- Description
- The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) intends to issue a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to: CYA Associates, Inc., P.O. Box 175, Huntington, VT 05462 as a sole source not to exceed $50,000 to provide Information Technology (IT) on site training as listed. Orders will be placed against this BPA via the U.S. Department of Labor Training Authorization and Evaluation Form DL 1-101. The vendor will provide the BLS with the following training as required: -- SAS Fundamentals for Programmers: This 3-day course is designed to provide programming personnel and analysts with the skills necessary to produce simple reports and data sets as well as providing an understanding of how SAS manipulates and views data. The focus of the course is to consider SAS in the data processing environment and provide a strong background for programmers to tackle advanced SAS programming skills such as macros, SQL code and various procs. Practice in the application of the SAS concepts will be gained through the coding and testing of solutions to sample workshop problems. Both Batch and interactive programming will be covered. This course assumes that the student understands the basics of data processing and the use of their system editor. -- PC SAS Efficiencies Workshop: This 2-day course focuses on topics and tools used commonly in the PCSAS environment. The version 8 interface allows for easier data manipulation using PROC SQL for data retrieval within SAS programs from SAS datasets or external tables. Emphasis will be placed on extracting and manipulating data from multiple files or tables with simple and concise queries. -- SAS Macro Programming Workshop: Macros allow for more efficient coding of repetitive tasks and add significant flexibility to SAS code. This 2-day course is designed to provide the experienced SAS programmer with the skills necessary to define and call SAS Macros, define Macro variables and use automatic and user defined Macro variables. A variety of practical examples of Macros will be presented and solved in a lecture/workshop environment. -- SAS Report Writing Workshop: This 2-day course is designed for PC-SAS users creating sophisticated reports that can be used enterprise wide. The power Proc Report capabilities will covered as will as the new output delivery system under version eight; ODS w/HTML. Practice in the application of these concepts will be gained through the coding and testing of sample exercises. -- SAS OS 390 Efficiencies Workshop: This 2-day course is designed to provide programming personnel with the skills necessary to improve their understanding of how SAS views and manipulates data. Students will learn to manage and format the Data Libraries created using SAS. The focus of the course is to consider SAS in the data processing environment. Practice in the application of SAS concepts will be gained through the coding and testing of solutions to sample workshop problems. -- SAS Advanced Processing Workshop: This 3-day course is designed for the experienced SAS programmer who needs to solve more complex problems. The course builds upon the concepts presented in the SAS FUNDAMENTALS course. Emphasis is placed on efficient data manipulation in the Data Step using SAS functions and SAS programming statements. Data will be summarized both in the Data Step and through the use of PROC SUMMARY. This course also introduces macro variables. A variety of practical examples will be presented and solved in a lecture/workshop environment. -- TSO/ISPF Workshop (Introduction): This 3-day workshop course is designed for those who need to acquire a basic knowledge of ISPF. Emphasis is placed on editing files and productivity tools. The student will learn to access the system resources to edit and execute under TSO/ISPF. Upon successful completion, you will be able to navigate through TSO and maximize the capabilities of the ISPF editor. The vendor will develop and deliver training services for the BLS as follows: -- Developing and providing classroom training and seminars in courses in the BLS IT training curricula, emerging technologies, software management, and other important IT-related topics; -- Developing and delivering superior course content; -- Providing a BLS on-site library of current course materials; descriptions, outlines and prerequisites; -- Ensuring that course materials reflect current BLS standards. The vendor will provide all services associated with delivering quality training for system developers, analysts, computer specialists, end-users, managers, and project leaders who require a comprehensive understanding of the subject material. The training is to provide participants with new capabilities to significantly improve the way complex systems are analyzed, designed, developed, and implemented. This notice is for information purposes only. No solicitation will be available. The Bureau of Labor Statistics will proceed with the BPA if no responses are received within fifteen(15) days of this notification. Correspondence must reference this notification number.
