NASA/Johnson Space Center (JSC) has a requirement for Outdoor Leadership and Teambuilding Expedition Training for the Astronaut Office Station Operations Branch. This is a requirement for training that will take place from August 6-17, 2007, and will be conducted entirely in the remote wilderness with a sea kayaking curriculum. NASA/JSC intends to purchase this training from the National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS) on a sole source basis. NOLS offers teamwork and leadership training in a challenging outdoor environment and has the desired level of knowledge, expertise, and experience to conduct expedition and outdoor leadership training. NOLS expeditions offer a unique progression of leadership theory classes that are entirely delivered in remote wilderness. The combination of remoteness and focused leadership skill development provides distinct learning opportunities with synergies for teams facing extended space travel.
The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12.
