ANSWERS TO VENDOR'S QUESTIONS:

Question: 1. Do NUWC Keyport Division personnel currently receive contractor provided training on Cause Mapping?

Answer: No, not on a routine basis. One training session was held at Keyport in FY16. Previous session was three or four years prior. The San Diego and Hawaii sites have not had training.

Question: 2. If the answer to Question #1 is yes, what is the length of current training sessions and who provides the training?

Answer: Entry level. Some with no experience and others with limited experience as participants during cause mapping events at Keyport.

Question: 4. If we were to demonstrate the use of documenting a Cause Map using an Excel Workbook during a training session, would attendees have access to a computer in the training session so that they can work through exercises in Excel during the training session?

Answer: No. Instructor will have access to a government computer with screen projection. USB drives and non-government computers are not authorized on installations. A USB connected wireless mouse would be allowed.

Material on a CD would be allowed for use on the government computer.

Question: 5. Will attendees be able to utilize training documentation and materials provided on electronic media (e.g. CD, USB drive, etc.) or should training documentation and materials for attendees be limited to hard copy only?

Answer: No, students will not have computer access during the training. Yes, hard copy material would be beneficial for attendees during training. Attendees would also benefit from course material on CDs for use after training is complete. USB drives and non-government computers are not authorized on installations. Instructor will have access to a government computer with screen projection. A USB connected wireless mouse would be allowed. Material on a CD would be allowed for use on the government computer.

Question: 6. In order to develop a tailored training solution, will NUWC provide one or two case studies for use during the training sessions?

Answer: No. Case studies will vary based on the students and locations, so one or two case studies won't be provided in advance. However, During the conduct of the course, instructor-student interface could result in having students perform exercises based on their specific job related scenarios.
