Naval Special Warfare Resilience Program   4

Background
The United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM), Naval Special Warfare (NSW) has a requirement for non-personal Resilience Program Services to promote psychological resilience among NSW active duty members (SEAL, SWCC, EOD, support, mobilized reserve, individual augmentees) and their families.
Naval Special Warfare Command (NSWC) requires the contractor to develop, implement, analyze, evaluate, and revise an evidence-based resilience program to mitigate stress and strengthen Warriors and their families across the NSW community.
This approach aligns with Department of Defense initiatives emphasizing a continuum of care—primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention—and leverages validated instruments such as the Response to Stressful Experiences Scale (RSES).
The acquisition will be conducted as full and open competition. The Government intends to award a five-year Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity contract issuing Firm-Fixed-Price Task Orders.
