This is a SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE, pursuant to FAR Part 10 (Market Research) and is not a pre-solicitation notice or solicitation for proposals/quotations. This synopsis does not constitute a request for a proposal/quotation, nor does its issuance in any way restrict the Government as to its ultimate acquisition approach. The Government will neither award a contract solely on the basis of this notice, nor will it reimburse the contractor for any costs associated with preparing or submitting a response to this notice. Any information provided by the Government at this time is preliminary and may be updated or changed prior to release of a formal solicitation. The purpose of this Sources Sought Notice is to identify potential sources to obtain professional Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to provide professional reviews of literature, present webinar/seminar learning products in support of the prevention workforce community, develop program documentation in support of prevention programs, as well as conduct evaluations/analyses of prevention initiatives. This is an ongoing requirement, having started in 2020. Past contract support has used academia – professors, post-graduates, fellows and graduate students – in support of this type of requirement, with success. While the government is not mandating use from this labor pool type, this information is being provided to offer alternate methods for support. The scope is to establish effective oversight, and assessments of prevention programs by requesting the identification and assessment of mainstream literature on either suicide prevention or sexual violence prevention (sexual assault and sexual harassment), innovative presentations augmenting the professional development of the prevention workforce, program doctrine evaluation, and by providing actual evaluations of ongoing prevention program initiatives. A Firm Fixed Priced contract is anticipated to satisfy this requirement. The North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 611710. Firms possessing the requisite skills, resources and capabilities necessary to perform the stated requirement as a prime contractor are invited to respond to this notice via the submission of an executive summary. Submissions are not to exceed five (5) typewritten pages in no less than 12 font size. All comments/ideas will be considered, although any questions/comments/ideas will not be responded to directly. The goal of such feedback is to determine if a) a small business would be able to perform as a prime contractor, or b) any other sources other than the incumbent would be able to perform as a prime contractor. The submission should include the following information and reference 1301069681: 1. Company name, address, and point of contact with corresponding phone number and e-mail address 2. DUNS number, Cage Code, business size and classification 3. Capability statement displaying the contractor’s ability to provide the required services to include past performance information.

Relevant past performance is past performance of the same or similar scope and magnitude to the described requirement. Standard brochures and/or paraphrasing of this notice will not be considered sufficient to demonstrate the capabilities of an interested party. The Government requests that interested parties respond to this notice if applicable. The Government will use information received to determine the best acquisition strategy for this procurement. Data submitted in response to this notice will not be returned.
