IFB - Commercial Driver? s License Training

The District of Columbia is seeking bids for a Commercial Driver's License (CDL) Training procurement through an Invitation for Bid (IFB) process. This solicitation appears to target comprehensive CDL training services for municipal or government personnel requiring professional driving credentials. The opportunity involves selecting a qualified training provider capable of delivering comprehensive CDL instruction, likely including classroom education, behind-the-wheel training, and certification preparation. Potential vendors must demonstrate substantial expertise in commercial driver training, compliance with District of Columbia and federal commercial driving standards, and the ability to prepare candidates for all CDL classification examinations. The bid is scheduled to be released on August 19, 2025, with proposals due by August 25, 2025, indicating a relatively tight procurement timeline. Bidders will likely need to demonstrate instructor qualifications, training curriculum depth, successful past performance, and adherence to Department of Motor Vehicle regulations.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the provided information, District of Columbia procurement typically emphasizes opportunities for local, small, and disadvantaged business enterprises. Potential respondents should anticipate potential preference given to District-based companies or those meeting local small business certification requirements. The training program may require integration with existing District workforce development infrastructure and potentially coordinate with municipal departments responsible for transportation, public works, or fleet management. Although precise budget ranges are not specified, government CDL training contracts often range between $100,000 to $500,000 depending on the number of personnel to be trained and program comprehensiveness. Vendors should be prepared to provide detailed cost breakdowns, demonstrate scalability of training programs, and show capacity to meet potential future expansion of training requirements for municipal workforce development initiatives.
