The selected contractor shall be responsible for purchasing all approved civilian and industry credentialing exams, course materials, exam preparation materials, and exam preparation courses/boot camps through various credentialing agencies and vendors on behalf of the AFCOOL Credentialing Program Office (CPO).

Program Beneficiaries: Payments for these exams, courses, and materials are strictly for approved enlisted personnel on active duty across the Regular Air Force (RegAF), United States Space Force, Air Force Reserve, and Air National Guard.

A pre-solicitation notice will be released at a later date to inform all interested parties when the official solicitation will be posted.

Official solicitation and documents

The full solicitation, any attachments, and the actual submission instructions live on the official listing, not on this page. Oppward summarizes public record data; it does not host or mirror the source documents.

Oppward is an independent service and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by SAM.gov or any government agency. This page is a plain-English summary of public record data; the linked source above is the authoritative listing.

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
Check the set-aside listed above and confirm your business actually qualifies for it before you spend time on a proposal. See our guide to set-asides if the category is unfamiliar.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
