- 693JJ318R000028 Synopsis Non-Personal Services For Ongoing Course Development And Update, Development Of Training Material, And Related Technical And Administrative Support Services. This is a Pre-Solicitation notice (synopsis) for a competition restricted exclusively to the Small Business Administration's (SBA) 8(a) program. The National Highway Institute (NHI) which is part of the FHWA Office of Technical Services (OTS), has a requirement for non-personal services for ongoing course development and update, training material, and related technical and administrative support services. Specific expertise and experience required includes, but is not limited to training development support, training delivery support, management of a training program, general administrative, office and conference center support. Established by Congress in 1970, the National Highway Institute (NHI) is the training and education arm of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). NHI's mission is to provide technical transportation training and associated materials to the surface transportation community. Since 2004, NHI has been authorized by the International Association of Continuing Education and Training (IACET) to award Continuing Education Units (CEU) to participants who successfully complete selected NHI training courses. Traditionally, the NHI offered instructor-led training (ILT) within a classroom setting. Sensitive to the time and travel constraints of customers and aware of advances in a wide array of instructional technologies, NHI has dramatically expanded their distance learning offerings. These include Web-Based Training (WBT), Web Conference Training (WCT), Videoconference training (VCT), flipped classroom training, blended learning, new technologies such as mobile apps and virtual world delivery, and new evolving training delivery platforms. NHI also develops and updates supplemental materials and services to support training, advance the state of practice and implement best practices. NHI charges external participants for many of its training courses and materials. In addition, NHI provides specialized training and development services internally to FHWA, although NHI is not responsible for all aspects of employee development and training. Today, NHI administers memberships with industry associations on behalf of the agency. NHI also provides instructional systems design expertise, resources and programs to enhance the instructional skills and capabilities of FHWA employees, and, in some cases, will assist other FHWA offices with development of training that is not delivered through NHI. Finally, NHI identifies, tests, pilots and implements new tools and technologies to support learning. NHI delivers its training courses based primarily on demand from customers, thus the number of training sessions delivered is variable and unknown in advance. The NHI website ( http://www.nhi.fhwa.dot.gov/ ) provides a listing of current training courses, as well as information on training philosophy, instructor standards, and the NHI Style Guide. In 2016, NHI delivered classroom-based instructor-led training to 15,301 participants; web-conference training to 32,437 participants, and supported registrations of 47,854 participants in its web-based trainings. NHI participation has shown a consistent growth trend since at least 2006, with much of the growth resulting from web-based trainings. Instructor led training sessions have had generally steady participation and session ordering during this time with some year-by-year variation. The NAICS code for this requirement is 541611. The RFP will be released and available electronically at www.fbo.gov. Interested parties may register at the aforementioned site to receive a variety of procurement announcements/notifications. It is the responsibility of interested parties to monitor the FedBizOpps website for any amendments to the RFP package. NO OTHER PROCUREMENT INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME.
