Each training module is designed for 30 minutes to one hour in duration and must meet accessibility standards. The RFQ was issued on February 11, 2026, with questions due February 18, 2026, and proposals due February 26, 2026, at 5:00 PM PST. Pivto Better Learning was selected as the apparent successful quote on March 10, 2026, with the protest period expiring at 5:00 PM Pacific Time on March 17, 2026. All training materials must be completed and integrated into a DELC-identified centralized platform by November 15, 2026, with the contract term anticipated to be one year.

The contract has a not-to-exceed value of $250,000 for the entirety of the project. Required vendor qualifications included a minimum of five years of experience providing similar services, successful implementation of a current eLearning system within the past three years, and demonstrated expertise in adult learning curriculum applied to asynchronous training content. Key personnel were required to possess strong project management and business analysis skills, recent experience in virtual asynchronous training material development, and the ability to translate content into multiple languages including Spanish, Russian, Vietnamese, and Chinese.
