Reference Text Question/Comment Response
1) Technical Exhibit 1,
10. Trainers
Trainers should have at least five (5) years of experience in a training role with ten (10) years of animal facility experience.
This proposer finds that the qualifications stipulated for the Trainer position are not congruent with the market.
Comparable contracts with similar trainer positions stipulate 5 years working in an animal research environment with 2 years of teaching work-related classes/didactic training as an ancillary duty in a leadership/training role.
Would the Government re-consider the qualifications required to allow for a greater pool of candidates when recruiting for this position?
The Government is willing to accept that Trainers have at least five (5) years of experience in a training role with five (5) years of animal facility experience, but would prefer if there are additional years of experience in an animal facility.
