For each contract the offeror shall provide: contract number, agency name and address, agency point of contact, telephone number and email address, and a description of the work performed.

There are no known changes at this time but there is no guarantee that the same training schedule, number of training days and the locations will be the same in the future or throughout the life of the awarded contract.
