Carahsoft Technology Corporation is LinkedIn’s sole government distributor for the LinkedIn Learning product line.

This is a limited sources action. Carahsoft Technology Corporation is LinkedIn’s sole government distributor for the LinkedIn Learning product line.

The Bureau continues to explore tools and industry resources to engage with prospective employment candidates and build talent pipeline. The Talent Acquisition specialists review the Bureau’s portfolio of digital media platforms and benchmarks to see if changes to resource requirements or vendors is beneficial. Further, the Bureau consistently tries to find the best value for such services and explores different acquisition strategies. Previously all digital media services were purchased through a single vendor who bundled subscriptions of multiple platforms. Direct procurement of these services through their source vendors has proven to be more economically prudent for the organization, though CFPB continues to monitor if that approach remains valid.
