NFA Leadership Series

The Oregon Department of Public Safety Standards and Training (DPSST) is seeking a qualified vendor to provide instructional services for the National Fire Academy (NFA) Leadership in Supervision Series. The procurement involves delivering three specific courses: Creating Environments for Professional Growth (0646), Perspectives in Thinking (0647), and Frameworks to Success (0648), each consisting of 16 hours of instruction over two days. The training will be conducted in four Oregon locations: Umatilla County, Klamath County, Coos County, and the Eugene-Springfield area. Vendors must be an approved NFA contract instructor at the time of quote submission, with the primary target audience being first-line supervisors in fire and EMS organizations, and secondary consideration for first-line management personnel. The Request for Quotation (RFQ) requires vendors to submit a fixed-price quote that is all-inclusive of expenses, with quotes due by February 22, 2024, through the OregonBuys system. The resulting contract will be a single agency-specific Master Blanket Purchase Order, with DPSST responsible for arranging training facilities.

There are no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types mentioned in the procurement documents. The vendor must comply with comprehensive insurance requirements, including Workers' Compensation, Commercial General Liability, Automobile Liability, and Professional Liability insurance with specified minimum coverage limits. While no specific budget range or award value is explicitly stated, the contract will be structured as a Master Blanket Purchase Order for instructional services. Vendors must adhere to the DPSST Terms and Conditions for Services and provide proof of insurance prior to contract execution. The opportunity is specifically focused on Union County and other specified Oregon locations, with a clear emphasis on providing leadership training for fire and emergency services personnel. No incumbent vendors or existing technology integration requirements are detailed in the provided documentation.
