The request includes 1,600 individual Workplace Reports and 50 Group Reports, both of which have specific technical requirements, such as global accessibility and ease of data analysis for faculty. The anticipated delivery date is October 1, 2024. Key points of contact for acceptance and financial matters are provided, ensuring a streamlined procurement process. This initiative reflects the Navy's commitment to investing in leadership development through evidence-based emotional intelligence assessments.
The Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) Fleet Logistics Center San Diego intends to award a sole source contract to Multi-Health Systems Inc for the procurement of Emotional Quotient-Inventory 2.0 Products. This contract supports the Navy Senior Leadership Seminar (NSLS), aimed at enhancing leadership and conflict resolution skills among senior Navy students.
