RFR TAA Training EOL 18-02 (FY24)

The Massachusetts Executive Office of Labor and Workforce Development (EOLWD) Department of Career Services (DCS) is seeking to establish a list of qualified training providers to offer retraining services to dislocated workers in Massachusetts. The goal is to assist these individuals in gaining new skills for employment at a new job and a salary comparable to their previous job. The procurement is a competitive, rolling enrollment process where bidders can submit responses at any time during the active period of the Request for Response (RFR). The anticipated contract duration is 5 years with a 5-year renewal option. All training providers must be approved vendors on the Massachusetts Eligible Training Provider List (ETPL), meet mandatory requirements, and agree to the pricing terms and performance measures. Training costs will be reimbursed on a cost-basis up to established funding levels, and participants will not be charged any fees. The DCS will monitor contractor performance, and past performance may impact future procurement opportunities.

The RFR does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The incumbent vendors or current contractors are not listed, and the RFR does not provide information on any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The available budget or potential award values are also not explicitly stated in the provided documents.
