The Department of the Navy (DON), through the Naval Supply Systems Command Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk (NAVSUP FLT LOG CTR NORFOLK), has issued a Sources Sought Notice to conduct market research for the design and delivery of a comprehensive executive leadership development program. This initiative is intended to support the professional growth of senior leaders within the DON, including Senior Executive Service (SES) members, senior leaders, and scientific and professional personnel. The overarching goal is to enhance executive leadership competencies through structured, graduate and post-graduate level education programs that are closely aligned with the DON executive competency model.
The scope of this requirement encompasses the development and delivery of two customized, graduate-level executive education programs per 12-month period of performance (POP), specifically tailored for DON SES Tier 2 and Tier 3 leaders, as well as Tier 1 (Emerging Executive) leaders. In addition to these core programs, the contractor will be responsible for designing and facilitating six graduate-level leadership workshops annually, each tailored to the DON Competency Model. These offerings must incorporate academic leadership frameworks, evidence-based leadership development practices, and instructional methods consistent with those found in accredited institutions of higher education.
A key deliverable includes the provision of a Senior-Level Consultant who will serve as a subject matter expert in executive leadership development. This individual must possess a master’s degree or higher, a minimum of fifteen years of relevant experience, prior experience working with federal agencies, and a demonstrated understanding of the Department of Defense and DON senior leadership environment. Furthermore, the contractor must provide executive coaching support as required, with coaches holding International Coach Federation (ICF) certification or an equivalent globally recognized credential.
The anticipated period of performance for this requirement, including options, is from June 1, 2026, through May 31, 2030. While the majority of work will be performed at the contractor’s site, certain planning meetings, program events, and leadership workshops may be held at DON facilities, such as the Washington Naval Yard or other locations within the Washington, DC metropolitan area. Additionally, the contractor must be capable of delivering online offerings in a virtual environment, ensuring that content is accessible on-demand for at least 30 days following delivery.
The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this opportunity is 611310 (Colleges, Universities, and Professional Schools), and the Product Service Code is U009. The place of performance is Washington, District of Columbia.
