The Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) intends to award a sole source firm fixed-price contract to VitalSmarts for its Crucial Conversations Online Course. This course will teach DoDEA employees how to approach and constructively handle sensitive, important conversations with people in the workplace with whom they differ. The course is offered asynchronously - the training material is available whenever the participant wishes to enter the website. As a result, this course is just as available to supervisors and managers in the Pacific Region and Europe Region as those in headquarters located in Alexandria, Virginia, avoiding the perpetual time-difference challenges DoDEA faces in providing training to its employees.
