The Department of Energy intends to award a sole-source contract to a firm with experience working with both college swim teams as well as businesses, to provide “coaching” services to managers at the agency’s Carlsbad, N.M., field office.
The DOE’s Cincinnati-based Environmental Management Consolidated Business Center said in an online procurement notice, it intends to award a firm-fixed-price purchase order to MoonRaker Enterprises, LLC.
The procurement involves “leadership development and coaching services to develop the soft-skills for leading, coaching, engaging, and accountability to the front-line supervisors of the Carlsbad Field Office,” according to the notice.
At Exchange Monitor’s request, DOE forwarded a copy of the Moonraker webpage, levelupleadershipcoach.com. The schedule portion of the website shows the business held coaching sessions for DOE in October and November of 2022 as well as the DOE’s Carlsbad office in May. The Carlsbad office oversees the agency’s Waste Isolation Pilot Plant, which disposes of defense-related transuranic waste.
The website indicates the business is headed by Jeff Raker, the author of a business book titled “Now That’s a Great Question,” certified leadership coach and pastor.
“My clients comprise approximately 50% business leaders and 50% sports coaches and athletes,” according to the website. “Each month I am engaged with 20 to 30 individual clients,” most involved in competitive swimming but there are also executives at major companies such as Toyota, according to the website.
While it is not a request for proposals, parties that want to perform such services must submit a written capability statement by 5 p.m. Eastern Time on Friday June 30, by emailing DOE contract specialist Christopher Nettles, [email protected].
