Performance Work Statement

Federal Acquisition Certification in Contracting Core-Plus Specialization in Digital Services (FAC-C-DS) Training Program

1. BACKGROUND

The Federal Acquisition Institute (FAI) is charged with a government-wide mission to establish, facilitate and execute a variety of interagency initiatives necessary to promote the development of an agile and qualified Federal Acquisition Workforce. In 2011, the Federal Acquisition Institute Improvement Act strengthened FAI’s role to satisfy 12 statutory responsibilities in three broad areas: professional certification training, human capital planning, and acquisition research.

On May 18, 2018, the Office of Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP) launched the new digital services certification program (FAC-C-DS) with the goal of creating a digital IT acquisition professional (DITAP) community. This new specialization aligns with the President’s Management Agenda in the areas of modernizing the government’s IT, improving the efficiency and effectiveness of our services, and developing a 21st century workforce. A common component of these strategies is delivering data, information, and transactional services across multiple platforms to transform how citizens interact with their government.

To develop this new generation of digital services, the workforce must learn and apply new skills. Buying digital services is not a skill that is gained through the standard FAC-C curriculum, thereby necessitating a specialized and immersive training and development program called the Digital IT Acquisition Program (DITAP), which leads to the FAC-C-DS. This specialization meets an urgent need for digital services expertise and will be part of a larger effort to raise the overall competency of the acquisition workforce in acquiring IT solutions. In order to understand how to craft acquisitions to procure digital services, the acquisition workforce has a need for the training required to obtain their FAC-C-DS certification. FAI is supporting the DITAP program by purchasing seats for a cohort to be offered free of charge to the civilian agencies.

2. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

In support of the FAC-C-DS program, FAI is purchasing one (1) DITAP cohort for up to 30 students. This cohort will consist of Contracting Officers from various civilian agencies and there will be no cost for them to attend. In order to be considered, all participants must be at least FAC-C Level 2 certified at the time of their application. FAI will not be involved in the selection or management of the DITAP cohort; this process will be managed by the contractor.

The Contractor shall provide all labor, materials, transportation, and other incidentals necessary to develop and provide the instructor guided education, in the area of FAC-C-DS, focused on enhancing the skills and understanding, to a diverse GS-1102 workforce. The Contractor shall provide an immersive DITAP training program in order for the GS-1102 workforce participants to obtain their FAC-C-DS certification. The curriculum shall be based on the approved guidance provided at https://techfarhub.cio.gov/initiatives/ditap/, utilizing of multi-modal learning

Section C Page 6 https://techfarhub.cio.gov/initiatives/ditap/ techniques including, but not limited to, a learning management system, allowing students to interact, and shall feature self-directed, guided and applied learning, classroom instruction, case studies, guest speakers, and hands-on skills building through a live digital assignment, all of which the Contractor shall be responsible to provide.

The Contractor shall ensure the program incorporates the most current resources, tools, and best practices in digital service acquisition, including:

● Methods to acquire and monitor contracts for services such as human-centered design, iterative development methods, cloud, and X-as-a-service

● How to use and apply metrics and incentives appropriately

● Techniques to create a culture of innovation and lead customers to the best solutions

The contractor shall be responsible for creating the cohort application, vetting the submissions and making final selection of program participants, with input from FAI. The contractor shall meet with FAI prior to beginning the application and selection process.

FAI reserves the right to observe classroom activities (in person and virtual sessions) and receive student communications in real time. The contractor shall provide FAI Project Managers with the ability to be enrolled as an observer (not an actual enrolled students).

3. CONTRACT TYPE

This will be a firm-fixed price contract.

5. PLACE OF PERFORMANCE

Training shall be delivered through a mix of both remote and in-person sessions. The contractor shall be responsible for the coordination of all remote and in-person training sessions. FAI will not provide any classroom space for the in-person training sessions.

6. DELIVERABLES

Unless noted otherwise, all of the deliverables shall be provided in an electronic format to the designated Contracting Officer Representative (COR) for this contract. A description of each deliverable is provided after this chart.
