Franklin Covey Training

This Sources Sought notice is being posted to satisfy the requirement of Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement 206.302-1(d). The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Indian Head Division (NSWC IHD), Contracts Department, Code 02 intends to award a Sole Source contract for the purchase of the 4 Essential Roles of Leadership and Multipliers training classes with Franklin Covey (CAGE 1PJX8), 2202 Parkway Blvd, Salt Lake City, UT 84119-2099. Senior Leadership took the courses in 2017 and 2018, senior leadership determined both the 4 Essential Roles of Leadership and Multipliers trainings are valuable to develop a winning culture for NSWC IHD and determined that these courses should be provided to the workforce.  In order to ensure continuity in training of the workforce and senior leadership, it was determined that only Franklin Covey’s 4 Essential Roles of Leadership and Multipliers trainings would meet the command’s need.  The 4 Essential Roles of Leadership and Multipliers trainings are meant to accelerate the process of achieving trust within an organization. The 4 Essential Roles of Leadership training helps mid-senior level leadership consistently master the essential skills of: Building Trust and improving their own credibility. The Multipliers training helps leaders unlock the intelligence, energy, and untapped capabilities on their teams. 

These courses are proprietary to Franklin Covey and are not offered by another vendor.  Comparable courses developed by another offeror would not ensure the continuity in training required for the Command to maximize the effectiveness of the trainings already received.
