Added: Nov 21, 2017 3:45 pm USDA is moving from a SAP/SF/Plateau-based system to an Open Source Solution called Totara.

• Lower cost - reduces budget pressures; can share costs with other fed orgs
• More flexible - can modify the system more easily; can expand to non-traditional audiences
• Better user engagement - more types of training activities; works natively on mobile devices
• Easier to maintain - easier to administer; fewer client plug-ins

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) provides leadership on food, agriculture, natural resources, and related issues. With a staff of over 100,000 employees, one of the major challenges is improving and optimizing the skills and knowledge of this workforce. To assist with this challenge, the USDA utilizes a Learning Management System (LMS) branded as the Agriculture Learning (AgLearn) system. USDA has decided to change the underlying software that supports AgLearn, the Next Generation LMS project is the migration of AgLearn to the Totara LMS platform.
USDA has requested a change order to continue the Professional Services in support of the Next Generation LMS Project, this change order is Totara / Next Gen LMS Professional Services.
The Next Gen LMS solution is hosted at the USDA NITC data center, and all security and compliance related tasks to this project are being managed with the OCIO EAS S& NITC security team.
USDA is requesting a contract to continue the Professional Services in support of their Next Generation LMS project. This proposal is for Professional Services support for the period beginning November 1, 2017 through April 30, 2018.
