The Department of Energy Office of Science, through Brookhaven National Laboratory, is seeking a contractor to provide custom training courses for the Data Science & Systems Integration (DSSI) Program. The procurement requires expert-level training in experimental science tools, core technologies including Python programming, NumPy/pandas, and Matplotlib, as well as supporting technologies such as Docker, Ansible, and shell scripting. The contractor must deliver various training formats including small-group interactive classes, one-on-one study sessions, a weeklong onsite professional development event, and ongoing staff professional development across six training levels. Vendors must demonstrate extensive experience delivering training to DOE Laboratory staff, contributing to core technologies, and working with DSSI staff, along with expertise in experimental science tooling and engagement with open-source scientific communities. The award will be made to the lowest-priced, technically acceptable offeror, with quotes due by July 24, 2025, at 5:00 PM EST and questions due by July 17, 2025.

This opportunity is set aside for small businesses as a firm fixed-price contract with an initial performance period from August 15, 2025, to August 14, 2026, and includes four potential one-year option extensions that could extend the contract through August 14, 2030. The current contractor is Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC, which manages Brookhaven National Laboratory under contract with the U.S. Department of Energy. The training program encompasses multiple milestones across the base year and option years, including custom leveled training courses organized into six different training levels from 100-400, covering individual training, core skills training, skills survey training, motion study training, advanced skills training, and project-based enrichment training. The contract also requires providing over 100 hours of supplementary training materials and dedicated scheduling support, with monthly feedback to DSSI management. Performance will take place in Upton, New York, at Brookhaven National Laboratory.
