Description

NASA/JSC plans to issue a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for the course entitled "Maximizing Performance in Organizations" to be given to 35 NASA Johnson Space Center employees of the International Space Station Program's top-level managers. This procurement is being conducted under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) in accordance with 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) and FAR Part 6.302.1. NASA/JSC intends to purchase this training from The Ivy Faculty Consortium who will provide a customized version of Harvard University's "Managing People for Maxiumum Performance." This course has been designed specifically for senior government leaders and will be further customized to accommodate the NASA Johnson Space Center executive audience.

Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to the identified point of contact not later than 3:00 p.m. local time on February 28, 2001.
