Project Management Professional Training Course

The United States Marine Corps (USMC), specifically Marine Forces Command (MARFORCOM), is seeking a contractor to deliver a Project Management Professional (PMP) exam preparation training course for 25 students. The training requires a comprehensive program that provides 35 hours of in-person instruction, including study materials, practice exams, and certification test preparation. The course will be held at Naval Support Activity Hampton Roads in Norfolk, VA, with training to commence no earlier than March 1, 2025, and potentially spanning 4-5 days. The contractor must comply with Project Management Institute (PMI) standards and provide digital study materials, two full-length practice exams, attendance tracking, training completion certificates, and PMP exam coordination. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed, the contractor will need to demonstrate expertise in PMP training and ability to meet the precise requirements outlined in the Performance Work Statement.

The contract opportunity is designated as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-aside, which limits competition to qualifying vendors. The training is categorized under NAICS code 611430 for Professional and Management Development Training and PSC code U009 for Education/Training-General. The contract will require the contractor to cover all travel and lodging expenses, with the government providing classroom space and projector. The total contract will be structured with three Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs) covering the live course with materials, exam preparation and fees, and travel costs. While specific award value is not disclosed, the scope suggests a moderate-sized professional training contract focused on supporting MARFORCOM's professional development objectives. The proposed training period runs from March 3, 2025, to May 2, 2025, with responses to the pre-solicitation due by February 5, 2025.
