U -- LEADERSHIP TRAINING COURSES SOL TIRNO-00-Q-01110 DUE 012800 POC Steven G. VanderLinden, Contracting Officer, FAX (202) 283-1514 E-MAIL: click here to contact the Contracting Officer via, steve.g.vanderlinden@m1.irs.gov. This modification provides clarifications and corrections to combined synopsis/solicitation TIRNO-00-Q-01110, submission number 413076, transmitted to the Commerce Business Daily (CBD) on January 4, 2000. The original notice stated that the IRS seeks contractor assistance in conducting Mid-Level Leadership Training courses during the period from April 1, 2000 to September 30, 2000. This schedule was misleading and is modified as follows: Contract award is scheduled on or about February 15, 2000, with actual conduct of classes during the period from May through September, 2000. The original notice also called for a maximum of 8 courses during the contract period. This was incorrect. The maximum number of courses anticipated is 5. Technical evaluation will be based on capabilities as evidenced by the proposal submitted in response to the Statement of Work. We would expect that the proposal would concentrate on how the offeror intends to meet the technical requirements spelled out in the original CBD notice, including course design or ways in which existing courses would be modified to meet the stated need. The intent is not to preclude those offerors who would be designing courses from scratch, but we are particularly encouraging the modification of existing contractor courses as the probable most effective and economical means of meeting the need. Review of performance milestones in the original notice disclosed potential incongruities, so the milestone schedule is restated as follows: IRS provides 360 degree assessment forms to contractor 10 days after award; contractor presents draft course materials for review within 45 days after award; IRS reviews materials and provides written comments within 10 days after submission; contractor returns materials with recommended changes made within 5 days after receipt of IRS comments; instructor team planning sessions and executive briefings to take place from two to four weeks prior to each course; 25 copies of student course materials including binders will be provided to the IRS MPL two weeks prior to the starting date of each class; within 10 days after completion of each class the instructor will collect student evaluation data, analyze results, and make written recommendations for necessary revisions. Any dates not mentioned above remain unchanged from the original milestones. As a result of this modification, the proposal due date is extended to Friday, January 28, 2000 at 4:00 p.m. All other terms and conditions remain unchanged. FAR 52.212-3 must be completed and submitted with the proposal. FAR 52.212-3 is available on-line from www.arnet.gov/far. Posted 01/20/00 (W-SN417295). (0020)
