About this opportunity

The Department of Transportation's Pipeline and Hazardous Material Safety Administration (PHMSA) is seeking to procure an External Corrosion Direct Assessment (ECDA) Field Course. The objective of the training program is to provide federal and state pipeline safety personnel with the knowledge required to perform inspections of ECDA programs, which are used to assess external coatings and corrosion on pipelines. The contractor will be responsible for providing instruction on ECDA topics, demonstrating field equipment, and meeting specific instructor qualifications. The courses will be held 3 times per year at the PHMSA Training & Qualifications Center in Oklahoma City, with up to 5 classes per fiscal year. PHMSA will evaluate the contractor's ability to deliver the training effectively.

This opportunity is not set-aside. The primary NAICS code is likely 541712 (Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (except Biotechnology)), and the main PSC code would be AD26 (Educational and Training Services). There is no mention of any incumbent contractors or award values. PHMSA intends to award a firm-fixed-price purchase order contract using simplified acquisition procedures, and the responses to the Request for Information are due by April 8, 2024.
