Office of Policy

All classes must be accessible on the DOJ/EOIR network by showing FedRAMP certification or proof of current approved access by DOJ employees (e.g., existing contract with a DOJ component).

3. NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS: DOJ/EOIR requires access for 1,230 participants. Therefore, the vendor must not have a limit for capacity for on- demand courses and the limit for live webcast courses must not be fewer than 25.
