The Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command is seeking a comprehensive data center design training course for the 355th Civil Engineer Squadron (355 CES) at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base. The training program must cover five critical areas: Data Center Fundamentals, Infrastructure Design, Capacity Planning and Scalability, Efficiency and Sustainability, and Management and Operations. Contractors must provide certified instructors, training materials, and equipment to deliver a customized training program that results in an industry-recognized certification aligned with standards like TIA-942 and ASHRAE. The evaluation will be based on a lowest-priced technically acceptable (LPTA) methodology, with vendors required to demonstrate credentials to be earned, course description, materials, and preparation requirements. Proposals must be submitted by April 3, 2025, with the training course to be completed no later than May 16, 2025, or the proposal will be deemed non-responsive.

The solicitation is set aside for total small business participation under NAICS category 611430 for Professional and Management Development Training. The training will be conducted on-site in Tucson, Arizona, and is designed for 8-10 participants over a five-day period. No specific incumbent or current contractor is mentioned in the documentation. While no specific award value is stated, the procurement is focused on delivering a comprehensive, certification-oriented training program that equips 355 CES personnel with advanced knowledge in data center design and management. The course must include hands-on labs, simulations, and prepare participants to pass an industry-recognized certification exam, with strict compliance required for base security regulations and confidentiality protocols. The training's primary objective is to enhance the technical capabilities of Air Force personnel in designing, implementing, and managing modern data center infrastructure.
