The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), operating under the Department of Defense, has issued a Special Notice indicating its intent to award a sole source, firm fixed price (FFP) purchase order to the National Contract Management Association (NCMA) for participation in the World Congress 2026 event. This procurement is scheduled to take place in Orlando, Florida, with performance anticipated from July 26, 2026, through July 30, 2026.
The primary purpose of this procurement is to secure access to the NCMA World Congress 2026, a premier event focused on professional and management development training within the contract management field. The event aligns with the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 611430, which pertains to Professional and Management Development Training, and is further classified under Product Service Code U005. The World Congress is recognized as a significant opportunity for professional growth, networking, and the dissemination of best practices in contract management, directly supporting the USACE’s mission to maintain a highly skilled and knowledgeable acquisition workforce.
The scope of this procurement is limited to the acquisition of services directly from NCMA, as the association does not authorize any resellers for this event. As such, the USACE intends to process this requirement under FAR Part 12, Commercial Items, and will not be issuing a competitive solicitation. The intended outcome is to provide USACE personnel with access to the full suite of training, workshops, and networking opportunities offered at the World Congress, thereby enhancing the agency’s contract management capabilities.
Key requirements and deliverables include the provision of event participation rights for USACE personnel, encompassing access to all relevant sessions, materials, and activities as defined by NCMA for the duration of the World Congress. The procurement is structured as a sole source action due to the unique nature of the event and the absence of alternative providers or authorized resellers.
The contracting entity for this procurement is the US Army Corps of Engineers, a major command within the Department of the Army. The place of performance is within the United States, specifically Orlando, FL. The procurement is not set aside for small businesses or any other socioeconomic category, as it is a sole source action.
Interested parties are advised that this notice is not a request for competitive proposals, and no solicitation will be issued. However, questions or concerns regarding this intent to sole source may be directed to the Contracting Officer, Giorgiana Chen ([email protected], 703-428-7131), or the Contract Specialist, Jordan Baker ([email protected], 703-428-6372). The USACE will not be responsible for any costs incurred in responding to this notice.
