This training is required for Project Managers to enhance their skill sets/competencies required and help maintain their certifications.  This course also benefits Architects and Engineers staff.  The determination not to compete this proposed contract is based on the fact this course was previously taught in 2021 to Project Management Division associates.  Due to schedule and other challenges not, all associates were able to attend the training in 2021.  Plus, there are now new associates that have joined the division and need this training.  To ensure the training is of the same quality and the information is consistent, it is imperative that the same vendor and instructor teach the course.  The NAICS code is 611430 with a small business standard of $13M.
