• Evidence-Based Curriculum: Content must be grounded in current empirical research on healthy relationships and tailored for military couples.


• Continuing Education Units (CEUs): The program must be accredited to provide CEUs for LCSWs, LMFTs, and Psychologists. The contractor shall be responsible for issuing certificates and, when directed, submitting earned credits to the appropriate professional bodies.


• Individualized, On-Demand Access: Each registered participant shall receive secure, uninterrupted access to the full training program and all associated materials for one (1) year from their individual registration date.


• Technical & Security Compliance: The platform must be Section 508 compliant for accessibility and hosted in an environment that is FedRAMP Moderate authorized or compliant with DoD Cloud Computing SRG Impact Level 2 (IL-2) or higher. All participant data shall be handled as Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).
