U -- EDUCATION AND TRAINING SERVICES SOL TIRMS-97-Q-00053 DUE 030497 POC Contact Ila Krause, Contract Specialist (972) 308-1992. The Internal Revenue Service is issuing a Request for Quotations under the Simplified Acquisition (SA) process where the vendor will design, develop, and present a series of training events to provide Education employees Servicewide with the skills, knowledge, tools and techniques to enable them to begin to function as performance consultants in the Internal Revenue Service. It will assist them in acquiring a new mind set regarding the evolving role of the Education professional. Rather than viewing themselves solely as managers or deliverers of "training events" that are tangential to business operations, they will recognize the value of assuming the role of performance technologist through direct involvement with actual operations. In addition, the training will provide new competencies in the areas of building partnerships, diagnosing problems, analyzing problem causes, designing interventions, implementing changes, and measuring results. The Statement of Work provides for the vendor to work in conjunction with IRS School of Professional Development employees to design and present such a program. The training is to be delivered primarily through the IRS Satellite Network. Contractor's quote will be evaluated by price, technical acceptability, experience and past performance. Award will be made to that offeror whose quote is most advantageous to the Government. All responsible sources may submit a proposal which shall be considered by the Government no later than 15 days after the date of this announcement. For a complete description of the service please request copies of the RFQ by fax to 972-308-1928. (0037)
