The FBI is seeking a sole-source contract with the UFC for one year to provide hand-to-hand combat training to its agents. An official document reveals the agency believes the UFC is the only qualified provider for this specialized instruction. The potential contract would involve the UFC exclusively training FBI personnel in close-quarters combat techniques. This move raises questions about the bureau’s training priorities and its reliance on a commercial entity for skills traditionally taught in-house. The document does not detail the cost of the proposed training program, nor does it explain why other providers were not considered. This decision highlights a perceived gap in the FBI’s current training capabilities and a reliance on the expertise of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. The contract is currently under review.
