About this file

This is a Request for Quote issued by the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) for mainframe training services. The solicitation, identified as Bidbuy #26-494DOT-FINAD-B-51214, seeks qualified vendors to provide a one-year subscription of unlimited, on-demand, pre-recorded, self-paced mainframe training courses. IDOT will directly compensate the awarded vendor, and subcontracting is not permitted.

The contract requires vendors to deliver on-demand training courses accessible at any time throughout the subscription period for 12 IDOT users. Pricing must be calculated on a per-user basis rather than per-course basis. The scope of work encompasses comprehensive mainframe training content including COBOL Programming fundamentals and advanced concepts, Job Control Language (JCL), mainframe databases such as DB2, IMS, and VSAM, mainframe operating systems including z/OS architecture and TSO/ISPF usage, and MVS and mainframe security topics covering RACF administration and access control. The courses must be offered on-demand and remain private to IDOT users. No live instruction is required, and users will not access the platform simultaneously.
