Just to confirm, is your group only looking for live boot camp training this year for around 60 staff members? RFQ
The United States Coast Guard (USCG) is requesting 24 x 7 on-demand, online training (no in person courses).
We did not see anything in the solicitation to renew the 700 Skills on-demand licenses and add in live training for staff members? RFQ
This solicitation is not to renew 700 skills on-demand licenses.
However, the request is for a combination of on-demand training licenses as well as online bootcamp classes.

ID 70Z02321QMWC00600)? RFQ The incumbent for this requirement is Infosec Institute.
Whether companies from Outside USA can apply for this? (like, from India or Canada) RFQ Yes.

RFQ Section (vii)
SOW Section 4.1
For the post award conference, the conference shall be by phone or other virtual source, please review section (vii) of the solicitation or section 4.1 of the SOW.
Can we perform the tasks (related to RFP) outside USA? (like, from
India or Canada) RFQ
Yes, in accordance with FAR 25.103, the restriction on purchasing foreign end products does not apply to acquisition of information technology that is a commercial item.
7 Can we submit the proposals via email? RFQ Section (xv)
Yes, the USCG is requiring emailed submission to responses to the solicitation, please review section (xv) of the solicitation.
In the Learning catalog section, is the government requesting “user licenses” in the quantity section for each CLIN? For example, CLIN 1 is A+/Network+ Boot Camp. It has the quantity of 1. Is this for one student license in our platform or is it for one class with potentially
20 or more students? SOW, 2.2-2.4
In accordance with SOW section 2.2-2.4, all licenses are transferrable, except Boot camps, please review sections 2-2-2-4 of the SOW.
In the pricing spreadsheet, there is not a line item for the workforce assessment software hosting. Should this be broken out in a separate pricing portion of our response?
Attachment 2 -
Pricing Worksheet
Workforce assessment software hosting should be incorporated in the cost of the CLIN. We would consider this an indirect cost.
