Sub-grantee/Sub-award Virtual Training

The Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians (CTCLUSI) has issued a Request for Quotes (RFQ) for virtual training services focused on grant compliance and subaward administration. The procurement seeks two separate training programs: a Finance-Focused Grant Compliance and Administration Training for approximately 6-8 Finance personnel, and a Department-Focused Grant Compliance and Subaward Management Training for approximately 30-35 participants across the Departments of Natural Resources, Health, and Social Services. The vendor must develop training in three phases, beginning with project kickoff and planning (Phase 1), proceeding to training content development and review (Phase 2), and concluding with virtual delivery via Zoom or Microsoft Teams during Summer 2026 (Phase 3), with each training session lasting approximately 60 minutes plus a question-and-answer period. Key deliverables include final presentation materials and recorded sessions, which must be submitted within 5 business days of training completion. Vendors must submit separate fee quotes for each training session with transparent disclosure of any additional costs and explanations thereof. The evaluation criteria include Experience & Qualifications (25%), Regulatory Compliance (25%), Cost & Pricing Transparency (25%), Customer Support (20%), and Indian-owned business preference (5%). Vendors must submit questions by May 28, 2026 at 2:00 PM Pacific Standard Time, with quotes due electronically to Procurement@ctclusi.org by June 4, 2026 at 2:00 PM PST.

CTCLUSI has expressed a preference for Indian-owned businesses as part of its evaluation criteria, though this does not restrict other vendors from responding. The contract structure is based on the Professional Services Contract template provided by CTCLUSI, with compensation terms to be outlined in the selected vendor's quote and corresponding contract documentation. CTCLUSI will not reimburse travel or out-of-pocket expenses, and the organization is exempt from state sales tax. No specific budget range or award value has been published; however, vendors are instructed to provide transparent pricing for each training session separately. CTCLUSI reserves the right to reject any or all quotes, negotiate terms with the selected vendor, and does not guarantee award of a contract. All submitted materials become the property of CTCLUSI, and vendors are solely responsible for providing all requested information and meeting RFQ requirements.
