than 1:00 P.M. Eastern Time, 21 October 2026, to:
