How to bid on Arbinger training courses for the Air Force at Hill AFB

What the Air Force is buying

The Department of the Air Force seeks Arbinger leadership, organizational culture, and professional development training for personnel at Hill AFB, Utah, and geographically dispersed locations. The required courses are Developing and Implementing an Outward Mindset, Outward Leadership, Outward Performance, and train-the-trainer sessions for those courses.

The agency intends to award a sole-source contract to The Arbinger Company, which it identifies as the original course developer and sole authorized distributor. Other responsible sources may still submit a capability statement and proposal for the agency to consider.

Deadline and what to prepare

The deadline is November 6, 2026, at 6:00 PM ET. The provided information does not state a submission method or explain what happens at the deadline, so check the solicitation for those instructions.

Who this opportunity may suit

This opportunity is most relevant to firms that can provide the specified Arbinger courses and vendor-authorized instructors. Because the agency identifies The Arbinger Company as the sole authorized distributor, other firms should assess whether they can demonstrate that they are authorized and responsible sources before preparing a response.

Respondents must identify whether they are a large business, 8(a) concern, women-owned small business, HUBZone small business, veteran-owned small business, or service-disabled veteran-owned small business. They must also state whether they are a US-owned or foreign-owned firm.
