About this file

This is a Request to Qualify (RTQ) solicitation packet issued by Miami-Dade County's Strategic Procurement Department establishing a prequalified vendor pool (RTQ-02018) for professional and technical training services. The solicitation seeks to identify vendors capable of providing various training services including classroom training, instructor-led training, mentored learning, e-learning, and on-site training across multiple disciplines such as project management, leadership development, IT security, Microsoft Technical, Oracle, and Cisco certifications. Vendor submissions were accepted through November 8, 2021, with the question and answer period ending October 28, 2021. The pool will be established on the first calendar day of the month following Board of County Commissioners approval and will expire on the last day of the five-year term. Placement in the pool does not constitute a contract but rather acknowledges that vendors meet specified qualifications for participation in future spot market competitions in the form of Invitations to Quote (ITQ) or Work Order Proposal Requests (WOPR).

Vendors must meet qualification criteria including submission of three professional reference letters demonstrating regular engagement in providing professional or technical training services and designation of a company representative with contact information for service inquiries. Qualified trainers must possess a minimum of four years of experience in their subject matter, with professional trainers requiring a Bachelor's Degree in Education, Training, Computer Science, Information Systems, or Business, while technical application trainers require similar credentials in technical disciplines. No insurance is required for prequalification; however, insurance requirements will be specified in subsequent spot market solicitations. The pool carries an estimated value of $6,450,000 over the five-year term. Future solicitations resulting from this pool will incorporate Section 1 General Terms and Conditions of Miami-Dade County Procurement Contracts, with certain provisions exempted for federally funded projects. The County reserves the right to add additional services and qualification criteria to the pool as deemed necessary.
