Drug & Alcohol Training Aug. 15

The state of Pennsylvania, specifically Centre County and Sugarcreek Borough, is seeking a contract for drug and alcohol training facilities and overnight lodging for Office of Vocational Rehabilitation (OVR) staff. The procurement opportunity requires a venue within two miles of State College, PA (zip code 16803) capable of hosting a multi-day training event from August 12-14, 2015. The specific training schedule includes a Wednesday afternoon session from 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM, a full-day Thursday session from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, and a half-day Friday session from 8:00 AM to 12 Noon. The selected vendor must provide comprehensive training facilities that can accommodate OVR staff for the entire duration, with potential requirements for meeting rooms, audiovisual equipment, and overnight accommodations. The contract opportunity was posted on April 9, 2015, with proposals due by April 23, 2015, indicating a relatively short response window for potential bidders.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor types were explicitly mentioned in the contract opportunity details. The document does not provide information about incumbent vendors, existing infrastructure requirements, or specific budget ranges for the training and lodging services. While the procurement is for a specific training event, the potential vendor would need to demonstrate capability to provide suitable facilities, lodging, and support for a professional training environment. The contract appears to be a one-time procurement focused on meeting the specific logistical needs of the OVR staff training event in August 2015. Interested vendors would need to carefully review the full statement of work, which was referenced but not included in the provided contract opportunity information, to understand the complete scope of requirements and expectations for the training facility and accommodation services.
