Question: Could you please clarify something with regard to Solicitation Number: HSFE02-17-Q-0025?

Question: I have a quick question regarding this RFQ. I have noticed there are 5 courses that are requested in the statement of objectives:

1) Project Management Principals (Course 6100)

2) Leadership and Communications Skills for Project Managers (Course 6101)

3) Building Business Cases (Course 6134)

4) Crafting High Quality Requirements (Course 6311)

5) Project Risk Management (Course 6103)

I have noticed that these course titles, course numbers, and requirements match one to one with the following courses – all from the same company.

1) Project Management Principals (Course 6100) -http://www.managementconcepts.com/MC_Custom/FAQ_files/6100.pdf

Is the RFQ pre-determined and set aside for Management Concepts?

Answer: No, this RFQ is not pre-determined or set-aside for Management Concepts. We used the course description as market research. I will amend the RFQ to remove the course numbers as this may be confusing.

Question: We are interested in responding to the above referenced RFQ. Our Project Management courses are PMI certified but we are not partnering with an accredited university. Is this acceptable?

After completion of our courses students will earn the appropriate PDU's which can be applied to PMI certification or maintenance

Answer: Yes, this is acceptable. As long as the Project Management courses are PMI certified, you do not need to be partnered with an accredited university.
