RFQ # 10200207 - Learning Management System (LMS)

The California Department of Water Resources (DWR) has issued Request for Quotation (RFQ) #10200207 for the procurement of an interactive, online Learning Management System (LMS) to provide Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) compliance training. The contractor will be responsible for hosting the LMS and providing access to over 1,000 DWR employees and vendors, allowing DWR to upload student data, generate completion certificates, and maintain training records. The LMS must educate users on the required objectives in CIP-004 R2.1, with the contractor tracking any changes to the NERC CIP standard and updating the content accordingly. Key dates include a question deadline of November 12, 2024 and a quotation due date of November 27, 2024. The contract term is for three years of annual training services, with the goal of making the new LMS accessible to users as soon as possible after the award.

Suppliers claiming small business or disabled veteran business enterprise preferences will receive applicable bid adjustments. The quotation must be submitted on the supplier's official letterhead and include required administrative forms. The cost for the LMS solution is not to exceed $300,000, and DWR plans to award a vendor within one month of the RFQ due date. DWR is not looking to integrate the vendor-provided LMS with their internal systems, but will use it as a stand-alone system to schedule and record the CIP training, with DWR administrators responsible for enrolling students and generating completion reports.
