This announcement constitutes the only solicita tion; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued.

This solicitation is a full and open unrestricted, firm fixed price type procurement, NAICS Code 611420. Th is requirement is for Windows 2000 Training to be taught to approximately 845 employees on-site at TACOM-RI located on the Rock Island Arsenal, Rock Island, Illinois. The performance work statement follows: 1. The contractor will conduct a structured curriculum of Windows 2000 ? Level 1 training for the United States Army Tank-automotive and Armaments Command-Rock Island (TACOM-RI) workforce. Only vendors that have been providing this type of training for a period of at least six months and are Microsoft Certified Trainers are eligible to respond with a quotation. Due to the fact that our workforce presently uses Windows 95 and has worked in this environment for some time now, employees do not need signif icant training in the very basic computer skills. The curriculum will cover at a minimum: a. Overview ? Short comparison of Windows 95x to Windows 2000 noting differences. b. The Windows 2000 Environment: Very brief Right/Left Mouse explanation and usage. Logging on to your Workstation; the Windows 2000 Desktop; the taskbar and the start menu; working with an open window; and using help. c. Working with the Windows 2000 Hierarchy: An introduction to the windows 2000 hierarchy; my computer, my net work places; the search feature. d. Working with Windows 2000 Programs: An orientation to Windows 2000 programs; cutting, copying, and pasting in Windows 2000 programs. e. System Tools (Defrag & Scandisk) and/or working with shortcuts. 2. Classes wil l be taught on-site in a government provided classroom. The classroom will contain 15 computers loaded with Windows 2000 software. Classes will be no more than 4 hours in length and class size will consist of 10-12 students. The classes will be taught ?just in time? to coincide with the delivery of the new operating system (class will be conducted the same week as delivery). Classes will be taught Monday ?
