NASA Glenn Research Center (GRC) has a requirement for the workshop entitled “Organization and Systems Development Workshop”. It is GRC’s intent to sole source this procurement to Gestalt Institute of Cleveland, Inc. (GIC). GIC’s OSD Center offers a series of awareness and skill-building workshops that help participants increase their effectiveness in interactions and interventions within Organizations. GIC is renowned for their development of individuals in providing OD services. Through the efforts of market research it was found that Gestalt is the only local organization that can provide specifically these types of services.
Today, GIC is the world’s largest institute, and one of the finest, for the study, development, and application of Gestalt theory. Its professional and personal development programs draw participants from all over the world. GIC faculty and graduates innovatively apply Gestalt principles to psychotherapy as well as to business, health care, educational, governmental, community, and religious organizations.
GRC finds that it would be in the best advantage of the Government to award this procurement to GIC due to the market research results and is the only vendor able to provide this workshop.
